A community portal about Post-traumatic stress disorders with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Post-traumatic stress disorder is a term for certain psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences that the person experiences as highly traumatic. The experience must involve actual or threatened death, serious physical injury, or a threat to physical and/or psychological integrity. It is occasionally called post-traumatic stress reaction to emphasize that it is a routine result of traumatic experience rather than a manifestation of a pre-existing psychological weakness on the part of the patient.

Post-traumatic stress disorder

I'm trying to work out if you can get post-traumatic stress disorder from just a regular (non-emergency related) job. No idea, but if you can, I have it. The bad part is I'm not QUITE to the "post" part yet. The visit from the French exchange students is a long and sordid story and frankly one I don't have the energy to deal with yet. The kids leave Tuesday, I hope to return to their families with some happy memories and all I can say is "it's over".

Needless to say I'm tired. I have projects to get done for Widget Inc clients (oh, yeah, the one that actually pays for me to live!) and then I'm taking most of the week next week off. I have to. I have no idea how to deal with myself right now, I can't sleep, I'm not hungry, I'm obsessive.

However, yesterday afternoon I just hung out with my kids and watched "Avatar", so I plan on a ton of that this week.
