Awh I feel like that too! Especially about my body. Perfectionism sucks! And congratulations on starting your hobbies! I have various hobbies that i like doing but none have ever been finshed. What kind of art do you do?
awh, my heart goes out to you lovely! It really saddens me that your mother doesnt take your side. I dont agree with her. I think your very strong and could cope on your own! Perhaps it isn't the best advice but moving out i think would help you as it would decrease your stress levels. I just...
wow I didn't realise I sounded strong. I am having a couple of really bad days. Thank you @Radise your comments have really helped me. Awh thank you! I hope you find good support too. :)
I did get that angry too. i would suggest Karate, or jujitsu as sports. And another way of getting rid of anger was for me to smash plates. I went and bought some cheap and I meant dirt cheap plates and just smashed them. Perhaps it could help you too?
Hi, thank you for sharing. I havent a clue about your medication sorry, BUT I don't think you are insane! I do know that I have been irritated easily and comments that really wind me up. Other questions just make me breakdown in tears. go back to the Dr and ask about the side affects and ask if...
I am so sorry to hear that you are having suicidal thoughts and the money situation. Have you considered getting a sick note from the doctor and going on sickness benefit? That way you could possibly limit the stress of having to work. All I can say is embrace the days where you can't find the...
I agree. I too have written a journal and gave that to my counsellor to read. It helped me at the start of my counselling when I was still at university. Don't beat yourself up about not being able to talk about it. I know its easy to say and difficult to do. When you notice that you are beating...
Hello, welcome to this forum :)
i to have nightmares, mainly consist of running away or drowning. I meditate by focusing on my breathing then i push thoughts out my head or i let a thought come into my head and then let it go. Sometimes I used Headspace (app for smartphone). This helped me with...
Welcome @Tia72 Congratulations is making a post! Its not easy but no one here judges you. We are all in the same boat! I hope you feel better soon! Its hard knowing what to write too. I re-wrote and re-wrote my introduction lots of times.
Hello , I'm sorry to hear that. I too have blocked people out. But the way forward is to open up to thse who you find it hard to. Although your wife may not undersatnd completely confide in her. Congratulations for leaving and for getting help. It is a big step that is scary. I too have the...
Well done for sharing! I'm so glad you did. It does sound like PTSD any similar experience that you can make a link to the old experience will bring back memories and feelings. I hope things with your new therapist works out well.
Thank you! I was worried it would not read right. I don't have a problem today discussing things as I feel numb, withdrawn from it. Don't be sorry because when I come through this I will be a really strong person!
My heart really goes out to you kyle. I wish I could help you. I haven't been to any therapies I am only seeing a Dr every 2 months for a talking and understanding my illness type thing. I suggest the same thing go with a trusted friend, or two. Its not unlikely all of you will be hypnosised...
Hi there Nikki,
You English is fine. I understand all of it. I'm also new to this forum. I am so sorry to hear that you childhood was full of traumatic experiences. Its great to hear you love music. I used to play the cornet and guitar but I have sold my cornet and I don't play my guitar...
Thank you for sharing. It is interesting I too was diagnosed with anxiety and depression before transferring to the GP that specialised in mental health. I was put on anti depressants which made me worse. My memory is atrocious. Both my long term ans my short term. It is very difficult to talk...
Hi Everyone,
First I have to apologise for the way this is written. I have a few disabilities which makes my writing not make much sense or will be in an illogical order.
I am 20 years old and I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD in February this year and I had to leave university then and have...
Hello,
I too am very distrustful and have been told I push people to the point of rejection. I would also like to meet other sufferers in the UK too. I have pets too, I have three cats which mostly like staying outdoors so not much for company.
