Nerve damage, or in my case a combination of neuropathy and carpal tunnel. Most of the itching has gone away since I had carpal tunnel release surgery.

I think so, too. This is why it’s important to talk about non-combat PTSD. So more people get the help they need, and there’s less stigma around it.

I’m a Navy veteran with service connected PTSD. People question if I have PTSD sometimes and it does indeed piss me off, but I’m not out here claiming to have been blown up while serving. People are starting to become aware that PTSD doesn’t always stem from combat, and that awareness will help more people going forward. Mine comes from being attacked and raped by my shipmates, I didn’t expect to survive it.

I don’t feel disgust that USA Today asked him about his service, instead I wonder why he didn’t have a better response. He could have offered education about PTSD or said he wanted to increase transparency around disability ratings in the VA, or any number of things.

McChicken is the only thing I get from McDonald’s on the rare occasion I stop by in a road trip.

Gotta add pickles though

My head cannon is this is his revenge for the flying love nest she took some other guy on “work trips” in

…and seriously, why is David following me?? New job, there’s fucking David, sometimes with a mustache, sometimes with glasses, or a funny hat or something… but he’s always there.

You must have great tits wings

Those snakes sell for like $800

Thank you 💜

I’m a current MT resident, planning to leave because I can’t afford it anymore and I keep having to travel out of state for specialty medical care. And honestly, the number of times people have used slurs around me is too damn high

Not disputing that Montana is full of meth, but this happened in Minnesota

He sure did. He also famously made commercials urging evangelicals to vote against Obama because he was going to bring socialism and take away freedom. Lol

Thank you for the link!

I’m with you, gonna have to wait and see how this develops

I can’t find a trustworthy news source on this. Please help me out, I would love to share this to a few people

He asked if the guy was right-winged. Yes, he was.

He was also anti-goverment following the killings in the siege at Waco, which is why he bombed that federal building.

Timothy McVeigh did the OK city bombing, and he was a registered republican.

I think it’s because she’s under investigation for money laundering.

I had a string of relationships in my 20s as well, but I don’t think any of them were healthy and I developed my own drinking habit to cope before realizing I didn’t want that misery for myself.

Dunno if you want any advice to consider, but I’ve lived alone for most of my 30s, and I have to say having a pet really helps. I have a cat and a dog, and the dog does provide more opportunities for conversations to happen just seeing the same people on the trails we walk every day. These are usually shallow conversations so it’s easier to avoid feeling like I’ve upset anyone (it still happens lol “why did I say good morning that way??” but it’s low stakes at least). But even having a plant to take care of helps with the loneliness, because you have this living thing that occupies the same space as you, and even if you can’t leave the house today you can still share being alive and existing with this plant or creature.

Anyway, I wish you all the luck with your move and your new future

Edit: I just realized we’ve commented to each other before, I was on a different account though lol. I’m glad your move date is so close now :)

I have AvPD, and I am sure there is a genetic link, but it’s hard to separate it from my mother’s issues and treatment of me. She had schizo-affective bipolar and was an alcoholic on top of that.

I’ve found therapy to be a bit frustrating, because I am able to cope with my fears and recognize when I’m slipping into avoidance but still unable to form connections with people. I’ve been released from therapy but still don’t have any friends or relationships because I still react to other people’s unpredictable emotions with fawning and then cutting them out of my life lol

It’s a very lonely disorder

I think New Zealand is safe, because it’s never on any maps
