I have had PTSD for 20 years now it is something that we deny and try to get back to normal,then just as we feel better it raises its head as if its telling us"i am not going away yet"yet meaning until we accept the things that made it appear in the first place,acceptance makes it a little...

Same here, I did not cry because I didn't want him to think he was hurting me so like many abused kids I took it. Even when he broke my bones I never whimpered but by the point of breaking bones I had become "numb with grief". It gets to that point where crying wont even happen no matter how...

Great-full that i woke to see another day as each day is a blessing,and that i had a good sleep with no nightmares which is a big deal to me, and great-full that my mum is well and happy too.

Welcome to this site. I too was abused by my father who even put me in hospital on one occasion. It is a struggle to come to terms with it but I found this site days ago and already feel a part of it. Everyone here treats all like family which is nice, it helps to have support.

I live in Wales UK and at the moment the weather is very bad,there are floods and gale force winds that uproot trees and damage buildings,the other day i saw a car float by like a boat! and it is below freezing too!, we may have a white christmas who knows if not then it will be a wet one :)

Feeling tired because of lack of sleep caused by me feeling anxious,feeling aches and pains that were caused by my injuries that were inflicted upon me through child abuse but the pain reminds me i have survived it all.

One thing I forgot is someone once said to me "Get on with your life". Well he screamed it rather than say it, this of course triggered major panic attacks for me and made me take steps backwards in my recovery. It was a doctor who said it actually not understanding at all but he was an...

"Snap out of for goodness sake" that's a big no no. "You cant still be upset by it" that's a cruel one. "Get over whatever you need to get over" People just don't think before they open their mouths, to them saying things like that is no big deal but to us having them said to us it is a...
