Unfortunately not everyone believes that mental illness is real, some people will believe that what you are going through is just something you are making up or pretending to do to get out of working or to seek attention. I found that a lot of people did not understand what I was going through...

This happens to me ALL the time, I have started taking some medication that helps a bit but even with it I struggle sometimes, I find the combination of medication and doing something relaxing till I pass out helps, reading a therapy book usually :P You are not alone for sure! I think its all...

Hey, I also sufferred an abusive relationship, I already had ptsd when I met him but did not know, he made it worse and I suffered a lot of what I thought were strange things, I never talked to anyone about my symptoms because he convinced me that I was simply psycho. I have since learned that...

Felt good to read this post, I know I do this to my Sam sometimes but I just can't snap out of it for some reason ....I am sure he feels the way you do sometimes but I am never really sure if he actually sees it like the way you just described it so perfectly...anyways it was like reading what I...

Awe :( Its okay to be scared or nervous, if I remember correctly you told me that ;) Try and find some relaxing things to do that take your mind off of it. As my T always says; Don't borrow troubles from tomorrow for today. I hope all works out for you, I will be thinking about you!

To sleep well and wake up tomorrow Brave and read to take on my second day at work and to try and stay positive if it doesn't go quite as smooth as I hope...To keep this confidence about me and not lose hope that I am getting better because of other peoples actions!
