Reply to Ideas how you would/could correct this sagging bathroom floor? 100+ year old house by [deleted]
It's typical for baths in older homes to have rotten joists from decades of water. If this is that simple, jack up the joists, tear out and replace rotted sills and joists then sister or replace joists.
It isn't overly technical, just a bear in a crawlspace. Hopefully you have a basement.

Reply to Childhood abuse may alter brain function in adults. Study found people who experienced abuse during childhood (but not adolescence) experienced altered functioning in the brain for systems associated with perceptual processing and attention. by MistWeaver80
I'm 65 and recently my doc prescribed nortriptyline for nerve pain and irritable bowel resulting from diabetes, and she thought, PTSD from childhood trauma.
It woks some in those areas but for the first time in 50 years I'm not plagued by constant adrenaline dumps. I've never felt depressed but have always felt physically anxious. On top of the pressure to be cool and in control, feeling ready for fight/flight underneath is hard. And yes I did have a somewhat rough paper route.
Anyway, if you feel that unwelcome adrenaline dump regularly and in totally inappropriate situations, perhaps you should talk to your MD. I feel no emotional side effects other than a much appreciated calm and freedom from the unwelcome near-panic. I take 50mg which I understand is a low dose.
