To spending Christmas with my sister in the Netherlands.

Quote...........”another one that works for me is listing everything I have to do tomorrow, this week, this month.” That’s weird, as I do the exact same thing, even down to the order that I’m going to do them in. It gives me a reason to get up the following day, something to plan, sounds daft...

Scotland.

Quote.............”i ve noone to relate to :(” You are not alone with feeling like that, there are many more folk in here, including myself, who have, and still do, feel like that. They stopped my therapy yeas ago, saying that they could not help me any more? So the only real Help Ive had...

Quote...........”There is NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU.... It's them...... OK......” That I can understand, as the therapist I used to see, said that to me one day, and I came away from session with a huge weight lifted from my shoulders, and feeling great, it was fantastic.

Someone to talk to, who understands.

Quote.....”I waited years to see a psychotherapist, but now I have one, I tell her, every session, that I feel I don't deserve the time that shecould be devoting to someone who actually needs it.” When I read that it was a shock to me, as that’s exactly what I felt when I started having my...

Snowflakes, I’m sorry if my post upset you, it wasn’t meant to, maybe it’s the way I wrote it. The only reason I called it a “not speaking game” was the term I used at that time. My ptsd hasn’t manifested itself back then, and I will admit it wasn’t a good time for me back then. I shouldn’t...

Not speaking to you’re partner is the worst thing, my ex wife did that all the time with me, and to be honest, I got used to it. So much so, that I gave up trying to comunicate with her altogether, as she used to do it over silly little things that didnt warrant such behaviour? I was working...

Frustrated.

I just can’t settle down in a room if it’s all cluttered? Something inside me tells me to clean and tidy it up straight away. Not when the adverts come on, but right now! Before the program even starts, other wise I won’t be able to enjoy watching it. It’s the same in the kitchen, I’ve just...

According to the therapist that I used to see, before it was stopped, told me that I had issues going right back to my childhood? That along with some events that happened during my time in the forces, and the ambulance service, where I experienced a lot of bad stuff Even during my time in the...

Because the alternative is really hard to live with?

When you live alone, like I do, there is nobody there to give you any support of any kind? I well remember going through sheer Hell after my wife passed, just at the time when I really needed help and support, I got the exact opposite. All her family, and there were many of them, turned on me...

Talking of a safe place, here is part of a poem I wrote years ago,................... I long to leave this frightening place To break away, from the human race To reach for a cloud, up in the sky A welcome place, where I can cry.

I know what you mean, after Ive had a nightmare, I’m too scared to go back to sleep, in case I have another one? Even if I did go back to bed, I couldn’t even think about sleeping? My mind goes into overdrive, and all my emotions kick in at the same time, then come rushing out! It’s like when I...

With you on that one, it’s like making up a, For and Aginst list, like positive or negative lists. We all make up these lists for other choices in our lives, but not everyone does it for a, live or die sinareo? I know that sounds btutal and blunt, but,........... life is like that, we make many...

When I’m feeling at rock bottom, and wonder if it’s worth going on. I think back to the time when my late wife was in a hospice, and saw just how desperate some folk were to keep on living, just for another day. It was an emotional place to be, and I learned quite a lot from...

Quote............”Man I need to learn how to post here. Geez. I feel like a real newbie. Sorry guys” You don’t need to learn anything to post, just write what you feel, every one will know what you mean, we are all in the same boat.

I’ve never figured out the difference between a flashback or a trigger, or many of the other words I read in posts on here, all I know is, what happens when I get one. For example something as simple as the smell of meat being cooked on a bar-b-q, it takes me right back to a horrible accident...

I found anger a long time ago, it came along with the mood swings, which I couldn’t understand until I was diagnosed with PTSD. My temper flares up really quicky now, and the scary thing is I can’t seem to control it?

Rain I feel exactly the same way! Akhos, you’re text might not have gone through yet? I once sent my sister a WhatsApp and she never got it until the following day?

Coming out from under this cloud that has been hanging over me for over a week now!

Good luck with the job, and yours first 8 hour shift, hope it goes well for you.

You say he has no friends, and that he has been qiiet since then, (if I read that correctly) maybe going to have a proper talk with him, explaining you’re previous homelessness. He might have a problem with alcohol, that brings out his “bad side” You never know, he might respond to you’re...
