| | 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. |  | |

More and more I find myself deciding that people don't grow up, they just grow more sophisticated and tactful. |

| |  cuties? cooties ...
Cooties is when you have something that is catching or like a germ - young children often use the term - "you have cooties" and in adult meaning, you have something that is unacceptable. Like you are contagious or they don't want to touch you. |

What Cindy said. Cooties is an imaginary disease in the minds of young children. They single one person out and say that he/she has cooties, and then everyone acts like the kid with cooties has the plague. |

Yes, yes. THAT I am aware of. Just not the spelling used, as me and a few of the guys I know use it to describe cute women.... "Just saw a batch of cuties down at the Lariat! Wanna go shoot pool down there?" |
