Hey digger long time no speak how are you? Xx

Thanks in advance guys!! :)

I can totally relate to this quote. I just cannot fall asleep at all & as Sam says it takes exhaustion to take over. I have no sleep pattern! I dread night times. I wind myself up because everyone else is sleeping!!! Why can't I? I know that even before the day has started it's ruined...

It's comforting you all agree but it's soooo wrong!!! We should be allowed to live and be who we are! Does anyone think part of the illness is from hiding? Or made worse due to hiding? Xxx

I feel the same. This past week has been rubbish. I want to stop tensing up and screaming in my head everytime I get even a slight memory. I've panic attacked alot this week and it get on your nerves. I feel like shouting 'thats it, thats enough, you win'. I want to relax but I'm too...

This thread is great & shows the group support a member when they needed it. That's what being heres all about. @EvenStrongerNow to write all of that must have really took it out of you! Bless you! I've not been able to do it yet, on here or personally. I also have a problem with traumatic...

Welcome! This forum has done wonders for me. If nothing else it's a place you don't have to hide everything and carry on. I also feel normal when I'm here. We are all pretty much on the same journey although our experiences and traumas differ. Nice to Meet you Officer! :)

Welcome, I am a newbie to this forum - you will get support here and maybe that will help you find the best answer :)

@Hope4Now I have to agree with you. It's like you can switch on and off most of the time. It's like answering the phone at work, when you pick the phone up you are an entirely different person. It wasn't until I switched off due to being happy and content with life that the PTSD came out and...

This thread is one of the most emotionally charged ones I've read. I want you to all know how brave you are to even write stuff down & share your stories. @mytai please know I've been there and I mean this from the bottom of my heart - stay safe, don't hurt yourself - I feel like I'm right...

I deserve to have time to slow down, stop & be ill. Without this I cannot begin to heal

Oooooh Pancakes!!! Is it dinner time yet? I feel like a little kid I'm excited!! Traditionally - Fresh orange juice with segments of fresh orange or mandarin & a small sprinkling of sugar. Mmmmm really can't wait now! :) Brilliant Idea!!! :) Sooooooo it's pancakes for breakfast lol. I have...

I am grateful for my eldest son who is 15 today! He is smart, understanding, funny, caring and kind - everything you would want your child to be :)

:D and they say we need help lol! Thanks for your reply! It's good to giggle & make light of things sometimes. I find that other peoples 'caveman' mentality makes me laugh. I find myself thinking 'can you imagine going on a full flashback meltdown in front of the snooty cow at work?' - or...

Honestly? When you get your diagnosis you question whether you've been holding this in all your life! I think we all learn to hide at times. It is such a shame there is stigma regarding mental illness and we feel we have to do this to 'fit in' or be 'normal'. It takes alot of energy and...
