Living on Social Security sucks. But my ex spent all our retirement and before SS started last month, he paid me support. This month he took me to court to stop support. You can't live in Calif on $900/month. My attorney (and several others) said...
Legal system makes it worse

When will it end?? It seems as if I can go a week or so before some trigger sets me off again. This time I got served with court papers because my ex is stopping support. It is my only source of income. Even though I have letters from 2...

Is there a group that helps people adjust to their own death? I am talking about people who have an illness and still feel ok, but have been given a time limit on how long they probably have to live. It is difficult to adjust to living by a clock.
OLD????? Is that a medical problem??

I didn't age gracefully or slowly. I suddenly realized I was OLD when I turned 65 (66 now). I had my first visit to a hospital, for surgery. I had panic attacks and hallucinated all night. Since then I have had several more hospital stays, all for...

Haven't posted for awhile

I finally accept, not happily, that I am not going to get any better. I have worked several years at it and realize 'normal' is a thing of the past.I had surgery last month for the first time (i'm 65) and hallucinated for 3 days. I was an RN so it...

Do the holidays make your PTSD sytmptoms worse? They do me. I don't feel anything except that I want to hide. Holidays are not special and they don't make me happy. They bring back memories of happier days and make me feel depressed because I will...
OMG...the holidays are coming!

I hate that my PTSD wastes so much of my time.Yesterday I decided to drive (a big trigger but I can't give up trying) to my brother's house. I moved just a few months ago so am not familiar with the area. Anyway, he lives where I lived most of my...
