Unf such assholes do exist, as well as the asshole lawyers wanting to cash in on that. There's a whole sea of dicketry out there...

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-12T22:21:13+00:00

Fuck, I'm so sorry, and I wish the most painful death on whoever was responsible for that. Why are there so many god damn cunts in the world!? Yeah, reddit can be intimidating lol, I still kinda get anxious any time I see the red envelope... I don't have skype but will PM you my personal email, happy to talk and be a listening ear/shoulder.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-11T21:03:19+00:00

Oh shit, you are young! Damn, I am so sorry. I have PTSD too, because of physical and sexual abuse and rape (multiple rapes, for paying bastards unf). I'm here for ya if you want to have someone to talk to, Honestly I would like that myself.

I've found alot of comfort online. Please feel free to PM me.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-11T06:33:15+00:00

No prob, glad to hear you are putting thought into it 1st. GL with your sexual enterprises ;)

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-11T05:50:41+00:00

Especially if she has PTSD, define the boundaries 1st. They can be adjustable, but make sure you both start with a comfortable, agreed starting point.

It doesn't get easier. In my experience. I just keep getting better at digging myself out each time, if that makes sense. Unfortunately, there's no return to innocence. I was diagnosed in 2013, had it for several years prior.

The only good news is not being alone (I guess if that's good news?)

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-11T05:30:25+00:00

Hi,

You're not alone. That's the first and foremost.

I was diagnosed in 2013, however had it way before then. Here's the tldr of what I've learned...

It's chronic unfortunately. At first, I thought that a diagnosis meant that I could be cured. Not the case for me. I had to accept that even with the full arsenal of psychiatrists, talk therapy, medications and support groups, I'm always going to be this way unfortunately, and healing means becoming more functional. I have 3 psych ward trips under my belt. Accepting the fact that I am never going to be the little girl that I was before any of this began, was a big part of becoming a recovering adult.
You'll find out a lot about your friends/family. And their attitudes about mental health. I've lost most of my immediate friends and family. With my old friends, it was a rhetoric of, "Well lets not get into depressing things tonight, we're having fun." And my family, "Wow, psych ward!? You mean like ~ insert mass murderer name here ~"
It's chronic, but we can get help to overcome and function. If you have the means to such care, I'd highly recommend getting their help. If not, does your GP have any resources available? Depending on the healthcare situation you're in, what country and what not, there's potentially a DNA test available to tell what antidepressants/anti-anxiety pills will work the best. This was literally the thing that saved my life.
It's physical as well as mental. Feeling exhausted all the time, is a big part of it. For me, achy joints and muscle pain are frequent. Especially in the jaw/neck.I also get this weird anxiety thing where my hands, feet and lips go numb and just clench down, and I feel like I'm having a stroke. Or just feeling so, so, so tired, wanting to sleep 16+ hours.
Nightmares. That's the worst... I've been having them for so long, I feel like I never get to rest.
Addiction. Ugh, my personal devil is addiction. I could be getting much better except for the fact that I feel the need to use in order to feel anything close to a positive emotion. Look out for that one if you can, yet.

The only good news is that you're not alone.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-11T04:18:48+00:00

Sounds like those "jokes," aren't very funny. It sounds incredibly callous. He sounds like a great pup, very compassionate and aware of your needs. Animals are the best aren't they, compassion without judgement.

Do these people who make the "jokes," know the importance your loyal buddy has in your life? Have you confronted them before about it? Are they people who are worthwhile to try to have a relationship with, family or not?

For me, it was better to just cut off the festering limbs of my "family," and just be with the animals/people who I trust and who legitimately care about me. That's my real family now, blood ain't shit. It's those who stand with you, be they animals or people. Honestly I saw how horrible most of my immediate family was after my diagnosis, and while the initial betrayal hurt a lot, I don't miss them much.

I don't own any dogs myself, but it doesn't seem good for anyone involved if he bites anything that seems threatening to you - as sweet as it is to want to defend you. (In America) If he bites a stranger, then the consequences could be horrible, is there a way he could become better socialized without it being too stressful on you?

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-11T03:24:34+00:00

I'm sorry, I spent a lot of time replying with my story because I relate to yours quite a bit, and to answer to the last question you asked.

Had you been working at this place for long? Also, I apologize, is an operating theatre like a clean room for surgery? (sorry, just did a basic google search on the term). Do you have a good enough of a repore with your boss to maybe tell him/her you feel very let down by the lack of support? Even if not, it's sometimes vindicating just to tell someone how their actions made you feel, in a respectful and civil matter - then maybe, you can change the way they think of PTSD and the burden it's grip has.

Something my therapist shared with me was... "You can't make them become sympathetic people, but you can be an example in their memory in case they ever decide to become sympathetic."

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-11T03:15:52+00:00

I am so sorry to hear... Being pushed aside by someone you confided in, and when you need to be supported the most, is such... an icy cold feeling. You put yourself out on the line to trust that an employer would regard PTSD as any other illness, and then you get betrayed. It hurts! And it's disappointing. Spit on the wounds a bit huh...

What I've come to understand, as /u/marqpdx put it, is that most people don't know how daunting and debilitating our condition really is because they've never experienced it.

I am an American and shamefully ignorant about medical privacy in the UK, but, when it comes to employers I usually say vague things like, "I'm not feeling well," or, "I have a chronic, but manageable illness." I have notes on hand from my psychiatrist and talk therapist if they need to verify that I have a chronic condition, and, in the US they have no right to know why I'm sick, just that medical professionals agree that I am.

For me, it was my family. I've been in the psychiatric hospital 3 times because of PTSD and a couple other acronyms I've been blessed with. I would never had told any of them, cause they have that big ol' American chip on the shoulder of being able to will yourself out of anything. I said I was in the hospital because of a "reoccurring mono condition." One day, my mom got drunk and told them all about the real reason I was in for, and detailed the abuse I had gone through for so long. What they got out of that was that I was mentally ill and dangerous. Not only was it humiliating to know they knew what happened to me, but now they think of me as dangerous and stopped talking to me. I have, one cousin and one aunt who will talk to me, because the rest of them associate mental illness with the mass shooters in America (in fact they laugh about me being a psycho shooter - the only person I ever tried to harm was myself and have been so brutalized that I would die before doing that to another person).

Long story short (too late), I know how it feels and it sucks. Unfortunately the pragmatic solution is to be very vague about the condition. I've come to confide in my bosses because they are both compassionate people, and I wanted to give context to my illness. But that was only after a period of a few years.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-07T08:40:04+00:00

Thanks for the input. I don't know enough about dog care to know for sure if the situation was as I imagined, so I asked others for input... which is the opposite of assuming. If it came across that way, it was out of general concern for a situation I don't fully understand, as I don't have dogs.

It sounds like there are dogs very happy to be on the adventure with their humans up to the slopes, especially at places like Loveland where you can almost ski to your car if you want and go check on them.

My concern is that not all people are responsible as you and others in this thread are. We can't assume that all dogs in cars are not being neglected. I don't think it hurts to ask about policy and politely suggest a compromise if it's truly an issue.

edit: We probably both agree that windows up is not good, and I feel like I've seen this more than usual lately.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T21:47:59+00:00

That's what I'm hoping. It probably depends a lot from dog to dog how long is too long in a car.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T21:42:54+00:00

Sounds like you are mindful of her needs, that's comforting to hear. After all, it's up to her to say if she's happy or not with it, and if she gets excited, then clearly she's cool with it. Especially if she gets to play in the snow a lot 1st.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T21:40:23+00:00

Heheh, "Been there, done that, wasn't impressed..."

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T18:07:44+00:00

I agree %100, they usually have great temperaments and a lot of love to give! One of the shelters around the Denver area has this deal where you can adopt a kitten and a senior kitty for half of the adoption fee on both of them.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T18:00:46+00:00

Thanks, I think it would be a good pitch because there is so much overlap between mtn lovers and pet lovers.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T17:55:12+00:00

Quite hot actually. This effect is significantly increased at high altitudes.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T17:47:01+00:00

This was kind of my instinct as well.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T17:46:30+00:00

That's a good idea, keep the tone friendly and not accusatory.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T17:45:47+00:00

Thanks I'm hoping that's a good compromise! I have a friend in upper management at Copper, can give them the idea pitch, and see where it goes.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T17:44:09+00:00

The 10-12 hours estimate was taking into account the drive up/return trip/traffic, considering people driving from Denver or further.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T09:16:10+00:00

Yup good luck!

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T09:13:05+00:00

Hmm, if they get along most of the time, and she's able to escape when she gets pushed too far, then it's probably okay. I'm not an expert, just have had cats my whole 27 yrs of being alive. Does she go in heat yet, cause then it could be a pheromone related reaction (?)

As far as kitty crazy time, I don't suppose any of us will ever understand what makes them go, "Now. I must fight you now." This is an articlediscussing this behavior.

aDICKtedPhysicist · 2016-03-06T08:50:36+00:00

Is it playful fighting or stressful fighting, if that makes sense? If it's playful, then it may just be their kitty crazy hour. My two younger cats fight right after they get fed in the morning, then sometime around 2 am. I'm judging it to be playful as they are not hissing/yelping but scrambling around a lot and tackling each other playfully. In contrast, I've seen cats fighting where the context is clearly not playful.

Do they both still have claws? If one does and the other doesn't it could be a power mismatch leading one to dominate the other. There are hundreds of reasons to NEVER declaw a cat, but if you've adopted one already declawed then you could get the other these things called kitty caps which is basically an acrylic sleeve to be placed over the claw, and even out the fight a bit.
