Then after all this had the most horrific nightmare : I'm in bed asleep, my body started to rise up on an invisible cross. My arms are out like on a crucifix, something is controlling my body It was like something out of the exorcist film. I was about to possessed by something EVIL. I'm...

I got up 4am and started to declutter the house. I used to get up at 4 am every single day to give Bubba her meds. The new mini hoover came, so I hovered on my hands and knees to save my back. I did 8 hours of getting rid of stuff, cleaning, etc. It got to the point where my back was in spasm...

Thank you, Friday They have finally let my dad out the hospital this eve. They needed the bed! I was just learning that heart attack and cardiac arrest are two different things. He also has COPD and has oxygen, hence why he wouldn't have survived open heart surgery. I'm going to have to go to...

I'm hurting so much at the moment. I saw my dad in hospital yesterday he also has chest infection with his lung disease and is on oxygen. My mum keeps saying when you gonna get another cat, this hurts me so much! Like saying to someone whose best friend has just died, when you gonna get another...

Changing for the best - some ideas that may help? You said you want to go to the pool but can't because of wounds The hospital gave me extra thin HYDRCOLLOID DRESSING . It's like a second skin, that you cut to size and place over the wound, to let it heal. You can use it in water, the bath etc...

To the original poster, I can empathize as I'm still picking out mirror glass left in my skin. Also stitches, clear sutures left in my ankle when my ex smashed a mirror over me. Was in my body for 5 years, until they cut it out in hospital. He did it because I was leaving him and I didn't want...

I emailed my therapist twice and got no reply. Had to take valium as was just in tears last night and gotta have a clear head. I will ask for a female surveyor, as my dad was gonna be here when the man comes, but now he's in hospital. I don't even let the meter reader man in, the food shopping...

My father had a second heart attack in hospital last night. They have given him something to open up the airways. I dreamt of my bubba cat - my baby, my precious, she ran and hid, and I was broken hearted. Now I just have to pray that my dad does not die too. I'm not coping very well, and...

Couldn't sleep then when I finally did, my nightmares are completely horrific again. Got to go up to the hospital tonight to see my dad. Anyone who looks like the attacker gives me flashbacks and I'm out the door. ( usually a 16 stone man with rolls of fat at the back of the neck trigger I...

Ive brought another book on decluttering and the grief recovery handbook for pets. I went and saw sybil ( like a second mum to me ) she let me pet her cat. It helped. Looking for ways people stay strong through difficuit times. I also had a flashback at the hospital I prayed on the bible to...

My father had a heart attack yesterday He has COPD Lung disease. They were going to do open heart surgery but he wouldn't have made it because he has to have oxygen. So they have put 4 stents in his heart and he is still alive. I will see him again tomorrow in intensive care. I feel angry at...

Everything is shoved back at the end of the bed My heart is broken

You asked what part of your trauma past or present makes you angry? If any injustice is done to me now I'm like a volcano of rage. How dare you think you can just push in front of me in the queue. ? I will say something and make them move. My anger is sometimes off the scale to the amount of...

My cat bubba is dead .

I'm so worried. Can't stop crying over my cat may be dying. I feel so ill. Bubba has got to go back to vets 5 days time. I think I need to get to my GP to get some valium as I'm finding it hard to cope. I'm better when people are straight are with me. As for the inspection, that's just the...

I've come home WITHOUT my cat. she's in hospital. I've just started to disassociate. My eyes start blinking and nothing goes in. I don't have any valium. I've gotta fight through this. How can I focus?

Mumo thank you. Brilliant ideas! I do remember when I had a boyfriend in the past that when he was coming over I would just pick up the whole table cloth with all the junk on it and just shove it in a box! Think your mum has the right idea! Great stress relief thinking I can pay someone to do...

Thank you for your kind answers really helped. My mum said " if you don't get a move on they will evict you" STRESS OVERLOAD so I'm gonna cheat. ! I only did the end of the bed. Under the bed is now stuffed with boots in shoe boxes and shoes. I have a plan. Shove everything in the loft and...

Haven' t posted on here as I can't work out to the quote when answering someone. I'm so stressed at moment. Tackled the hardest part first last night and moved all the junk from the end of the bed. 2 bags to recycle, 2 bags for clothing recycling, 2 bags of rubbish. Did it all in one go, took...

With the pile of clothes at the end of the bed...can you watch videos on YouTube that show how to fold clothes like the department stores? Then fold them, just a few a day and color coordinate them. Like, put the blues together going from dark to light then the reds together dark to light etc...

LUCY Cat your so right !!!!!! You got it one ! ( are you a clairvoyant?) However, I have to have a presentable home, when the housing association has to take pictures in every room and in the loft for a stock survey. I have no choice in this matter and have been putting this off. My...

I can only bring empathy to the original question : Suicidal ideation .. It's o.k to think these thoughts, JUST DON'T ACT UPON THEM! I was in the loft and came across a large piece of rope. I thought I needed that for some reason? Oh, yea I thought before I wanted to hang myself. I...
