I only had one thread begun in this forum in several months...

and only used one then, and that was begun the end of APRIL! Yesterday, when I tried to begin another thread..just for me, support for me with my ptsd...trying to work through a problem.... I had to have it deleted.

I'm trying again.

This is "my" home forum, for those who don't realize it. I begged for this forum and DocJohn realized PC's need for it. To feel like I'm prevented from using it adds to my symptoms and reactions to authority related to my PTSD.

Most of you didn't need to read that, as you understand how I struggle.

No opinions please, as to why you think I'm where I'm at right now, today or even this weekend, ok?

I appreciate all of you who have sent me PMs in support. I needed them more than you know. I'm human, and need support. Thanks in advance.

Don't know what has been going on but I am still here. Hang in there as you always manage to. PTSD is something that I have difficulty admitting has a lot of power in my life.

I don't know what is going on either.

Dealing with PTSD myself, I can only tell you that you have all my support and caring while dealing with PTSD. It's a hard thing to deal with and sometime so confusing.

For others like me who trust the experts on PTSD, I suggest the National Center for PTSD http://www.ncptsd.va.gov/publication...n1/blake6.html PTSD is a complex disorder and few ppl, even doctors understand it. When someone says something minimizing it's impact, or implying you are doing something wrong in your healing, go to this site for answers of support. TC

<font color="darkblue"> I've been in error using the term "paranoia" with regards to my PTSD. I post this in support of those dealing with these aspects of PTSD.

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
When activated, the body's fight or flight response results in the digestive, immune and reproductive systems being placed on standby. It's no coincidence that people experiencing constant abuse, harassment and bullying report malfunctions related to these systems (loss of appetite, constant infections, flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome, loss of libido, impotence, etc). The body becomes awash with cortisol which in high prolonged doses is toxic to brain cells. Cortisol kills off neuroreceptors in the hippocampus, an area of the brain linked with learning and memory. The hippocampus is also the control centre for the fight or flight response, thus the ability to control the fight or flight mechanism itself becomes impaired.
