So Here I Am

[bob fawcett]

Hi,

Dont know what to say other than I suffer from complex PTSD and I am not doing so well. Am on another forum and thought I would give this one a shot. So here I am.

Hi Bob Fawcett,

I'm fairly new here too, but I feel like I belong here, from the warm welcome some people have given me...and just to be able to relate to so many people with their symptoms and experiences.

Hope you find it as helpful as I am finding it being here.

I didn't read the rules, are we allowed to discuss what brought us here? What part of the world are you in?

I didn't read them either, but my story is coming out in dribs and drabs wherever I see the relevant thread. I guess you can share stuff here, if you feel comfortable to?

I'm from Australia.

I am more than comfortable, I've had a pretty horrible ordeal and actually figure I may be able to be a good sounding board for others.I live in Whistler BC. I was forced to kill and it has pretty much destroyed my soul.....

Oh! I've visited Whistler...a few years ago, it's so beautiful there.

I'm only new, and I am still learning to navigate my way around the place...but I have found that the trauma diary section is particularly good for being bale to just tell all, in the context of a journal that I share with people here...so maybe that would be the relevant place for you to spill the proverbial beans?

What do you think?

 

[bob fawcett]

I dunno. Kinda just want to rant to someone. I'll check it out. Yes Whistler is a lovely place. And my god if that is your picture you are one beautiful person....

Thanks for talking to me, I'm fairly lost here.

No...that's not really me...though I am a beautiful person;)

I'm sure you are. I was just reading your diary.

I too was sexually assaulted, but as a child. Many things have led to my demise. I thought I would try this to see if I can help, listen, and be listened to. I don't think I am long for this world, so I figured I better start trying something.

Such a great photo. Mine is of me at a dog-sled race last year.

Well, it's good you found this place then.

There are many people here who have experienced childhood sexual assault, so you are not alone.

Are you in Alaska?
