- I've grown in becoming diplomatic but assertive since joining DS PTSD. I've found people here to be more brave and honest with themselves than any group I've ever had the good luck to dialogue with.I'm learning there's a third option other than...
- This morning I got so disrespected by an adult student in a class I teach at a community college I just felt humiliated and like quitting. In front of a whole classroom of students, and the adult student didnt just disrespect me directly once, but...
- I've posted here over the last 3 months about the lemon Distance Learning machine my community college bought. Its constant breaking down has disrupted classes in the extreme. Last night I spent hours making a Powerpoint lecture of my own to try...
- Lou Reed was a hero of mine in the music world. He was most famous for the hit song "Walk on the Wild Side." But when he was older he recorded an album upon the death of his best friend, Delmore Schwartz.It's called Magic and Loss. It really...
- My college students ask my in the religion classes I teach what my thoughts are of the afterlife. I say, frankly, I really don't care about streets of gold or pearly gates or 64 virgins or bliss or nirvana or floating around on clouds playing...
- My college bosses are not fixing the lemon Distance Learning system they bought. It shuts down during classes and won't turn back on, won't show full pictures, so top half of powerpoints for lectures don't show. Sounds cuts off. Picture shrinks...
- Something I revealed in m y Death and Dying class at the college tonight. We had the father of a child who died speak in class of when his infant daughter died. Very moving and good presentation, so I added my own experience after he shared his. ...
- Just wanted to say how much I love this site. We've had some amazing interactions here for some time now. I've learned so much this night alone, and it's one of many. Thank you, everybody. We're all so different, and have been so hurt, and yet...
- I've belonged to some great face to face support groups since I was finally diagnosed with PTSD in 1995 after 10 years of misdiagnosis and mismedication. But never have I been so lucky as to be among supportive peers with PTSD who have complex PTSD...
- I already feel more at peace just asking you for support and asking my boss for support with this student who is a veteran and may have untreated PTSD. It makes me wonder: Why is it so hard for those of us in PTSD recovery to ask for support? I'm...
- Wow, its interesting having PTSD and finding yourself teaching college nstudents with PTSD, both those who are in PTSD recovery and those who are not in PTSD recovery. And when they surface to you ON THE SAME DAY. HELP!1. First the rewarding...
- The Distance Learning system still breaks down in the middle of class. So thats not the good news. What a lemon that $750,000 machine is.The good news, though, is the class that I heard last week was being cancelled for low enrollment is being...
- Here's the bad news. The community college enrollment where I work is already low just from people leaving our area to look for jobs. Then this goldurned Distance Learning TV system we bought over the summer's been a lemon, and students are...
- With last week's drama about enrollment dropping to the point I may lose my contract at my community college, I thought it better not to have a restful getaway I'd planned to take during my fall break today and tomorrow.I got 3 job applications done...
- Weird coincidence. I went to the movies and saw the film "Gravity" just now. To get my mind off the current brouhaha at work at the college with my job in jeopardy due to a drop in enrollment as a new system for distance learning has gone bad. ...
