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.

Default I Went Sledding Today and Learned to Snowboard
Today my brother-in-law called and wanted to take my daughter sledding. I drove her over to his house and asked if I could go.

We had so much fun sledding and then I decided I wanted to try to snow board. So my BIL let me use his board and I practiced. I wiped out quite a few times but didn't get hurt to bad. However, I will feel it in the morning LOL

Finally, I was able to start at the top of the hill and make it to the bottom without wiping out. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would learn to snow board.

I haven't been sledding in over 20 years. This was so great to have had this experience with my daughter. I am so happy!

I never thought I would sled again because I can't tolerate the cold. But I just decided that when I was to cold I would leave. Oddly enough my BIL was the first one to say it's time to go. I thought for sure it would be me.

Peace
Tammy

I'm glad you had fun! I'm a skiier, (and have been since I was two years old). There's nothing like that feeling of you and the mountain...I compare it to flying. I always feel so free when the wind is blowing through my hair...it makes me forget about everything else.

Well done Tammy! You are braver than me, I would never get on a snowboard though it is something my younger children and grandchildren love.

Tammy,

Just doing something fun, and that can bring back a little bit of your childhood is so fun.... I'm glad that you had a good time.

I wouldn't get on a snowboard either......I am a chicken shit, and admit to it.

I just read this and I am so happy you were able to do this....kind of made me sad because I can't do anything physical right now and if I were to do something like this and fall the wrong way I could be paralyzed. Sorry.....just a downer issue for me I guess. Be thankful for your able body....I would give anything to be able to do physical activities again.....

It seems like this could've been a success story. Good for you. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Take care, Morgan
