The reasons beside the crud I've dealt with here..for the move....lots of free activities going on[yeah for FREE!!]like concerts...literary speakers...local art...social protests...art museum...cheap healthy food [that my body now CRAVES!!] quiet & calmer community...More of my style of living!!!! Also they have a pottery co-op and I'm crazy about doing my own clay artsy sculpting!!!! I NEED TO GET MOVED!!!!!!!

Hi Wildfire,

I'm new here too, but not new to PTSD. Have been battling this since I was a small child. Talk about a war on terror!

I've lurked here longer than I've posted - in fact, I've only posted once - but I've learned an awful lot just from reading the posts. Not only are the people here knowledgeable, but they are also like that old, almost-worn-out pair of underwear (well, not really ) - they are very comfortable to be around. Although they may challenge us and each other, they do so out of love and concern.

Take care. I'll talk with you soon!

Kim

I think its great wildfire that your actively interested in arts and events that are giving you cause and relaxation. These are basic things that I we with PTSD need to ensure we get involved within, to keep ourselves busy, ensure we maintain social aspects and not withdraw to our own cocoons, and basically continues to feed our health. Well done.

Anthony....I ran late to my therapist's....I left home early to stop at my med. doc's and get a copy of a letter that I had used on my first go-around to try and get moved out of here....I thought it was odd that I felt a ruffness in my van's movement down the street...someone honked at me and let me know that my rear tire was flat...I then turned around and slowly made my way back to where I just recently had bought new tires for my van...It was only 1&1/2 blocks...As it turns out there was a hole in the sidewall of my tire...fortunately I had a warrenty that let me get a new tire put on...Then I was on my merry way....I was only 10 min. late as I sped there on the highway going 10-15 miles an hour over the speed limit....no cops in sight fortunately!!! So now my therapist wants me to find out if I have a given # on the waiting list & if need is considered over # on waiting list...Oh...I got a letter from my box yesterday AM....I got a letter from the manager that stated that my request for moving has been approved for Oberlin [college town I want to move to] I talked to her secretary and most likely it's the handicapped apt LIST....the mngr. had stated when I last spoke to her that she had someone on that list and that they have been waiting 2 years....I WON'T make it here for that long!!!...I've already had a death threat and then that elevater incident....and Wed. night I had to call cops as I had an immense odor of marijauna in my apt. from my next door neighbor.... I wonder if the hole in my tire was a revenge move from our building drug cartel???? STRESS!!!!!STRESS!!!!! LITTLE SLEEP!!!LOSS of APPETITE!!!! How the hell am I going keep myself from having to go to the Hospital or worse [Suicide in the midst of a state of total terror and confusion] ???? I guess that my therapist is going to write a letter now to try to get me moved ahead somehow!?!? I have to get him the info first so he knows what steps he wants to take....in an effort not for me to have to wait so long....there goes another week that I have be in this HELLHOLE!!! I don't see how I'll even make it through even to a 6-month wait if he can get me that close through his intervention!!!!....It's not going to help for me to go to a Hospital...as I would coming home to the same DANGER!!!! I know that I have a lot to give from my experiences so...It's going to be a real loss for the people I could have helped...I see my psycho doc next Wed....I am trying to hold on til then....I also feel despondent about the idea of the hospital...I should get locked because those assholes are up to their illegal activities?????? so....I can only see the other option that I mentioned earlier.... wildfirewildone

All these extra stressors are never good within our lives. I hope it all works out for you though wildfire, and things pickup for you and go in the direction you need them too for some resolution and peace within your general daily life.

OMG Kim, lol, that's pretty good!
I think that's a really nice compliment! even if I'm being referred to as underwear, rofl

[COLOR=black]Wow, was this death threat from the same neighbor???[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]Here in Canada, unfortunately the cops probably wouldn't respond to a marijuana call...[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]A lot of people smoke it, and the Doctors can even give prescriptions for it![/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]Did you say your neighbors were selling as well??[/COLOR]
That would be so uncomfortable/scary to live next to!


Take care of yourselves!
