Question:
Hey Strass…welcome and don’t worry. The emergency exit for me is taking the link of my ‘favorite places’ list on AOL. Welcome and jump right in as your able to. I think the baggage goes over there, and is all piled up in the corner. We drop it a bit and then pick up a bit less when we go =) I’m reassured by one of our kitties. Thanks to our jerk neighbor I need to go through that "federal thing that says you medically need a pet" so he won’t bitch and moan. I have a little flamepoint siamese that is mostly blind and he is, as we call him, "the lump" because he’s always on our leg, ankle or lap. He purrs at the drop of a hat and is like most male cats, a slut for attention =) Kristine The unexamined life is not worth living – Socrates

You are very welcome here, Strass !!! I’m amused and your candor expressed the sort of everyone’s fragile issues, awesome to find out your sensitive regards to coPTSD survivors. Speaking from my experience only, i based on or rely as how to relate someones topic, free as a fly like…always taking risk, though i might have offended delicate feelings, yeah i agree with you for afraid of hurting wounded souls like you and i…can relate suffering in different avenues but at times we’re only humans capable of displeasing posters…although for *me* sakes, i take it as valuable lessons risking my own inner–self worth through letting out my old worn out *pandora’s–l___l–box*_metaphor for my condition…therefore by sharing my weak points or dilemmas, alleviate the pain as i used to putting the dark–packaged deal aside for quite a long time…gotten tired of numbing the emotions–in my face chaos scenarios, affirmed good riddance that i’ve been through kinds of tumultuous…yeah, it’s unbearable cruises that i was able, reach my final destination!!! I learned how to cope and practice survival skills that i’d picked from co-posters…got to take my own med as everyone does work for him/her, heals each tormented–adult/chld within us~*~+~((*)) i’m the type of character willing to be critized__ cause i need to and must for i’ve been aware and accept my short_comings!!! the reasons we reached out and touched someone, empathy onto others help me recognized my own needs and finding out my purpose here, had given the *chance*, opportunity to survive and someday to realized my goal–road to *recovery*, hope i’d shut my over focused conscious mind…but hey, you motivate me co~sufferers!!! LOL ~*~*~*~ cherish every moment~take care<*>precious leah y.
