So glad I've read this tonight. A few days ago I was woken up in the middle of the night feeling startled and suddenly realising I was wetting myself. I managed to stop, jump up and into the bathroom to clean up, but oh my days the embarrassment is real! I remember dreaming I was in the...

When my daughter died during labour, abd the poor medical care throughout That was the worst I'd ensured at that point. Then our last possible chance of a sibling ending in an early miscarriage straight after finding out I was pregnant. I thought that was my last hope of happiness. It felt...

Holy heck this is me today!!!!! The sponsor of today's efforts are self doubt and overthinking

I'm so sorry to hear your nightmares are now including your son, that sounds understandably terrifying. But I think you're quite right that big life events can certainly affect our nightmares. My ptsd stems from the poor medical care received when my daughter died in childbirth. Weirdly, I don't...

Thank you for your kind words, and i totally agree. Tbf I can see how far I've come with therapy, I haven't blamed myself and know it was best for me to go home, I'm just sad that I miss out on time with loved ones, and I guess it reinforces that not only will I forever miss my baby, I have to...

I can completely relate to this. My therapist said its very common when we've felt so unable to control things in a traumatic event, that the world can then seem a scary place. Maybe because you can't see around that corner immediately is triggering a feeling of not being in full control, and...

Thank you, and yep, I'm sooooo with you on it driving you up the damm wall! The heartbreak, I think that's what infuriates me so much is that so much of my heartbreak and grief is so heavily intertwined with my ptsd, and that even with all the trauma therapy and helpful techniques in the world...

I'm just venting, so bare with me here. My trauma stems from the death of my baby daughter during a very early labour, the poor medical treatment at that time and also many years of ttc prior to all this, nearly 9yrs ago now Today, myself, sisters and a friend were doing a little surprise...

Going to a college for hair and beauty is a great idea!

.......when you're "doing really well" post therapy ending, and suddenly 1 single piece of news causes the mother of all panic attacks, catastrophsizing, hyperventilating, tears galore......you get the gist. All happening at 3.44am, and because of this piece of news you need to go look after...

How about trying a semi permanent black, like Artic fox, crazy colour or dimensions? They all typically last 12-28 washes depending on the brand/your starting colour, and super easy to do yourself at home. I say do whatever makes you feel more you, more happy in your own skin. life is too short...

Thank you for reading my post and responding with such kind words and understanding. I'm so sorry you've also lost 2 of your children, it's an unfair world at times. We lost 3 babies many years ago to early miscarriage, and then got pregnant with our miracle ivf babies. We lost twin 1 quite...

So in the UK its mother's day, and as all of my babies died before/during birth, it's pretty painful. My partner is currently working away, and bless his heart, he'd arranged flowers and card delivery to me. So so beautiful, and I'm so thankful he is so willing and able to share his grief and...

This is HUGE! Massive congrats! It's not odd to think of this as an accomplishment (although I totally appreciate why it can feel that way). But it is definitely a brilliant accomplishment to be able to receive and recognise that change, regardless of how small it may feel. As joeylittle quite...
