So do I have PTS? According to this article? I was found pulseless, & apneic; after having a cord wrapped around my neck and pulled so tightly that I was dead immediately. The only reason I was still in the sitting position when I was found, was because I was still being strangled... and her intention was to kill me! She told the police this the night she was arrested; she told the people in the Juvenile Detention Center she was in from the time she was arrested & charged, until she was sentenced; and again at her sentencing hearing she was asked if she wanted to make a statement. She did this, and told the judge, God, and everyone else in the court room that her only regret was that she had NOT succeeded. *she lost her juvenile confidentiality rights when she was originally charged 2 days after the incident. Because she was originally charged as an Adult, and she was the first child in Eau County to be automatically charged as an adult with a Class A felony!* There was approximately 3-5 written out plans found on her person, or in her belongings when she was arrested. Whether or not I fall into the definition of this article, I am pretty sure that I have post traumatic stress... because I have the Majority of the "classic" symptoms of PTS. Talk to you later, Please do not feel offended by my message. I am just asking... my allergies are really badly set off, so I could sit here and read the entire article, so I skimmed it picking out as many of the important parts of it that I could... but nothing is making sense to me right now, it has taken me about 30 minutes to type this out, because I keep forgetting what I am trying to say. I think I am approaching the need for further assistance. Right now, I am sitting here playing the "Queen of Denial"!!! My oxygen is running, meds on board, feeling rotten, and not liking it a bit! I know if I was the one reading this, I would be jumping up and down telling me to call 911. But I don't have the energy to go deal with attitude from police, fire, paramedics, or the ER staff.... so here I sit fighting it out with my allergies!! I have no other way of going anywhere... clinic, ER, or anywhere else either! My brain is just totally out to lunch... I can't think straight. Hope everyone is having a good day. I will talk to all of you later! Love Always, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place sounds expensive above & beyond the fact that I live in Minnesota, and no airline will ever let me fly because of the severity of my allergies!
