:lol: I'm bored enough to started to clean the whole house at 3AM!!

Then everyone's awake by the time I was done, and they went away.

Now I'm home alone with nothing to do... :lol: I'm so lax, I could've violated so many 'rules' on a whim of boredom. :skull: So bored that I would've rather work all day, with overtimes disregarding whatever pay.

Or walk in a cold breeze in my lazy wear, or do some laundries all over again, or perhaps find a hammer and a screw driver to mess with some things.

And I don't have the real mood to rest or go to sleep. :lol:

PTSD is defined as a prolonged reaction to a threat of death or grave physical harm or actual harm or witnessing such death or harm. i agree that some emotional traumas can be as severe, but it may be difficult to find a therapist to treat emotional trauma with EMDR.

I speak from personal experience! After 30 years of worthless therapy after a dreadful childhood, somebody did EMDR. When I got home, my sister took one look at me and knew something good had happened. It works; I make progress every time.

See below my website PTSDinfo? Please look in there - there's info about emdr and links to real sessions.

Why does it work? Because the mind heals itself, if we can leave it alone to do so. It's the same that the body does - it will heal itself if we don't prevent it - like walking on a broken foot, for example. Your mind must tremendously busy all the time with terrible things - that's why it can't heal itself.

I have my sanity back. I like people now. I laugh. Please please try!

Actually, PTSD is well documented to exist as a reaction to bullying, which is an existential threat, since it can threaten housing, employment, social acceptance, etc. and loss of any or all of these can be life threatening. People commit suicide in response to bullying, all too often. Adults, as well as children.

The first link below is to a review and metaanalysis on this topic.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a ... 8915000026

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3287974/

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/so ... adult-ptsd

the most reliable source you link (NIH) goes with the physical nature of the trauma.


That particular article is exclusively focused on school bullying, which has a large physical component. The focus there is on children, and children resort to violence more readily than adults, because there are fewer social consequences for them when doing so.

In domestic violence, there is also a huge psychological component, often including prolonged "grooming" of the battered spouse before any physical violence occurs, and sadly there are still limited social/legal consequences for spousal battery, even today.

In the psychological trauma that occurs in workplace bullying and most adult social aggression, the physical dimension is drastically reduced - by adulthood, in workplaces, the *more sophisticated* bullies find other MOs. The existential threat to the target is not reduced at all by this shift - generally it's heightened because the consequences to the target are potentially so drastic.

If the intent of your posts is to deny the reality of psychological injury and the severity of damage resulting from same, which is what I am perceiving as their fundamental intent, then we are in profound, likely permanent disagreement. It happens; life goes on.


if you read my previous posts, you will see that i don't discount emotional trauma. it just doesn't fit the criteria for ptsd.


I never thought about ptsd until I read what you all said here. I looked it up and it does seem to have some of what I'm experiencing. Its bad because you can't get away from the people who did it. I'm trying to avoid everyone and I'm showing hatred towards everyone I see. A week after it happened, Mary had thought about killing herself and I got mad at her for even thinking that - those people weren't worth it. And now last week, I was thinking that Mary might have had the right idea. I would never do it, but all you want to do is go to sleep and never wake up. Nothing good has happened this year and what these people did to us was just too much and I've come to the realization that I may never get over what happened. I have no faith in people anymore. I don't want or need anyone or trust anyone. I'm just dead inside.

Explosions, lights on the dark clear skies, more noise, that cake made out of graham biscuits, and the cold breeze.

Happy New Year. :twisted:

Nah, more like threatened to be removed if said jeepneys did not modernized themselves or turn into something more environmentally friendly. :|
That's the whole point though -- the environmentally friendly part.

Granted. Very likely. Vehicles maintenances are expensive within the majority of the economic classes here, let alone upgrades and more so if it involves something entirely new.
Then there's already problems with too many tricycles and motorcycle, and the highways' daily traffic. :lol:

Tricycles. :|
I don't live on an open and distantly sectioned parts of the city that is far away from the main establishments. I only the have the need to use jeepneys on when going home late because from where I work, there's one few blocks away and it could let me stop on a certain part of the route right at one of my village's entrances.
And it's as trice as cheaper than going home with a tricycle. :lol:
If I have the time, I'd walk.

Sorry to jump into this conversation...

I disagree. I think that emotional trauma, or trauma of any kind, can fit ptsd. However, the phrase itself, post-traumatic-stress-disorder, implies that having understandable reactions to stress and trauma is abnormal, just in the word 'disorder'. I prefer the term ptsr--post traumatic stress reaction.

Yes, emotional torment has the same potential to cause ptsd as anything else does.

I've experienced a lot of trauma through out my life. I'd like to think that I'm functioning fairly well.

Been working on a new website for a while and just released it into the wild today. Now nervously waiting for Google etc. to pick it up.

you and i don't pick the criteria. psychiatrists already have. when i was banned from practicing medicine, that was most of my life stolen, but i can't officially call the results ptsd or ptsr.
