    What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Anything Paramore - as I’m supposed to gone going to see them in a few weeks but as I’m wheelchair bound I might not be able to go. Me and my stupid ficking brain (and body)

    Why thank you, I was trying to get the flourishes to look natural, think that gave it the 3D effect (:

    Thank you, this helps. But I struggle with the fact that people have to say they like it, because it’d be plain old rude not to. Thank you, though. Means a lot

    The physical side effects of ptsd…

    You are ever so kind hearted, thank you. It’s nice to know doctors are discovering that trauma can really f*ck you up physically. From what I learnt from figuring out why I can’t walk, the brain is ever so powerful and really bites me in the ass when I go against its core beliefs.

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I am safe I am currently still in hospital. Things have gotten really dark. Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s nice to not feel like a complete crazy person, to no feel completely alone. I get quite similar than this. One I was standing on sand and I swear I could see every little...

    The physical side effects of ptsd…

    I’m medicated, but maybe things need tweaking. Maybe my brain just needed a break from my legs, or maybe it’s my brains way of punishing for going out and having fun a couple weeks ago (symptoms started a couple days after). Thanks for the hope though. I’m getting shortlisted for physio...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    Numb. Dissociation has really been biting my ass. I just don’t have it in me to feel my reality so just numb numb and more numb. Brain is super foggy

    Really need an objective opinion about my therapy

    This is definitely something to bring up with a therapist that you trust. Because the brain has a very special talent in hiding difficult events and feelings from us (like a dissociative thing), but for now, try not to ruminate on what I’ve just said. First job is to find a competent therapist...

    The physical side effects of ptsd…

    Oh I’ve just been diagnosed with this! I was explained that it was functional (no head or spine injury) and my pdoc has hypothesised it’s to do with trauma stuff… I was hoping it wasn’t yet another thing trauma has done to mez currently can’t walk so wheelchair-bound. Please tell me it gets...

    Chat, check-in, and hang out

    Not sure if this is much help but I take zolpidem for my sleep, prescribed by my psychiatrist. It helps a lot. I don’t take it every night, only if I’m really struggling to get off to sleep. Takes around an hour to work

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    I hope I don’t spend the rest of my life on the run from this. The past 7 years I’ve spent running and running and running. I don’t know when I’m going to face it. more positively, and a bit more funny: I walked out my room to find… a… toastie maker Looking thing? Just in the middle of the...
