- My kidney specialist is trying to track down the source of some internal bleeding that's weakening me along with my chronic kidney disease. I'm starting to have benign medical procedures that, benign though they may be, are invasive. The one last...
- Lately I've been going to sleep fine, but waking up in the middle of the night and finding it hard to get back to sleep again. Like now. It's 2am. I went to sleep at 10:30pm, but then, bingo, wide awake now. Anybody else have this happening to...
- This week's Time magazine's cover is called "The Gunfighters." It's about gun control advocates. Wherever one comes down on the issue, though, it's interesting from a PTSD perspective. There's an article that describes in accurate clinical detail...
- Hi, all,I've had PTSD so long I was on meds to the point that I've got permanent kidney damage. It settled down in the last year and I could work and do most things, thankfully. But every 3 months I have to have a comprehensive checkup by a...
- Some posts as of late have been discussing boundary issues, and how hard they are to figure out following domestic conflicts that cause PTSD. I found this on another site. It's from the Anxiety & Phobia Workbook by the author listed at the end. ...
- I teach school, and I know others here do, too, plus others here go to school. This week we go back to school where I live. I just wanted to offer good vibes, wishes, solidarity, and prayers to one and all and stand willing to accept them, too. ...
- It's been forever since I proposed a new topic, so here goes. It really sucks to have PTSD, and I've had it from surviving childhood sexual, domestic, and combat trauma all three for 4 decades of my life how. In and out of the hospital for it...
- As we start a New Year, happy New Year to those who come into it in joy at this time. That happens to be me this year, and I'm mindful of the blessing that it is and very grateful for that blessing. To those suffering at this time, as I have also...

- With holiday time on my hands & prepping for my Christmas day trip, I came across the tips for managing flashbacks that I got here a while ago. Kind of like the grounding tools. Thought given what people have been bringing up here lately it...
- A repeated complaint we lodge here, myself included, is how often people don't seem to get us when we talk about what we've been through. So I thought I'd post a little evidence to the contrary that has come to me in song through my car stereo this...
- Is it too early to start a thread on sharing ideas to deal with the holidays? I've read here that others, like me, were actually abused at Christmas. The holiday itself, then, can be something to struggle with. Also, I'm really, really grateful...
- Actually, the drug itself is not new, and it's recreational use has been known to be dangerous: ecstasy, so words of caution are in order. I saw the article today and wanted to post the actual news story to prevent rumors.We are not mental health...
- Being here a few months has already changed me. For the better, too. I'm more forgiving of myself for the traumas I've been through. I don't feel like such a freak any more, because so many of us share the fact of surviving trauma. It's...
- I spent Thanksgiving alone last year due to agoraphobia from PTSD, my choice. This year I'm choosing to step out for T-Day with friends, progress because it shows I have options. I wanted to send my best out to everybody for Thanksgiving, as often...
