- Friday was a hard day at work because enrollment continues to be so low at the college. My boss and I discussed today how I may not have a future job at the college. Half my classes are full, but the other half of my classes have 10 students or...
- The July 1, 2013 cover of TIME magazine was a story that said "service saves returning soldiers with PTSD." Apparently, helping others helps those of us with PTSD.What do you all think? I think I experienced some of that today. I had someone have...
- Ok, everybody knows I took 2 days off last month to get antibiotics for this walking pneumonia that came on fast from just a cold. My boss had been wary of my taking sick days for PTSD a couple of years ago (6 total) so I'd had a perfect record last...
- My PTSD came from molestation by a pedophile as a kid, the domestic violence I survived, and the fact that I was raised in a war on a foreign mission field by parents woefully ill-equipped for the challenge.My parents were adult children of...
- I posted in a thread about my dear old Mom, but then I realized it might be something we might share as a topic, too. Our abusers and their birthdays, anniversaries, and other holidays, and our recollections on those milestone days in the year.I...
- I love my job at my community college. I taught college before from 1983-2001, but I've only been back at it for 3 years now. A lot's changed. Like a lot of community colleges now, mine has multiple campuses. That means we teach via "distance...
- I did a foolish thing this evening. I rarely go to movies, but an older student of mine, a guy I've known at the college for 2 years, offered to see a movie at the mall. He meant well, but his movie choice was a big mistake for me.I didn't even...
- I was just reminded this morning of how simply being tired can affect mood with PTSD. It's a reason why I was misdiagnosed bipolar at first 1985-95 until a VA psychiatrist got it right in 1995, something I'm so happy about since then until now. I...
- I've noticed we're really good here as PTSD folks to acknowledge when we may come off as "weird" or even "ridiculous," words from posts among us just today. It's really great that we have that self awareness and humility and check in with each...
- My abuser sent one of his intrusive postcards at work today. He only sends postcards now because he knows I wouldn't open a letter from him. It satisfies his stubborn stalking ego to think I might seen part of his message if it's open already, as...
- I live about 2 hours from DC so I wasn't directly affected by the lockdown of the city during the tragic events yesterday in which at least 12 people died. Sadly, in the media it was reported that the perpetrator may have had PTSD from being a...
- I posted a thread last week about PTSD and taking sick days or not.Turns out, because of the support I got here, I went to the doctor. The doctor found I was developing pneumonia. Long story, butwith C-PTSD I have trouble gauging how sick I feel...
- I post daily in the PTSD support group, not here, but I hope I can ask a question for some help. I've been diagnosed with diabetes 2 since 2011 now. I follow my regimen and things seem to go generally ok.But 2 weeks ago I simply clipped my...
- i just read an article that spoke to my own experience living a lifetime of PTSD after growing up in war from age 9-15 in close urban combat in my neighborhood all those six...
- I'm having some health trouble today. Taught all day at school without missing a class, but had nausea, headaches, and even with my diabetes medication my blood sugar was doubling, then reducing by half.When I get a bug, my PTSD is triggered, too. ...
