laurie71, Welcome to Life! I see only healthy things in what you wrote in your Letter. Just my feeling. Thank you.

Thank you Abstract, Yes, it does not say much but it's a start :) In case anyone has more information, please feel free to give it here :tup: Best wishes.

Hello Chelsea, I might be completely wrong, but I'm just talking from my heart. I guess that you could start by searching for a DEEP TRUE friend that you could trust, that can be so life saving. I know, not easy when trust is involved... You could also work on your own beliefs that make you so...

Yes Franciemarnie, I heard about that trouble too and was wondering if my "stuff" was related to that. But as it is names + faces, I don't know. And I anyway memorise these, but it just takes several meetings for me to do so. So... Anyway, thank you for your kind answer, I wish you the very...

Thank you for your knd answers, Franciemarnie and I can do this :) Actually I was not refering to the memory loss DURING the traumas, as I know since a while why I lost memory of a whole year of my childhood and why the flashbacks where only extremely violent emotional flashbacks, not related...

Hello, from a few threads I could see that there is a tendency to link memory problems with PTSD here. I find that extremely interesting and would like to know if these memory troubles can really be linked with PTSD. Has there been any serious research about that? Where to find such research...

I haven't healed without therapy, that would have been impossible I think. Actually, I would say the same as Lucycat, I doubt that PTSD (Complex PTSD for my part) can be healed without any therapy at all... unless you have at least one deep, true, compassionate and PATIENT friend, which is very...

When I was feeling so very bad, I listened a lot, I mean a LOT, to the final tracks from the "One Hour Photo" movie with Robbin Williams, and also the final song from "Pan's Labyrinth". Now, my favorite music is the choirs by Arvo Part, like "Kanon Pokajanen". It is so amazing music, very...

Hello Sick of Fear, please be aware that what I will say is only from my own experience, so I don't know if it is true for you. I felt the same until a very few months ago, going extremely down, I mean I had real crisis of despair that lasted sometimes up to 3 days, just learning about people's...

Wow, therapybankrupt, I absolutely agree with you and your T, that is very simply and clearly said! Thank you :)

Well, I guess that the word "spiritual" or "spirituality" can have as many meanings as there are people. To me, once we are born, we ARE spiritual people, as I tend to consider spirituality as life itself, and the rise of consciousness that goes with it. On the other hand, I admit that I try to...

What I will say may not be true for everyone, as it is only from my own experience. But oh well, I will share it so you understand what I mean about the feeling of guilt. If it is of any positive use... About the guilt, I guess that there are as many cases as there are persons. I would probably...

The feeling of guilt had been so rooted in me that it actually became part of my identity. That means that even if I KNEW that I was not guilty I still FELT guilt. My therapist did not try to convince me that I was not guilty, she made me face my feeling of being guilty right in the eyes and...

Hello LookingForGuidance, do you know why your wife had some depressive tendencies before she had been sexually assaulted? Maybe the sexual assault just has added a load to a pain that she buried inside far before that. That may at least partly explain why she would refuse to seek group/sexual...

Intrasearching, I know about this feeling of betrayal and abandonment, even if the way I experienced it is probably extremely different from yours. I also have C-PTSD. What I will say may sound hard to hear, but it is what has been (still is) true for me. I love my wife and children extremely...

Hello GreenFrog, sometimes we can't help giving you "hints" as if we knew what you should do, because we all know so well here the pain you are going through and we would so much like you to feel better. But of course, these hints can't really work, because we are not you. Only you can make and...

GreenFrog, it is a long time since I have answered your messages in this thread but I am reading each of them with great attention. I don't know, I just feel so close to the way you write and the way you just express directly from your heart what you are feeling and going through. As I already...

Awwww I understood at last! Forgive me I didn't realize that this thread was in the "find a friend" forum. My mistake :x3:

Has something wrong been done, Cherryblossom? I am not sure I understand.

Minolta has always been my favorite brand, which is now Sony as Minolta disappeared. I gave up on films and do only digital now, because the labs don't know anymore how to develop films in good quality way. By the way, my avatar is a photo I took a few years ago :) ... well, it's not a...

Lol, no, I am French, Indigo :p ... I forgot to tell you about the chat possibility here, I find it and interesting thing with nice people, was really cool when I did it, even if sometimes it can be triggering. Sometimes nobody's on the chat room, but sometimes there are, and it is nice to share :)

Hello Indigo, I don't know your life story but one thing is sure, you are very welcome in this forum and you will never be rejected whatever that story can be! I think that everyone here knows what is true hell mental pain (and sometimes physical too). Therefore, one is deeply respected and...

GreenFrog, I think I can relate to each word that your wrote in your six last messages! Unfortunately the only things one can do here are to read you, to understand you (too well sometimes!), to give you some supporting words coming from the heart and a few ideas from his/her experience, and to...

Awwwww Winterose, you just touched me right in my heart! I am a professional musician (violin) and since I had this first horrible despair crisis one year ago I competely stopped practicing and listening music. You message triggered a childhood memory 1 minute ago and I now know why I just...

Hello GreenFrog, As you seem to not have any help where you are, may I suggest that you go to this forum's chat here and there? Sometimes there is nobody online, but sometimes there are people online and they are always very VERY understanding because they usually know about struggling... Well...
