I have finally done it. I've made myself an appointment with a therapist on Tuesday. I feel like I've made a massive step but still feel so close to backing out. I feel very scared. Really very nervous. I don't know how to do it, what to talk about - I feel I may not even be able to talk at all...

I've never really had any major issues with disassociation. I do go off in my own little world a lot, often when I feel uncomfortable in situations. It's only recently that after sex, the next day I cannot remember doing it. I remember being slightly uncomfortable and then after sleeping I...

If you could say any one thing to your abuser and have the courage to do so, what would it be?

I would like some advice. This feels really quite hard for me to explain. My brother sexually abused me when I was younger, what I feel I have great difficulty with is the fact that he is only 26 months older than me. This is the thing that i feel most embarrassed about disclosing as I feel I...

Ok so I was abused by my brother when I was young for about 4-5 years. There was so much upheaval in my life at that time with parents splitting, my mother being mentally ill amongst other things, I didn't enjoy what happened it was awful but this became the only constant that I had. it was...

Hi everyone, This is my first real post here. I've read a lot of your posts and I'm very sorry for what a lot of you have gone through, they also made me realise I'm not alone in this. So thank you. After reading about some of your really awful experiences I can't help but feel like I really...

I'm very new to this forum thing but I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing stories and to hopefully get a bit of advice/clarity on some things. I think this may be a lot easier than talking face to face with people. Hello everyone x

Hubby has not been great he managed to get and see the Physch today he was late ( couldnt get out of bed) for the appointment so I am glad he still saw him. I just rang him he said the doc has put him on different meds. He has gone back to bed his IBS started up about 2 hours after seeing the...

Well as you know I have not had a good year with my health ( which is getting better) and not a real good year with Hubby! But today I am excited I am going to see Elton John tonight he is coming up to Townsville and playing at the local football stadium. They think it may rain but he said he...

Hubby has been really down this week he assures me that we are going to go away on the weekend like we planned but I am not real confident! I am going with or without him! My question is if a sufferer is really down like he has been what would the likely reaction be if I remind him that he...

There are just the two of us home now as the kids have moved out. I always said once that happened I would have a really nice and neat house. Hubby is a clutterer he has junk everywhere all the time I am forever picking up after him. Just lately I feel like I am becoming like him I see stuff...

My 22 year old son rang me last night he is going to Afghanistan early next year! He is looking forward to the whole adventure and I am proud of him! But I will be worried sick and I hope he doesnt come back messed in the head like his Dad did from an overseas duty! Jen

Hubby seems to be going backward again I know when I am at work he stays in bed till lunchtime I just rang him then to remind him of a docs appointment and he was still in bed 1pm? He is good for a few days then goes downhill we are having a bit of stressful time with our business with...

Hi things have been going really well for the last week with hubby and I we had a talk last week just to clear the air about a few things and it seemed to help! Well he went and saw his Pysch yesterday and he came and saw me at work and said the Doc was happy with him but I could tell by his...

Sometimes when I am around hubby especially at work ( we run a small business together) or if we are doing things around the house I find myself sometimes feeling nervous around him I am waiting for him to tell me I am doing something wrong as he usually does! I hate this feeling of not being...

Hi whats the chances of us carers having a thread and write about anything that makes you smile as we know sometimes we let our partners / sufferers problems become overbearing and we dont think about ourselves! It doesnt matter how trivial the reason is just a smile a day hey! Something that...

Hubby was diagnosed with Diabeties Class 2 which can be controlled by diet and exercise his GP sent him to a specialist before then he was walking and just starting to ride his bike. We went and saw this Doc and he said his sugar level is not to bad so just to keep an eye on things and gave him...

Hi I usually post in the Carers Forum. Hubby has all of a sudden started to get cold sweats he is shivering and really cold wearing a jacket but his skin is clammy and hot? We live in the tropics so its not cold weather. He has blood tests that only show that he is diabetic 2 and the Doc said...
