I was meant to make a train, but I can't seem to focus properly anymore and I'm afraid I'd make mistakes, so you just get all the links right here.
Don't worry lots of people prefer lists or charts anyway because you don't have to click through a 300 car train to find out if there's something that peaks your interest ;)

with ESGST, you don't have to worry about going through the train from star to end manually
(but you have to turn Train Giveaways Extractor first)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the heads-up :) I haven't tried that feature yet.
I have ESGST installed but I had to turn it off a few month ago because I was getting error messages every time I open the giveaway page.
Edit: Seems it got fixed by now :)

Thanks :) I always thought it's peaks like raise but I was probably thinking of mountain tops :D
I've been saying it wrong for years.
Comment has been collapsed.
So it derives from the medieval weapon and not from peak as in the highest point. Got it :)
If you don't mind me asking do you write Belletristik (apparently this word doesn't exist in english and the closest aproximation would be fiction but it does not exclusively include fiction but rather every book aimed to entertain) or are you more of a technical writer like talgaby ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not to sound flippant, but I write whatever I wish to write. Prose, poetry, screenplays, dramas, news articles and technical pieces, I have no limit in style, genre, or format. My preferred genre for writing is fictional, short stories, followed by poetry, with that last being a bit odd when you consider that poetry is my least favorite genre to read.
Comment has been collapsed.
Interesting.
I'm not a huge fan of poetry neither. In my opinion it puts style over substance.

So sorry to hear that you've been having trouble with PTSD :( Do you have anyone you can turn to for help?
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone very close to me suffers from PTSD. Know that you're not alone and that it can get better.
Have you tried EMDR? It is supposedly the latest & greatest form of therapy for PTSD.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope that person is doing ok.
I have heard of EMDR, yes, but there's no free support for my condition where I live and I barely have enough money to pay the bills and my psychiatrist's already seen me twice without getting any pay for it, so... I mostly just try to ride it through until I feel a little better again. And then the cycle repeats.
Thank you for your comment :)

I hope you get well soon, maybe try to seek out some help? You're definitely not the only one in the world struggling with this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Focus on the future, living, and those around you. That's my drive. Give it a try.

PTSD sucks. Just remember to reach out to others. There are many, many things you can do to help you deal with past trauma, and some of them will surely help.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm very much isolated at this point, there's basically only one person I can talk to, and that's online. Still, I'm doing my best living with the condition. Thank you for your words :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I wish there was more I could do to help, but it really is "all in your head," and you are the only one who has access to your head. If you are religious, I would remind you to pray.
Comment has been collapsed.
As many people here are suggesting, I'd try to look for help (if not already with it).
Everyone needs some kind of help during many stages the life.
Please, get over soon :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I was getting help at one point, but then I ran out of my savings and there's no free support for my condition where I live and my psychiatrist's already seen me twice without getting any pay for it. I'm trying my best, though. Thank you for your kind words :)
Comment has been collapsed.
My step-dad suffered from PTSD. We as kids were afraid to wake him up in the morning, lest we get accidentally hit.
It's some serious stuff. I hope you're able to get some help dealing with it, even if it's just friends and family.
Best wishes to you, Wolf, and hope you feel better soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm sure it couldn't have been easy, growing up like that. And yeah, I have some pretty violent night terrors and even hallucinations, but thankfully, other than waking up screaming and/or disoriented, I never actually hit anyone. I don't think I'd ever forgive myself if I did, even though it wouldn't really be my fault.
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I know this is going to sound crazy, and our situations aren't even remotely similar (just prefacing this LOL)
I have trouble sleeping (racing thoughts and sometimes depression from that), and used to sleep on average about 2-3 hours/day. I took someone's advice on a whim and started watching/listening to ASMR videos on Youtube before crashing. They relax me enough that I can actually sleep longer now and get better rest, and they calm my nerves during the day as well. I have NO idea if this will be of any use to you at all, but I figured it can't hurt much either.
Anyway, here's a link to my favorite ASMR channel if you're interested - https://www.youtube.com/user/GentleWhispering
Again, best of luck to you, man.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know the feeling... I've not slept more than 4 hours a day (at best) in almost 20 years, every time I fall asleep I end up having the same nightmare, every single time. I've tried pretty much anything you can think of, including ASMR videos, but sadly I can't fall asleep if there's any noise/sound whatsoever (I have to use noise cancelling headphones just to get any rest).
Thank you so much for the recommendation though, I've not tried this particular channel yet, so... can't hurt to give it a shot.
All the best in life to you :)

I hope you can get help to leave behind those bad memories. Have you tried reading? You keep your mind busy in the topic and there is room left for other stuff.
Comment has been collapsed.
I read literally every single day, and I watch TV shows and movies as well, anything to keep the brain busy and distracted. Alas, only really seems to work for its duration. But I'll certainly keep on doing it. Thank you!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah man, that sucks :(
I know there is a lot of ongoing research to help those with PTSD that you might want to look into. Here's an article that was just published on the subject: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/6x50nl/ecstasy_was_just_labelled_a_breakthrough_therapy/
Comment has been collapsed.
that sucks bad.
are you taking any medication? i know it helps, even if it's been going on for years. it's better than dealing with it especially when something else happens and it triggers again.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm saving money to be able to get medication again. Being poor sucks ^^
Thank you for the hug... :')
Comment has been collapsed.
not being able to buy meds is the worst that could happen. 😢 hope you can get some extra $$$ and do it. ❤️️
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry to hear that, Wolfborn. I hope things will improve.
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I'm in no way a psychiatrist or even know anything about PTSD, so I cannot offer advice. I can offer you my company, however. If you feel like just chatting or something, add me/comment on my profile. I'm not super talkative and I feel like I can sometimes seem a bit uninterested, but that's because I'm a bit of a socially awkward person (serious discussions don't work too well for me over chat messages). In any case, I do like to listen (or in this case, read) and discuss various topics if you need anyone for that.
Cheers, I hope you'll get better soon!
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for the offer. I'm not very good at chatting either, or any social stuff for that matter. Used to be ok at it, but I've grown isolated over the years, since the whole PTSD thing kicked in. I do wish you all the best in life, though :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hope you can manage it. I have no idea how to deal with it, I guess it depends on how started it :S
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for sharing these GAs, Wolfborn8. Take care of yourself!
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering. PTSD is no laughing matter, and I hope you are open to having a network of support to help you get through those hard moments when you need it.
And thank you for sharing a list train!
Comment has been collapsed.
Anytime. :)
I saw you mentioning that you were isolated and unable to visit with your therapist. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing to keep your mind occupied? Gaming is one good way as it gives you something to focus on, so you're definitely at the right place being on here.
Comment has been collapsed.
On my free time I read a lot, I write (I actually have a degree in screenwriting and creative writing), I watch movies and/or TV series, listen to music and of course, play games. Basically anything that keeps my brain busy and from going down a dark memory lane...
I also go for runs when I'm not feeling too poorly.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh really? That's awesome! What screenwriting software do you use? Right now I have Celtx and Trelby installed, but I'm too lazy write anything and unmotivated to learn another writing software. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I also have both of those, but I still mostly just use an old version of Final Draft I never got around to re-subscribe to (mostly cause it's expensive and I can no longer afford it ^^), so it's probably lacking a ton of new features, but I just got used to it, I guess.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep. Seems to be the "standard" therefore it must be expensive.

Take time to relax Wolfborn, and I hope that you get well soon!

Thanks for sharing your stories with us... I hope you get well soon...
Don't be afraid to make mistake, we're all still learning for lifetime ^^
I'm even still typing with my strange english XD

Thank you so much, I hope life brings you happiness :)
And don't worry about your English-- it's perfectly fine!

Please don't apologize! You are making a lot of really nice giveaways (I love HOGs!), and I think you're being very generous. I don't care if it's a bundled game or a AAA game, it can still be fun either way.
Thank you for all the giveaways.:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry to hear that man. :/
I wish you the best and lots of wins!

I can give you some games to giveaway if you would like :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Aww... thank you Kitty, but that's ok-- they're your hard earned games to give away, not mine ^^
It was really nice hearing from you, though, so thank you for that. I hope you're doing ok, all things considered :)

My PTSD has been hitting really hard again as of late and I'm also super broke right now, but still wanted to keep giving at least a little something to the steamgifts community, so there you go. I hope you'll forgive that these are all incredibly cheap gifts (these probably shouldn't actually count towards CV, if I'm being honest).
I was meant to make a train, but I can't seem to focus properly anymore and I'm afraid I'd make mistakes, so you just get all the links right here.
A big thank you to the community for always being here; I don't really write much, but I have fun just browsing the discussions when I feel poorly.
