I had a bit of road rage today. Didn't do anything stupid, of course, just dropped the F bomb a lot, which my daughter noticed. Apparently, I'm the only one on the road who knows how to freaking drive! My aggression meter is maxed out. I've been losing my temper a lot lately.
Apparently, not dealing with PTSD has some serious repercussions, mentally and physically, of which I'm dealing with right now. I'm still operating in survival mode as if I was still living in the toxic, abusive environment with my ex. I had therapy for PTSD for my first abusive marriage, I've just never dealt with it from this past marriage.
Once I deal with it, my body will stop operating in survival mode, waiting for the next bomb to drop. Then things can play out naturally and return to normal. I'm looking forward to my appointment with my psychiatrist this afternoon.
I am thinking of leaving CS. I have begun looking for another site, but I don't think I want to do this online thing anymore. Maybe it's just time to call it quits. I'm not getting as much enjoyment out of the forums and I'm hesitant to post to my blog now because of some nasty comments I get.
Except for that, I've enjoyed my time here. Willow

Hi gorgeous The people that come on here just to insult and generally upset people are only being fed by those decent people that let it upset them. You will more than likely find these people are so insignificant, so pathetic in real life, achieved nothing and the only audience they have are the people on the internet. Speak to who you wish to, laugh with who you wish to, and ignore the sad cases.

I'm not sure if this is a healthy environment for me. This site usually raises my blood pressure.

Hiya Willow I think the above posted comments says it all Willow
Try taking a break, it does help like others are saying here. You have too much courage to let all this bother you enuf to leave. Would not like to see you go..
Hang in there....I learned to compartmentalize everything..

Hopefully I will learn some useful coping skills instead of my usual, ignore and avoid. Unfortunately for me, I'm a delicate little flower who cares too much about what people think of me.

willow,,
It's sad to read you,, i think managing the ambiance in the forums is just an additional punch to you mood. I can understand you , sometimes we're just too eager to post, and if those posters weren't able to read what you have shared about your situation/past,, they just can't be considerate/sympha enough.
Such as this in the forums as what i've seen, there's somewhat of a struggle between who's right, who's less right,, if it doesn't do you any good at all, then it's only you who could decide everything,, but i think don't just take it seriously at times, if you have some spare time,, forums are good hang-outs,, just like that,, nothing more,, and i enjoy your OP ,,

I will be the first to admit, I take things way too seriously. I would like that to stop.

I also learned how to 'detach'....from online stuff
soooo....just hang in Willow
Some days I don't even turn on my computer..give myself the gift..

That was me before willow,, because personally i'm of a bit of a serious one, had even heated arguments with some,, but it's a forum, we have to stand by our opinions and not just accept anything, just i see to it that i will never be in an insulting manner ,,but i love to crack jokes too, what would the world be if we are all in permanent approval.

Willow.. Don't leave.. There are no other sites that compare.. Asfor "nasty people" If you are Brave enuf to start a thread or blog.. There will always be feathers ruffled!! Trust me I know!! specialy if English is not your first language and you "word things wrong"!!.. But MOST of the people here are amazing and always ready to listen.. So stay
Hiya Willow I could be wrong but I think you might be a sensitive and there's a few of us around who are like this...I'm no exception and struggle with this constantly. We can only try to find coping skills to deal with these things that challenge us and when it becomes overwhelming, it's time to simply take a break, gather thoughts and give it hell again later.
