I have to hae a lay person testify at my SSD hearing. I had to call my old "friend' in Seattle, only 'friend' I have left. Actually, I haven't called her yet, sent her an e-mail. She said she'd do it, of course, she has Fibro also.

But can't talk to her about the PTSD.......tried to once, after my 2nd attempt, and she just said, 'darling, don't live in the past.' My T says she's from Romania and they are just like they, they lived through the wars and don't believe in looking back.

But I just feel sick thinking about calling her. I don't trust anyone talking about the PTSD. I'm so sick of being 'put down' told to 'get over it, ' etc. etc. Makes me feel like such a loser...........

Dont' they realize when your 'f*cked in your mouth when your three, beaten, surrounded by violence, that this does something to your brain? Why can't people just get that?

More injustice...........I'll get through it. She's well meaning and a safe person, never betrayed me or treated me bad (yet). I just hate it though.
