You HAVE no trauma. We do…when you are here. You re-traumatize us everytime you post here, you no-good slimy, scummy witch.

Glad to have you here. take care, Renee
Response:
umm… Lu? if you need to, could you please call her something other than a witch? You may not understand, but some practitioners of earth religions call themselves witches, and I don’t like it used as a curse word or a negative remark. Please don’t flame me for this request for respect. I would have sent this privately, but didn’t know if I could. take care, Renee LuanneP <luan…@aol.comet> wrote in message

Oh for CRYING out loud……I KNOW that there is a difference in the types of ‘witches’ that exist and the term that I used and you know DAMN well that I mean NOTHING against practicing WICCANS or WITCHES. You’re trying to make a mountain out of a molehill here and start more shit…typical Renee. I will NOT change my behavior patterns for you.

I’m sorry for your ‘double whammy’ of PTSD and a physical disorder as well. I’m sure that you are limited as to what kind of medicine that you can take because of your heart condition also. Is that any type of surgery that could help your heart condition? I feel so bad for you….but, in a way, I too, look forward to the day when I get out of this pain too. Best, Luanne

Go correspond with him now, and get the F*CK out of here. You are unwelcome and unwanted. Lu

Hello everyone. I am relatively new at this, although I have posted before. I prefer to remain semi-anonymous (if that’s possible). I have severe and chronic combat-related PTSD. I don’t profess to be an expert on any thing. All I know is how this thing affects me and those around me. What I could add to the group may not even be significant. Hell, you may not even want me, if any of you are familiar with my postings at soc.veterans. (I can get paranoid) I will try not to ruffle feathers and stay away from controversy. If I do either, please set me straight. Just a little background: I served in Vietnam as a medical corpsman. Most of my trauma involved wounded and dying people (babies included). And lots of guilt for surviving when others didn’t. Adding to the trauma was the seemingly indifferent attitudes I encountered upon coming home (?). For years and years I have kept it all inside, never telling a soul, for fear of being called weak, or a crybaby. I developed a method of dealing with the crap inside by diverting, or avoiding, the feelings associated with the trauma. I became good at it. So much so that I totally retreated from the outside world; only venturing out when totally necessary. I literally stay "bunkered up". Therapy only helps in that it keeps me alive. I can’t think of a medication that I haven’t tried. Knowing it is counter-indicated; I still self- medicate (pot mostly). The last thing I want or need is someone who doesn’t know the first thing about PTSD to tell me to pull myself together and get over it. The only thing I’ll ever get over is life (when it is done). In addition to my PTSD, which has been rated total and permanent by the VA; I suffer a terminal form of heart-disease. I’m already on borrowed time. But don’t feel sorry for me. I look forward to the day I can finally go home. "Why can’t we all get along?" -Rodney King-

Hi Al, You sound like a nice person who is resigned to accepting life for what it is. I once corresponded with a young guy who served in Bosnia. Actually all he did was fly the wounded to hospitals and he had PTSD from that short period of service. Just knowing that young children were dying at the back of the plane he was piloting was enough to disturb him. It’s amazing when you finally start taking about something that is bothering you, how many people actually relate to what you’re saying and come out of hiding to share their experiences. Although the Trauma you experienced will always be with you, it’s at least comforting to know that you’re not alone. I find comfort in that. The more I read these posts from people, the more I realize how Trauma shapes our lives and shapes our interactions with one another. Everyone in the end is affected by your experiences in significant and small ways we share everything. . Take care. Stephanie – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Hello everyone.
