ADD, Nature and Nurture, C-PTSD
ADHD is Wolf’s primary diagnosis. We are becoming better versed with this. He is well-versed in it. I am working on it. ‘Doesn’t it make sense that Rusty has ADD given the following: her father has not been formally diagnosed with ADHD. Yet he has the same classic symptoms I have, so it is logicalContinue reading “ADD, Nature and Nurture, C-PTSD”
Clutter, Grieving and Memories

How lonely living with CPTSD can be
Until about October or November 2021, I had not met anyone else diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, in person.

At Capacity and It is OK
January 24, 2021 Dear Diary, I must recap our last few sessions. Two are our couple sessions. Two are mine and one is Wolf’s. A total of five (5). Together, they are enlightening, informative and help build healthy boundaries, for me. See, I am at my capacity. The place where ‘Enough is Enough, something mustContinue reading “At Capacity and It is OK”
Two Precipatiting Events
In the laundrymat and I have had enough of non-mask wearing people who have their mask under their chin instead of over their nose AND mouth!
