| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

thank you for that list bec, it is very helpful. I think i might just print that one up......and even show it to my boys. Its the kind of basic commonsense that is uncommon nowadays with the rash of relativism around. (ya know, the well, everything is relative sort of thinking that makes you just accept everything from everybody). They should teach this in schools!

Glad it helps.
The problem with teaching this is that many people get trust without understanding it.. The people that know this stuff, take it for granted. So those of us who have no clue what trust is, need this information to even begin figuring it out. It's the catch 22. I agree this should be taught in schools, I bet it would make a hell of a difference!

Trust is something a little different for each of us, just because we are unique, as is the person in question.

I used to be one of the most trusting people I knew. If you told me 'X', I would believe you. And unless I was given reason to not trust, I did so freely and happily. And I used to give the benefit of the doubt and be very forgiving.
Now...*sigh* now it seems like if someone tells me 'X' I stand around waiting for them to do/say something (even if it's the tiniest discrepancy) that shows they were lying or using me or whatever. And I'm finding that if I feel I was used or lied to in any way-that's it, you're done in my book. No second chance, it's over.
I don't like this. It's a 180 from how I was before and I wonder if I'm ever going to get that part of myself back again. |

I think this part of us heals with the rest of our healing. I am not the most trusting individuial yet. But I am learning to trust. I trust some people here, I am learning to trust my inlaws, I have had to learn to trust my husband. Again, I think it heals the more you do. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
