I did a live thing on Youtube last night after my psych appointment since my gear was setup for the appointment :)

How to be an #ally to someone dealing with #PTSD

An estimated 8 percent of the population will experience #posttraumaticstressdisorder (PTSD) in their lifetime.

I told them to go north. I don't know how I found them online, but I told them to go north.

Please tell me that I wasn't wrong. Please tell me that I sent them in the right direction.

#ptsd cure for me, anyway

An old fashioned Beach party with Joanie and Ellie Mae!!!!

Great music and good tacos. I've got queso and sand under my nails, lol

I sent the sunset photo to my #psychologist to thank her for helping me make it 1 year since I tried to unalive myself. Didn't get anything back from her 😆 like usual

This article was my pinned tweet for years and I'm not sure I've ever shared it here on #mastodon

It's called, "PTSD is not a fucking expression." and is posted on Medium with no paywall here https://medium.com/the-mission/ptsd-is-not-a-f-ing-expression-a23c43209152

Synthetic cannabis products are gross, and they are out there. If you purchase in public, please research where it is coming from. I personally like to buy from #Veteran owned brands, they know what's up, usually tell you what ingredients/strains, and have no interest in filling you with gross chemicals bc Vets already lived that life. #PTSD #Cannabis

That was just really not the way I needed rare time outside of my apartment to go. Sigh. People can change, but I guess not completely. I don’t even think my relative realized I was frightened, or that I was worried my mobility aid would break. #PTSD

So I've been ill and we take Ellie Mae to the park in the morning for #cappuccino

I like this photo, but it makes my survivor's guilt explode

Extreme weather is a cause of post-traumatic stress

"The definition of PTSD is that an extremely threatening event has been experienced by the person themselves or by someone close to them, and this event is at the center of their problems," Meyer-Lindenberg says. A typical symptom is that a disaster is relived over and over again in the form of flashbacks, dreams, and memories.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

-- Elisabeth Kübler Ross, psychiatrist and author (via Arielle Schwartz: The Complex #PTSD Workbook)

I like this advice 😆 🤣 😂 😹

#ptsd

"I'm gonna give you what you wanted, though my heart will never stop, tell you that I'm fine, even though I'm not. You're gonna know for the rest of your life this is true, I'm never getting over you......."

"I can't stop you from leaving, and you can't stop me from loving you...."

"I'm never getting over you...."

#PTSD #Tired

#therapy #selfcare #bipolar #ptsd so a big thing I am working on is trying to redirect my ptsd hypervigilance from it's normal RSD-based anxious ruminations and instead have it function as a personal hypervisor to help me monitor my own internal mental network status. Phase one was determining if it was possible and coming up with a list of what I wanted to monitor. I am very happy to announce that with much effort over the past year I have found enough success to continue this effort! 1/2

@ai6yr @BakerRL75 Toward the end of the article it says that #PTSD correlates with developing dementia later in life. There is a link to a study done on Vietnam War veterans.

It would be interesting to find out if the correlation holds for people with PTSD from other types of traumatic events, including wildfires.

#art #arttherapy #ptsd #bipolar despite decades of NOT doing it when my stress levels reach a point my brains reaction is to suggest I just kill myself. These thoughts are old and like gnats and have evolved from complex plans and fantasies when I was a teen into a highly optimized attack where i just repeatedly see an image of myself doing something terrible and the promise that it can all be over. I can't figure out how to draw that promise part. rough brain night

Poured again. VERY fresh. Made cells. Lots of them. Too many, maybe, but I'm just happy I finally made some!
