- Being cooped up in my apartment because temperatures outside are ridiculously cold is getting old. I've reorganized my silverware and put my scrapbook in alphabetical order. I've updated my iPod and changed the background on my laptop's screen. ...
- Ever have a day when you had PTSD anxiety symptoms, but they never resolved themselves, never revealed their cause, their trigger, never defined themselves with any clarity? Never came to a head?Today it's been like I'm on a roller coaster with the...
- A friend here from DS PTSD were talking in individual messages about free will and the choice to be happy when PTSD brings on inevitable symptoms. An image came to me in the conversation that might be interesting beyond just the two of us in our...
- Anybody had a sign of personal growth in coping better with PTSD symptoms lately? I had one. I was teaching at the college today, and I had a student smart off about something I said in a lecture. It wasnt outright insulting, but it was an...
- I woke up with an upper respiratory infection on Monday. I've been feverish and have a stuffed up head and a barking cough for 2 days now. I've slept through the day and the night for both days now. I'm hoping to pull myself together and get out...
- Months ago I made plans to visit old friends in Chicago for New Year's. Now it's time to take the train. As always, I'm anxious about being on a vehicle for so long with a lot of other people. I've got the New Year's jitters.Thankfully, being here...
- It's the night of Dec 23rd 2013. Tomorrow the Christmas 48 hour holiday begins. I know it's shaded with a variety of family memories and emotions. Sure is for me. We've done a good job of supporting each other in the run up. Peace tomorrow and...
- Anybody else figure out their semi-shut in v semi function in the world social limits with PTSD?I ask because I'm mostly solo. I do well in front of classes teaching and even in front of church congregations working as a supply preacher. But in...
- My abuser has been notified by an attorney, no less, to stay the heck away from me and not to stalk me any more. Still, he sends the occasional post card to my work via US Mail at work around the holidays. Did it again today. He knows I won't open...
- I was getting ready for another Christmas alone this year. I did it that way the last 2 years after my abuser brought violence to Christmas Day in 2010 and I walked away having been punched in the face.For the past 2 was more scary waiting for the...
- I've been sharing with sidarta about how PTSD has been hard in terms of running to the US for safety from my South American country's war where I got PTSD. Then the long PTSD recovery process of returning there and feeling safe again, something...
- Two people reappeared in my life today at work. Many people here prayed for them and sent good thoughts their way. Both are older female "non-traditional" students in the same community college class I teach. Really nice people.In the same week...
- (Here is some ranting and some thanks, both real. What 's not real, though, is the idea that I really hate my boss or wish my boss harm. That's just ranting. The thanks to all here for your support with this job, though, is totally real.)It's my...
- Thanks, everybody, for caring this week. I needed support this week and asked for it and got it. The semester started in August with a disruption in my teaching schedule that ended up with my teaching 12 hours every Tuesday, from 9 am to 9 pm. ...
- Mandela went through 27 unfair years in prison before he came out to lead South Africa to freedom. Many of us have been through 27 unfair years or more with PTSD, living with the consequences of a trauma we didn't ask for either.I found out that...
