That’s pretty neat. I love seeing sculptures that have cloth or clothing, it’s so intricate.

I wonder if shell shock is the old term for PTSD?

I know it’s hard to sit still for the warm compresses. But I’ve discovered for myself that they really help. I’ve done a lot of experimenting in the last 4 years with my dry eyes trying to figure out what works.

Now I came upstairs and intending to do one and here I am checking out the posts instead!

The different expressions on their faces is what amazes me

“I wonder if shell shock is the old term for PTSD?”

I do believe they have gotten away with the term shell shock.

I can tell you though his uncles life was completely destroyed from whatever did happen to him. He never talked again. Just made gutteral sounds. Would grab onto furniture and jerk. He was put in a mental hospital. Eventually his brother, my husbands father, found out he was there and was eventually able to bring him home to live with them. It was not like what I have heard of PTSD where people seem to live a fairly normal life then have nightmares etc and maybe go off the deep end.

If I took naps (which I don’t) it would be easy to do the eye mask then. If I didn’t wear a C-pap at night I could do it then, but I do. I guess I will just have to force myself to sit in a chair away from the computer and do it.
