It is scary stuff to deal with tillybee. I tried to start dealing with my abuse a little over a year ago and the feelings and pain were so scary that I stopped dealing with it altogether and pushed it away. It recently came back worse than before! It obviously is not going away no matter how hard I try to make it. It has come back rearing it's ugly head and I know now that if I don't deal with it, it will just get worse! understand how you feel. It's scary to admit and feel what happened. You deserve to get better though. I am just a couple of steps ahead of you. I am able to admit what happened without question, but I feel stuck too and haven't received the help and therapy I need yet. I wish you the very best on your road to recovery. It won't be easy but that's what this board is for!

Oh my Gosh Foxglove you are seriously my traumatic twin. My story is identical to yours so far. This is the 1st place I've found I can be honest. You know, without wrapping it up nicely or watching how much you let on. I'm so glad of the support. I feel meeting people like you and others on the forum have made a difference in me already. Talking to you guys, the knowledge that I don't have to make you understand, you don't think I'm crazy etc, it is a really nice feeling xxx

It's really got me thinking more positive! It's so nice to meet people who are suffering same or similiar - This is going to sound cheesey but........I finally feel like I belong to something,even with PTSD! It's very liberating :D

It is, for so long I felt out of place, misunderstood, and judged, here I feel safe.

Well if we are traumatic together who knows??? Today it's a therapist, tomorrow the world!!! (Or at least a decent shopping centre ;). Xx

I feel the same it's great! I am so telling my Doctor about the positive effect this forum has had on me. It's a bit surreal, as you say misunderstood and out of place, and then all of a sudden 'Click' and you just slot in here! I'm loving this thanks to you all - Group hug? Lol :)
