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.

Wow! What a great response!!

I thought I was the only one who was a "whiner" (according to Dr. Laura).

Let's bash her a little more

In essence though-it saddens me to think that this total moron has a following of "sane" people judging me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very scary, and keeps me "in the closet".

Well, today my long-term memory is serving up something comic!

Six years ago, a couple of months after my mother died, my father and older brother wanted to talk to me. They were convinced that I was bonkers; they wondered if I should be in a psych ward. They seemed to forget that we all had an immediate family member who had just died.

At one point in the conversation, my older brother, with hands clasped on the table and an earnest grimace on his face, declared,

"Well, Dr. Laura says..."

I blasted him. Pummelled him with a stream of invective that actually shut him up for a minute!

Sometimes, memories are a delight...

Good for you Roo! Those kind of memories are always sweet!

Wendy, we need a new TV, but if I watch "Dr." Laura on Larry King-we might need it a lot sooner after I throw something at it!!

I also wouldn't want my husband to listen to her crap and think it is right!

Then I would be on "Judge" Judy for killing my husband!!lol

How ironic!!!!

"Judge" Judy was on Regis & Kelly this morning. I was on my way out, so I didn't have a chance to hear what SHE was selling!

What is it with these people!!!

I mentioned "Dr" Laura to my T today-he just smiled....maybe because I called her such a nutcase.

I really think that people who spew hatred like that are just trying to make themselves feel better about something. Like most bullies the only way to do that is to put someone else down...

I would dearly love to be able to "just get over it". Frankly that sounds like heaven. Not quite sure how to make that happen though. Mostly I consider myself to be doing fairly well...I have a full time job, I get out of the house pretty often (as apposed to a couple of years ago when I rarely ever got out), I have friends and make new ones, and the panic attacks, headaches and nightmares rarely happen anymore. I still have quite a ways to go but I have worked hard and made huge amounts of progress. I really resent someone who makes light of the amount of work we have all put in just to be able to face the world and ourselves everyday.

Dr Laura should stop whining and just get over it.

Jet

Dr. Laura gets the "Dr." title because she has a PhD in Physiology (this is what it says on Wikipedia, though I once heard it was in English Lit). In any case, she does not have a PhD in Psychology, or an MD. In my opinion this is a misuse of the term Dr.

I'm currently doing a PhD and I would never use the title where people might mistake me for a cardiologist, psychiatrist or GP. I think this she is deliberately mileading the public. Unless you feel she's better qualified to give you personal advice and counsel based on her ability to carry out extended graduate research in a completely unrelated field!

As for the advice, "just move on" "get over it" "let it go." I mean, duh! I have no disagreement with this, wouldn't we all love to? But HOW do you do that? It's not like I'm enjoying the process of not being over this. I do have many more enjoyable things to be doing with my life.
