Summary:PTSD is a lingering condition that springs from trauma, and no matter how much has changed, or time passed, it just doesn't want to really heal. There are days when I feel like superwoman, having overcome the hardest lessons of my life, and others, when I feel as broken as a junkyard tricycle. On those days, the simplest social interactions are as difficult as mountain climbing, complicated by the fact that I feel compelled to hide this fact. Those days bring shame, self-disgust, impatience with my frailties, and a host of other pointless, unwelcome mind enemies. Here is a tiny fragment of that unhappy condition as I experience it.Chapters: |

Summary:I am helping my mom write her memoir - Milestone Moments. Each chapter is a milestone moment in her life. It is written in 3rd person, unual for a memoir I'm sure, but the way she wanted it. I post this chapter here with her permission. All suggestions are welcome.

Summary:This is a revision of my memoir, previously titled The Big C. It describes how my adolescent cancer wreaked havoc on my life, and how, at the age of thirty, I finally ssought the assistance of a caring therapist who helped me come to terms with its far-reaching mental health consequences.
The story moves back and forth in time and place. Chapters that describe my experiences as a twelve year old are interspersed with chapters that showcase my sessions with my therapist when I'm a young adult. The story ends with me in my fifties, discovering the cause of my cancer and uncovering a secret about myself I could never have guessed.
Any and all feedback is appreciated. I have not removed the earlier reviews because I want to keep all of the advice they provided. If you have read and/or reviewed this story before, I would appreciate hearing what you think of the changes. If my story is new to you, please ignore those early reviews and share your own impressions.
One small caveat - Chapters one and two are more similar to their original form than are chapters three, four, and five.Chapters: |
