- I posted a couple of days ago how I was getting tired and feeling more pain these days. Now I'm coming to the end of a good semester teaching at the college, thanks to the support here every day. I've even been able to have a few classes about...
- I'm having some extra daily physical pain from my kidney disease and its secondary effects on my body. It's caused nerve damage in my hands and feet (neuropathy). It's not just numbness, but pain, too. Since just before Thanksgiving until now...
- I've gotten so used to enjoying your posts every day, rafyel, like I do with arfie's. She went on a trip, so I wondered if you did, too, since I didn't see you post yesterday and today. Looking forward to seeing you again!
- I'm among those of us at DS PTSD who stay away from family especially at Christmas for my physical survival and mental health. Since I know I'm not alone, I was wondering if I could impose on others who won't be spending time with family. I've...
- It's time again for arfie's "small bytes and long chews." (((((Hugs)))))You were missed, arfie. Glad you're back.Muji
- I posted at the end of the thread where I asked for help for supporting my student whose daughter went to court against her rapist on Monday. I wanted to be sure to post thanks again in this separate thread because I think our calls for help...
- I posted this weekend about how things in my own life were calm lately, feeling too calm, really. I think I found out what the cosmos had in store with that. I was meant to be calm to help someone else, maybe. But it's a big job and I can't do it...
- I'm in an odd place right now. A bizarre, different one, and it's hard to talk about it to other people because no one "should" feel this way, but I do. It makes me ashamed to come here and tell about it.I hope it doesn't make you all angry with...
- I just heard a song that really spoke for me and the childhood events that led me here. Even though I'm a guy. Seems we talk about this to each other a lot, even down to the questions asked about PTSD and healing, like "can the damage be...
- I made it through another one of my 12 hour work days, teaching from 9am to 9m with only an hour lunch and an hour dinner break. Whew! But it was a good class. In my night class I just had a guest speaker who is an Iraq veteran come in and speak...
- I posted this under the hey, veterans thread today, but after reading it there I noticed I mentioned how helpful it was for me to post here this past July when I revisited my war battlefields overseas for exposure therapy. It was Memorial Day...
- You did it. Your help paid off. My student who has cancer called from her hospital room this morning before she went for surgery. I got over to the hospital and intercepted, gave her flowers and reassurance. Then I hoped to find the hospital's...
- As you all know, I teach at a little community college. Yesterday an older woman who is a non-traditional student missed class. She NEVER does that, and it's a joy for me as her teacher. Her husband, a guy I've never met, came in her place.She...
- I posted yesterday that I hoped we all made it through today, Monday. Several of us had stressful days beginning the week this week, for a variety of real reasons.I made it through mine. It was tough. I got physically ill at work with my chronic...
- If you notice I've posted today much more than my usual already generous amount, yes. I'm having a day of trying to process stress built up over this difficult semester at work. I've posted about how it started with this lemon of a Distance...
