| | 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. |  | |

I am a fan of nature myself. Just a warning though, be careful of trees that have ants or spiders running up and down them. I used to bow hunt and I would get way up in a tree to avoid being detected easily by the deer. I always came across something along the way that I didn't care to be bitten by... and I'm sure that would ruin the whole experience. I know, I know... I'll stop with the public safety announcement. BTW, I no longer hunt now.
My six year old daughter is the same way all of you described your kids to be... it is too temporary of a wonderful feeling. |

Sending a shout out to all my tree-hugging peeps out there!! Haha!
I'm Wiccan, so a day with out nature is literally a day without sunshine. It really helps me get out of the black abyss.
Dandilion flowers can also be picked, washed and made into Dandilion Fritters. I used to have a recipe for Dandilion Wine, but I don't drink anymore, but I'm sure a Google search will yeild some interesting recipes! |

Lots of nature in this part of the country, Deer, elk, the odd moose, black bear, Grizly, coyote, the odd wolf, cougars, antilope, Hawks, Golden and Bald eagles and more. The cutest thing latly was a whole family of badgers in the front yard, they are like a throw rug with claws and teeth. Lota of beeries( Saskatoons and Goose beeries) Saskatoons are like blue and black beeries mixed together. |

I love the outdoors...they just don't love me back (allergies to pollen and stinging insects).
I have this park that I go to on a lake (one of the advantages of living in Winter Haven - you can't go far without hitting a lake) and I just sit there on the swinging bench and feed the ducks and feel the breeze come in off the water.
However, if there is even 1 person there when I pull up, I leave. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
