What did you accomplish today?

[Singlemalt]

I set up an appointment for my wife to see a therapist for her growing PTSD. She had a bit of a breakdown this weekend and I have no idea how to help since I've never been through what she's dealing with.

Due to the robbery and exacerbated by the upcoming court trial?

damn dude, didn't know.....hope they can help you out.......

 

[420God]

Sorry to hear that, hope they can help her.

I'm sure she'll be fine, she just needs someone to talk to that somewhat understands how she's feeling.

 

[420God]

Due to the robbery and exacerbated by the upcoming court trial?

Yeah, it's really getting to her now.

I dont know and cant advise. My philosophy of stuff it down, find a distraction and obsess over that instead is not healthy. Hope she and you find relief.

 

[BudmanTX]

Does she get anxiety prior???

 

[Singlemalt]

Yeah, it's really getting to her now.

Yeah, it's hard. I know it sounds trite, but continue you to let her know you're always there for her. I believe you said her current job has a lot of family? Talk to the males, let them know to keep an extra eye on her. You know what I mean.

Does she get anxiety prior???

Prior to a breakdown? Not sure. Before this happened she was the happiest, most laid back person you'd ever met. It's like the robbery stole part of her soul.

yes prior to a breakdown.......it's possible that happened, sometime trumatic things will be a trigger for a person.....of course like someone said it also could be cause of court coming up, that could triggering it...

She needs EMDR therapy. Find a psychologist close by that does that.

2nd and 3rd best things in life are a good cigar and a shot of whiskey.....

I was young and new to the military and got to be friends with a Sgt that invited me to hang out on Sundays. He was in a cigar club. We would drink and smoke cigars.

Landrace sativas i would assume. I love seeing how big they can get. I had a bahia blackhead pheno few years back that took a million years to flower. Or, at least it felt like it haha. Had a very hashy scent. And trichomes like no other. Would be good for making wax i suppose.

Dont let landraces fool you. I've seen pure indicas handle 100+ and keep a trucking. Ive also seen equatorial sativas handle multiple hard frost in the 20's.

Yes, but do you need that much schwag?

When it comes to schwag you takes what you gets and are thankful.

Idk what the counselor she's gonna see specializes in but she's the closest we were referred to for victim therapy. This first session is just an evaluation and she'll either be seen there or sent to someone else. We're very limited here without having to drive over an hour.

Drive over an hour if you have to. I've heard nothing good things about EMDR.

Not today, but Friday I sold my 15 year old 150k mile Ford 1 ton truck for 10k.

I'm pretty jacked.

10k for a 2004 f350? Was it a 6.0?

She should be evaluating the therapist as well. Opening up about deeply personal issues to a stranger is difficult and it will take time for her to build that trust. Don't settle for for a therapist or doctor that she's not 100% comfortable with, it's not the same as choosing a GP.

I miss my 1990 probe. That fkr was heavy but it had some scoot behind it. Blew out the tranny after 200k miles.

SH420

That car saved my life and sacrificed her turbo to do it. I have the GT and she can move. Recently replaced her engine. Over all she's had a couple turbos, more than one top end, a clutch and new bushings in her linkage. Now her smog equipment is giving us fits, sigh. Had to fix her roll over valve and vent valve and are now looking at her fuel damping valve.

It's time to see the smog referee and get a waiver for her, poor dear.

sitting here going through some of the Isle of Man race......these fucks are fast, make me wonder where they put they're balls first before hoping on one of those bikes...

That stuff is no fun!
It's like having somebody you don't like living in your head.

I hope she works through it.
