You have to pay an admin fee, but just ask at your GP. It's a pretty normal thing to do now, no questions asked. The NHS app is pretty representative, if it's not on there it's probably not anywhere your GP can see. You should be able to find the referral letter, if anything is locked ask for...

Social life is always difficult. Work on yourself, when you're ready you'll be able to handle it. Like many, do social situations different and be more aware of your limits. It is not your imagination, talking about it, looking to and striving to change and improve yourself, that takes inner...

Don't would be my suggestion and dont do it on your phone either not for therapy or trauma journaling. Better to keep physical copies, secure and safe then dispose of them properly when therapy is finished. Good therapists suggest the same. Seems like it isn't but it's too easy for others to...

Part of the problem is you were a child. Did you know what you were doing or were you copying. How did adults respond at the time? Talk to your cousins, own up to them and dicuss the issues. It will continue to affect you and them until you do. Get into therapy either way and work on resolving...

Sounds like your fear is immobilising you a bit there. What do you want and why do you want this person to do that for you? Must be someone you look up to and respect or you wouldn't want them to be there. At the same time you have to keep yourself to yourself which affects your recovery and...

What you have been through is not enjoyable and you are not the problem. When you're beaten down enough, when people seek to make you doubt, make you think that it is you who is the problem. That's their problem, keep your distance from them. It's a classic abuse technique, make you doubt...

It's all pretty reasonable to have such dreams and problems, especially after changes in your life. Maybe you can do something to make yourself more secure, to feel safer and ensure the past can never repeat itself. No harm in improving security, not only will you actually be safer but it can...

I for one am glad you have spoken to people and managed to find something that works for you. Never give up.

I would like to have better information and provide more insight. You are important, especially to your daughter, focus on that for now. Take care of yourself.

It sounds like you are having an awful time. Sorry for everything you have suffered through. There may not be a clear path forward but that does not mean there isn't one. The past is the past do not beat yourself up over it. You made the best decision you could in the moment. Sounds like you...

Yeah I think "prickly" is probably right, it's coming out wrong though. I'll give noises a go thank you, waiting for therapy right now but I'll make plenty of stupid comments when it starts!

I've had a lot of problems, made some good progress in many areas, very little in some. I find if I'm left alone, not messed with, manipulated, abused, I will be calm, can take and handle a lot. PTSD cups explanation. When the cup overflows, I can lash out, not in anger more in spite, but I...

Could it be a fragrance allergy or similar? Not documented a lot but more and more cases popping up. Especially with preservatives in certain cleaning products. Can research it, seems to be about exposure amount, you'd be fine around fragrances but as they build up and you are exposed more...

So many people are blind to realities of this world. I used to be, until I laughed with someone about a problem, he took it to be me laughing at him, he believed lies of jealous people. Asked questions that gave the answer he wanted rather than the truth then went on a campaign to ruin me and...

Oh I meant it, much of what you read in that topic has been a part of my life one way or another

Your historical topic is most likely the playbook

You know when you're targeted. If someone really wants to get in, they'll get in. Could be next door to be honest, doesn't really matter.

Hah could take my life from that.

Yes, have been. Someone gets in my home often, no forced entry so not much I can do. Keep changing locks, doesn't matter.

I dont know what to say really. Have had trouble with what I've been through and never been able to get to the bottom of it. Any attempt to leaves me targeted again. Money is power and crime pays well i guess.

A lot of people here feel how you do Hope. Your name says the opposite but I do like your attitude, gives me hope more people stand up for what's right and refuse to accept abuse in any form. I see it as the few bad people in the world, of which there are many admittedly, are more vocal than...

If someone is in an active abuse situation of any sort then much of the advice sufferers receive or give can be seen as diminishing the abuse. Many treatments for PTSD, CPTSD and other results from trauma are geared towards the event being in the past. If it is not then I can see the points as...

Welcome You're not alone, many find that people weren't listening in the first place. If they had maybe you would not be here. People here will listen and understand.

What you described sounds very much like my situation. Unfortunately people assume a lot, state facts and opinions to justify behaviour or to make a point. High functioning, law abiding etc, none of it really matters, just labels people throw about. It can happen to anyone for any reason, as...

Welcome, sorry for what brings you here. I would say your first step would be to gain the distributed footage. I have had a somewhat similar experience and no idea how to do that. If anyone has seen it you would think they would seek to help rather than continue abuse. People are bad but shock...
