What are you thinking right now?

Everything went better than expected...until I remembered something I had forgotten throughout the day.

But I can't deal with every piece of bullshit life throws at me right here right now. Postponed indefinitely it is then.

i asked this question to two people and they gave me the same answer. Is it possible to have PTSD regarding an incident that happened on the internet?

Why wouldn't it be possible? Just because it's online and not "real life" doesn't mean something can't impact you greatly.

Normally I would say no. But lately I've been thinking about it more...so I'll phrase it this way:

I think that certain lines would have to be crossed to make things escalate that horrendously. Not just mean comments on a website by homegrown little psychopaths. You'll always have the option of just turning the computer off and giving yourself a break there.

I'm talking about serious cyber stalking, strangers posting your private address or leaking personal info online. Sickos sending you death threats and ominous packages containing dead animals or something to your very home. Everything that completely tears down the online (safety) barrier and enters the real world and removes your anonymity.

I know there has been a story about somebody claiming to have gotten PTSD from cyber bullying that had gotten (in)famous which casts a shadow on the credibility of persons making these claims...so I'll excuse myself for being a bit biased on this case. But I think we can still decide how much we expose ourselves on the internet. Everybody who practices a "virtual striptease" of some sort turns himself or herself into an easy target...and shouldn't be surprised when people abuse that situation.

I'm with Callie on this one. It's about the impact.

Awwww...snow can be lovely! You don't get it very often, do you?

Expect the worst and you will usually not be disappointed.

Lets see what today brings at work, I look forward to it.

 

[VanillaCreme]

That I want to cook. Breakfast makes the most sense, doesn't it?

 

[TheRealCallie]

So much to do today and I don't want to do any of it. Oh well, at least the kids will be in school, so I can run around without them in tow.
Gotta finish the paperwork though....and then there's more paperwork at my parents. I hate paperwork :club:

That I want to cook. Breakfast makes the most sense, doesn't it?

Cinnamon rolls, French toast, pancakes and waffles. (Goo)

 

[Rainbows]

Feeling rather optimistic today. Hm.
Sigh. You do make my day.

 

[gabriel20]

"Why do I bother"?

I ended up making sausage gravy and toast. I really wanted to make biscuits, but I didn't feel up to it.

Seeker_2.0 is an awesome person with such a good heart. His presence, posts and positivity will be very much missed around here.

On other thoughts...... I think I will bring it over to the Diary section.

Add:
Why do some people say things they don't mean or can't do? I've always been nice.. but if you keep doing it to me, I'm gonna close up eventually. Go on, ignore me and look for me as and when you like. It doesn't bother me anymore because of how numbed I've become, but at the same time it just makes me sick and tired of putting up with how you treat me. Some day, I will just not be able to tolerate it anymore.

 

[TheRealCallie]

Next time I should worry about being able to get IN the driveway before worrying if I make it up it. Lol (yes i made it but barely.)

 

[johnny196775Again]

if we could all die at once there would be no one left to grieve. No more pain for anyone then.

But when the night is falling and you cannot find the light.If you feel your dream is dying. Hold tight. You've got the music in you. Don't let go. You've got the music in you. One dance left. This world is gonna pull through.Don't give up.You've got a reason to live. Yeah that about says it all for me.

Don't forget to call driving school.

...and if there is a God, he surely wanted to punish me with this first tangerine I ate in 6 months which turned out to contain 18 stones in total.
