They're making a rehab place for ptsd soldiers just near to me. It's a beautiful peaceful place in the UK with nice big hills to hike or run and has been incredibly good for my healing to live here so I'm hoping that when it opens it is as good for the ppl who need a ptsd rehab as it has been...

It's horrid isn't it, that was so sweet of your wife with the flannel, my partner just rolls over tries to hug me like a bear and goes back to sleep. Do u get it all the time? I get sort of flare ups, Ive managed this one without having a night where I don't sleep at all, Those nights are the...

Thank you for all the replies & support. I keep having to remind myself that this isn't the worst I've lived through. I've woken up every morning so far in tears. I'm grieving as if someone has died. Invisablesun - I didn't go to the court for the verdict, nor the rest of the trial other than...

Hi All I haven't been here for a long time. This might be a ramble. Yesterday my 2 and a half year journey to try and achieve justice against the man who sexually abused, beat me and raped me as a child ended in failure. The jury somehow found him not guilty on all 14 charges. I don't know...

Hi all, How can I support my partner more? I love him so much and he's so kind and caring and supportive of me it makes me sad to see how much of a burden my suffering causes him. He has his own problems with anxiety and has suffered with depression in the past too. Sometime I think that he...

Thanks for your comment lilbit we are both really stressed at the mo & I think were both easily offended at the mo too thank you of reminding me of normal partnership things aren't always smooth either. I keep forgetting 'this too shall pass', could do with it tatooed on my wrist! Thanks Ali x

:hug: Thank you for your kind & thoughtful comment GWhizz I read your message earlier and I found it really helpful. I forget sometimes the ptsd is hard on him too, weve both been really stressed out recently because there's so much going on at the moment. He did mean he was glad that I...

Im feeling really sad and low today. I went to the drs this morning because ive been feeling exhausted and shes sending me for blood tests. I couldn't sleep last night so I wrote my partner a little note asking for him to call the drs to book an appt. He was nice & made my appt and took me...
