Hey guys I'm really struggling at the moment how can I possibly move on from my trauma when I don't and can't understand what is happened I want to learn and grow from it and heal from it but how can I even do that when I'm so confused over it and still terrified by it it's so unfair I just...
Hi guys I'm writing because I'm quite nervous over the past few days I've been having random graphic thoughts and images in my head and they seem quite impulsive I took myself home but I don't want to tell my parents I'm nervous because I have overdosed before but this time I don't want to hurt...
I just have a lot of life and death experiences as well and I've been in the inbetween and with my heart condition I have always experienced life and death issues on top of everything else it just gets really tiring for me X
Thanks for replying back no I haven't touched upon the heart trauma with my therapist when I say hurt I feel it all over my body like actual pain like somebody's physically hurt me or something and I want to bend over and cry then again when I was an infant I had major surgery which was...
Hey guys so thugs have turned around for me and I'm pretty happy because things have been feeling magical for me lately I got a screenwriting course and now living in London again on my own but my trauma happened in the city so I have reminders and I feel like I don't deserve good things...
Thank you for all your help and support I had partial amnesia during my teenage years so looking back on those years all I remember is not remembering people but recognising their faces this happened after I couldn't breathe for three hours but now I get flashbacks of that the horror of being...
How can you heal from a severe trauma if you don't know what happened to you. I've come to the conclusion that my partial memory loss that happened to me at 16 was a protection from something that happened to me in my childhood. How can I face and heal my trauma when I don't even know what it is...
Thanks for your reply I'm doing a little better this week I say to myself I don't have to disappear I close my eyes and pretend that I don't have to face anything in my body instead not the best but working until I see my psychologist again the most confusing bit for me is not knowing where it's...
I'm at a really low point I feel so confused about my trauma and my child regression is getting worse and very disturbing I don't know if I was or not sexually abused but when I'm feeling like a child I'm terrified and when I come back to myself I feel I'm so much pain and so disturbed and my...
Thanks guys it's just when I feel four years old in my body that's I really want cuddly toys and I know why it's because it makes me feel safe in my body it's just when I don't feel four and I am back to my normal self that's when I worry because the feeling doesn't feel right and at 25 I don't...
I finally met with my psychiatrist on Saturday and I opened up to him about how I feel so scared in my body and how I feel like I want to be four years old and have a bear to comfort me, I think my voice became childish when I told him and I had to write it down, now I feel like I wished I...
Hi I'm 25 years old I've posted a couple of posts already on here. I'm quite distressed at the moment because I am not sure if this is dissociation but I have an issue with a child like voice when it happens I forget my age and I feel very scared and my body disturbed. I also love cuddly toys as...
Well to be honest I'm pretty nervous to go back to therapy and nervous to mention these feelings to a therapist! I don't know how they would react if I told them but I have a combinations of trauma too so it's pretty daunting and frightening going back into therapy and trying to face everything...
hi so I don't know if I've been sexually abused or not as a young child by a family member, this is hard for me to write because I've been shoving the feelings down in my gut as it is my father while I'm concerned about.
First of all I love him and still live him and have a very happy family...
Hi I don't know if this makes sense but do any of you get the feeling sometimes that your traumatic memories are like they didn't happen to you. Lately I've been feeling like my memories of my trauma are not mine or didn't happen to me or none of it existed but I know they are real because I...
Remember you are strong and a survivor and that you deserve better I've been through and am going through these same feelings I promised myself I would never be suicidal again because I don't want to be defeated how ever scary and frighting this world may seem I will not let it over take me...
hi so I posted about this issue a few weeks ago but because I'm waiting for therapy I'm just going to post another one because I feel like there are more people on this forum who can help me.
A few weeks ago I posted saying that I believe my father could have sexually abused me in some way...
Hi I just read your post and thought I might help. It sounds like you have ptsd and are dealing with trauma this can lead to flashbacks. I think it would be good to try and make your body feel as safe as possible as coming from experience our childhood has a huge impact on us I'm no doctor but...
ok guys so I know I probably am going to sound like I'm for the looney bin already and I'm quite aware that I may sound like a crazy whack job on here but apart from this issues I'm honestly quite down to earth.
I think I was sexually abused by father. At the moment I still live with him and...
I used to have panic episodes for three hours at school I would ask a teacher to sit with me sometimes I had to go home but I kept asking the person to tell me I'm fine and safe I would get muscle spasms too I would repeat I'm safe to myself over and over again and hug for my body my teacher...
Hi does anyone suffer from severe chil regression I'm 25 and I've had suffered from child regression since I was 16 it really disturbs me I speak like a child and want to be four years old desperately I also get really attached to cuddly toys and feel really disturbed and terrified and I know...

I don't know if this is similar thing to you I just read your post but I sometimes get nightmares or sleep disturbance when my whole body feels like it is in pain it's not physical pain exactly but it's like my body just wants to crawl up into a ball under the covers until it stops it's not...
