| | 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. |  | |

| | Anne Sexton grew up right near me...(but at a different time, of course). I love her poem "Starry, Starry Night." Did you know there's a song of it as well?
Oh, and I am very grateful to artists (of various genres) who create beautiful works of art that help me connect to my fellow human beings :-)
And today I'm grateful that it's Friday...TGIF!!! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
