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.

Thanks Clalisparrow,

I like the way you write. I like your expressions.

BTW my name on here is really 'spiritofnow' I sign off as spirt x <-(a kiss) because it is shorter.

You have renamed me, eh? ha ha

Spirit x (kiss)

Media - ugh! I rarely watch the news. I avoid newspapers with any discussion of child abuse or molestation. I cut out drama between people when possible.

As you referred to, I control the switch. I always have my guard up for a story that may trigger me. If conversations go in a direction in a group that I feel are sensitive areas I circulate to another place. I also avoid certian activities that will lead to secondary wounding - such as baby showers and wedding showers. Maybe it's avoidance and denial but it works for me.
