I have to have my dog in my room (if i'm really struggling, like tonight, she'll lie right next to me so I can wrap my arms around her), the door shut and my tv on (well... my laptop), as well as my anti-depressant. Most of the time I don't fall asleep until after 1 or 2 am. I wake up every two...

Haha, I like this Russ :D

My nieces telling me that they "love their Aunty Lolly", always makes me happy :)

What my little sister does to ground herself is: have hot drinks, very sour sweets, ice on her, talk about things she has done during the day and where she lives etc, doing exercise (this works the best. She goes on an exercise bike). Those are just some of the things she does to ground herself...

Feeling like I just want to run. Forever. Like Forrest Gump, but with better hair.

What kind of dog have you got? And the rats sound very cute!!! I have a small dog called Lilo. She is my world <3 kept me going from hell and back. She is 6 now. Last year I got two kittens from my next door neighbour. They are called Finnick and Pumba. I named the latter Pumba because he is...

My little sister who I look after has Dissociative Identity Disorder, and she has told me a few times that after an episode she feels like her head is the clouds. You may be partially dissociating, still able to function normally but you're not quite "all there", if you get what I mean? I...

I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses so I believe that after we die we will be resurrected into a perfect paradise earth. This really comforts me as my little sister has tried to commit suicide 70x (as well as be in other incredibly dangerous situations I can't talk about; she also has PTSD and DID)...

First off can I just say you summed up me perfectly in one paragraph... pain always makes my feelings very confused! It sounds like you're having a really rough time with your pain. I have just come out of a patch exactly like that, and its rotten. I do hope you find some relief soon! Huge clap...

Not really sure on how to answer the poll. When my Dad abused my sister and I, he was still "pretending" to be a Jehovah's Witness. He would go to the services (we call them meetings) but he didn't follow along or even believe in it. He would actually take me out during the meeting to the...

I have M.E and Fibromyalgia so if I don't get out of bed to get my pain killers in the morning, I really suffer. That and I have to feed my 2 cats and dog. Days like today though I do all those things and get straight back into bed. So it doesn't always work lol. But if I didn't have external...

Anytime MacBeth. I hope you feel better soon. Stay safe :)

I'm so sorry you're struggling so much right now. If you need a listening ear, feel free to PM me anytime. And yes... I definitely feel broken beyond repair, especially at the moment. I'm having to just having to get myself through the day hour by hour. Trying to remember that I will dig my way...

Hmm... well, I think how I started talking about stuff was by her (care worker) asking me how my week was. I told her I had an argument with my Mum (very serious one) about her being angry that I was abused. So after explaining the argument I started to cry. The conversation then naturally...

Personally, I also find it incredibly difficult to talk about the bad things that I've gone through. It made therapy really hard, as you said we were dancing around the elephant in my room. I started talking about my bad experiences by just telling random stories about nice things that happened...

I can only speak from my little sister's experience. She was cutting everyday, all over. She is very embarrassed about it and was also worried her crisis nurse/therapists/etc (I call her team the Avengers. There are so many of them!), but she eventually did tell them, and they didn't panic about...

Thank you for the reply. I am so sorry to hear about your husband, I hope you are coping :) I have been to the dr about the fainting, we thought I was having a heart problem, so they're keeping an eye on that. I have tried several different anti-depressants to help the PTSD & anxiety, but...

First off - Hi! I'm Lolly. Newbie around this unfamiliar internet territory. So I have had PTSD for about a year now. A couple of months ago, I started suffering with panic attacks. They didn't happen often, so I tried to think little of them. Then, last Monday, I just felt constantly FREAKED...
