What I most wanted in hospital was for someone to truly listen to me and for this to be without attaching their own agenda. I can see that we are chalk and cheese when it comes to our understanding of the human psyche and therefore this discussion could go on ad infinitum.....

@FridayJones wow what an interesting response to someone reaching out for help and acceptance. As @Exitmusic says extremely triggering. I could vomit out the details to you over the keyboard of why my enforced treatment was traumatising and how a delusion seems 100% real at the time and how...

@Exitmusic sorry haven't been back here for a while. Thanks for your reply. I am interested to read your story and I believe you too...

Hi @jacx Sorry to hear your about your struggles, but sure is nice to chat to you. A lot of these things are indescribable, we try to make sense of them and sometimes the words perhaps don't exist. please don't apologise... I have been given all sorts of meds previously, I am not a fan of...

Hi @jacx Glad you came back to the forum. I've not been here for a few days... I have experienced periods of intense tiredness in the past. For many years I needed at least 12 hours peg night to feel ok. I felt this as a half life, even though many people said I should be pleased that I was...

Hey @Julinha Thank you for such positive and supportive comments to me. I am so sorry to hear what you have endured. Glad you are here too, reaching out for support...

Hello I am feeling a lot better today, a bit sharper and less trapped in my mind. Yes @intothelight, ain't that the truth, the oscillation is tiring... I will enjoy the respir while it lasts.... Longer term I will look for a counsellor, thank you for the suggestions @barefoot . I am sure you...

Hi Yes my boss was supportive, if a little shocked!! Unfortunately now he keeps really triggering me and I have felt very angry towards him, which I have barely been able to hide since. He is kind and well intentioned but is being very heavy handed with cliches such as 'don't bottle it up'...

Hi Gadgie Thanks for your encouragement... Much appreciated....

Hello... I have joined up as after ten years of trying to cope alone with PTSD, I have come to realise that I can't carry on without help... After seven years of keeping my secret I had a melt down at work and blurted my story out to my boss. I regret this, but you can't unsay something.... I...
