I hope there are no conservative christians here... I did not have any traumatic incidents involving bananas while I was growing up.

I did CPSTD standing on my head, talk to me if you want answers, I cured mine without medication, practically by myself.

[Tristeza]

Thanks.  Yeah, I'm not on any drugs either.  There's no magic pill for CPTSD.  Just have to own it and deal.

[Sophgay]

You pwn that motherufcker, Tristeza!

[Sophgay]

I want magical pills

What do you think of kangaroos? I seem to recall you had an interest in kangaroos?

[Tristeza]

Yeah, I used to like kangaroos, too.  I liked some really fucked-up animals.    I can't remember which comedian it was who talked about how Australian animals are proof that God did some heavy drugs.  I think it was George Carlin?

[Sophgay]

I have no idea

Yeah they are funny lol

I love how they bounce around, it always makes me laugh when I see them on tv

[Tristeza]

There was some cartoon when I was little that was so funny.  Some cat kept thinking a baby kangaroo was a mouse, and he kept trying to catch him.  The kangaroo would always kick his ass.   

[duncvis]

it was a Tom and Jerry episode.

[Sophgay]

I like Tom and Jerry

flo, the only condition of yours you've ever cured was your sanity. 



tom and jerry = YAY!

Thanks so much for that very favorable diagnosis. 

The PTSD was caused both by a dangerous home life when I was growing up, and by some pretty severe bullying by boys at school.  I really can't explain it any further or better than that.  It's not a secret, just complicated to explain.  I've been receiving some serious counseling for it, and I'm getting a lot better.  My counselor says that my AS probably saved me.  Without my particular "wiring," I would probably not have made it out of my teens.

I agree, having AS is the reason I made it this far in my life.

I loved that one.

Actually, I read about a trial using propranolol for PTSD that had a single incident that triggered it, I think. 

It made the person hyperfocus less on the traumatic incident that caused the PTSD.

This is not the article that I saw, but it has some more information about it:
