How Did You Meet Your Closest Friends?

Hi all, On a German forum I have come across a creative web "game" that is called "Elfchen". "Elfchen" is German and can either mean "little elf" or "little eleven". In this case, an "Elfchen" is a poem of exactly eleven words (so: a "Little Eleven" ). The first line consists of one word only, the second line of two words only, the third line of three words only, the fourth line of four words only and the fifth line of one word only. Here is an example: Sky (first line = one word)... Eleven Words - One Poem: Elfchen

Mini Vacation

This relates to pain that occurred almost two years ago, but I have been doing extensive research and have found that women who have been sexually assaulted experienced delayed hip/sciatic/back pain. I had this. Of course, no doctor or specialist at the time knew of the 4 year long trauma I underwent. My pain, thank God, is now gone. I am able to walk again as I was disabled for almost half a year. No medications, steroid injections could mollify the pain and specialists could find nothing...

Childhood Sexual Abuse Survivor With Did

What Type Of Partner

Apologies in advance; I ve been a lurker among these posts and don t like to talk publicly about my problems (I leave this for my therapy sessions). But all my PTSD friends posts have always been helpful to me.

Been Emotionally Numb For 4 Years Now

I have a question about stalking. My best friend is obsessed with a man she met at Starbucks. He works there and she goes there every single day to "study". She asked me if she is stalking him.

My Thoughts Are Out Of Control

I understand some people are lonely out there, and so they post just for the sake of posting. But do you ever get fed up with people that won t help themselves?? They always ask for advice and don t follow it. You are doing your best to be helpful and they don t get it, or don t try. Does it drive you nuts, tic your ptsd? Do you get at wits end, frustrated, annoyed?? Is it just me?
