    I have noticed no one had said anything as of yet, and wanted to be the first to say- Nice!

    I completely understand what you are saying with that picture (check out my pic's).

    Good Luck

    I read your words that could have been written with my own pen. I feel like I have led

    the past 18 years in a fog just mainly trying to hold onto my sanity. That might be the hardest part. Your art is brilliant. You are extremely talented.

    hi kat,

    i related to this the minute that i read it. i have ptsd , along with depression and chronic pain. when i was working prior to my last back operation, i could keep concentrated on other things but now that i am home and forced to be less active i find my mind wondering. mine is mainly from my alcholic father who was very verbally abusive. i was afraid of men for a long time and serious lack of trust issues. my husband has been the best thing has happenned to me. i paint, and make jewelry when i feel up to it.

    i find that attending the local chronic pain patient support group to be beneficial, there are others who can connect with me and we can talk and support each other.

    i hope you can find some support. family and friends are great but i don't like to keep moaning and groaning to them all the time.
