| | 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. |  | |

He's not doing that anymore though Jods, now he buys all the ingredients for a homemade pizza, and Jacob and I make it, though he helps with the most important parts, like onions obviously.  |

Jim,
A smart man knows when's he's outmanned and outgunned...especially when it's a lot of females doing it. Nice to know you're a smart man.

Argh... smart man, knows when to retreat. I am still learning, though certainly do know when to typically run nowadays. You still have far more experience on your side than I yet Jim.... yet I dare say another decade or two from me, and I will run sooner myself. |

Glad to read you are still learning as improvement is good . Keep the runners on and quit (start running) sooner rather than later and we'll be just fine and dandy.  |

Well it seems my thread has gone completely off topic whilst I was away! However, thank you all for doing so, this is one time where I have truly appreciated it. It quite cheered me to read!
I will now bring it back on topic. I had a wonderful 48 hours in the city with my sister. It truly was what the doctor ordered, as Jim stated. I feel refreshed and able to tackle my grief once more. My sister is now here visiting, which is lovely as we are very close and everyone adores her. I will be returning to the therapist this week to discuss treatment options. It is likely I will have to wait some time for a therapist, as there is a shortage of them here. Fortunately I have started a private diary which is helping me to deal with issues I do not feel comfortable sharing publicly. Much thanks to you Anthony for your assistance! I will keep you all updated.

Glad to hear you are feeling better Kathy and that you are getting some help whilst you await therapy.
From speaking with Evie I understand your sister is delightful and fun person so her staying can only be good for all. |

Kathy glad you are feeling a bit more positive. Its nice to have a sister that you are close to as she would be someone you could confide in?
I have two close sisters who I know will always be there for me the only problem is they live a long way away! |

I'm glad you are feeling recharged Kathy, it's amazing what a few days away can do to help lift your spirits.
Hope you have a great time with your sister! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
