Ive been dissociating for a few days now and have avoided going on the forum and talling to people. Today I decided to take a small step to atleast post on the forum, which I have :) not a massive improvement as I haven't left home, however still an improvement :)

Im feeling: Alone Cautious Scared Anxious Depressed Confused Angry. My anxiety has overwhelmed me today :( I also keep thinking that someone is going to come into my room and get me (my abuser did this often at night).

Yes all the time :(

I think the best thing to do would be to have a calm talk with your girlfriend about the communication problems you feel are occurring (as well as the other problems of course). Explain to her how communication is important to you and although you know it is hard for her to talk to you, she can...

Yes that happens to me a lot lol. Sometimes I go days where I don't feel up to posting anything but still read what others have put.

1 Hour away from Leeds =)

That's what happens to me every time I get a flashback. As for the question, I have no clue why she may have asked that. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, I would recommend telling her how this question has made you feel. It is very distressing and annoying (especially if you're out). Hope you...

@BloomInWinter Thank you for the great advice. I haven't really been giving her a chance to do any of that, which I should. I'm so scared to share though. I have a bad habit of panicking and then avoiding the situation. I think I'm going to tell her all my fears with sharing during my next...

Thank you everyone for the support and I apologise for getting back late. @MissMacD Not at the moment, I am seeing a general T who will then refer me to a specialist after 6 weeks I think. It makes it harder knowing I'll be talking to someone else but It's how the system works where I am. Yeah...

During last weeks session I was told that this weeks (today's session) I would need to talk about my abuser and what he had done to me. I have not told her very much at all about it and she is trying to get me to be more open about it, although I usually just try and ignore it or push it away...

Welcome to the forum Chantal! Was a pleasure speaking with you! If you need anything just give me a shout :) x

You're very welcome RussH :) I'm glad that the bullying has stopped. Are you seeing a therapist? They will be able to help you with this, especially if you find one you trust. You may not be able to go back and change it but you always are in control of your future :) xxx

I am at university at the moment, so I can't do much with the room apart from rearrange it. I have had rolling flashbacks, they are the worst. I am sorry that you are having them as I know how horrible the experiences can be, also about the bullying, no one deserves to be bullied. Is there...

I have already done that, it didn't work :( What new symptoms have you developed? If you don't mind me asking.

Not my room, but yes another bedroom and mine at the moment reminds me of it.

I don't know if this helps in the slightest but since I had my last flashback, I'm scared of my room (as well as sleeping). I didn't get much sleep to begin with but it is much worse. So I guess it could cause other problems? lol

Yes mine did that too. I felt like I could talk to no one, except to him for many years. Every time he'd do something to me, he'd say he was doing it for me, to make me feel better. I have nightmares about this all the time. It makes me feel like it was my fault. He was always there when I was sad.

I can't help as much is I'd like to as I have recently just been told I have PTSD and haven't been going to therapy long enough to understand whats going on myself. But I do know how you feel and what you're going through if that helps. I feel likeI forgive my abuser but at the same time I...

I have that, with me though, I get these 'nightmares' during the day and it makes me feel like I'm going crazy =(.

Hi 21152, Thank you. I'm glad I'm on here as it makes me realise im not alone and not the only one. =)

Hello again Ms Spock. It was lovely talking to you too! Thank you for making me feel welcomed here and helping me out with using the forums. Hope you are well.

Hi Tolkeinian, nice to meet someone else here who is new =) It is so stressful, especially when there are deadlines going on and having to deal with this at the same time. I love Disney haha! good choice on film and song lol
