I always try & look at in from the 3rd person. So for example I'm watching a film and this happens to someone, if I was a bystanding what would I do now to help this person? :)

I guess i dissaciotiate sort of from the panic or try my bedt to. Which is not the right thing to do. Infact ignoring things is part of what got me here. I'm not sure this will help but i get a hot water bottle for comfort, snuggle up with it and play soliataire on my phone. I try to control...

It's the advert that bothers me on english tv. Regarding a girl (who used to be in corronation street). It makes me feel so uncomfortable and usually triggers me. I remember being in that place in real life. I agree with your views awareness great but having to sit and watch it is horrible.

I suppose it could be this. Some of my trauma did happen at night and in the early hours. I feel safer sleeping in the day and rarely have a panic attack or nightmare when I sleep in the day.

I do this alot. It drives me nuts that I mess so many of my days up like this. I have sleeping tablets if needed but I end up sleeping in the next day. I don't know about anyone else but I sleep well in the day. I feel safer sleeping in the day.

If your memory is blocked can something still trigger that blocked memory? And if so how are you to find the trigger if you can't remember? I think this has alot to do with my nightmares and night time panic attacks. The subconcious mind. I wake up with panic attacks every night covered head...

Yeah you are deffinately clear. This is a total grey area with me. I'm hoping over time I can shed some light on this because it is very confusing. I have so many questions with no answers but I know this forum is super cool! The members here will all help. So when the question pops into my...

Yes, I am like that too. I'm not sure how to figure things out sometimes. If your memory is blocked can something still trigger that blocked memory? And if so how are you to find the trigger if you can't remember? It hurts my brain to think! I hope you are feeling okay today :)

Welcome!! :)

@Sheliakathy I agree with that also sometimes they are the best read

I have panic attacks at night, every night. I wake up and I look and feel like I've been in a shower! Mine experience is purely because I'm trying to hold on and control myself in the day so at night when I sleep it all piles to the fore front and gets me. I've been in the sleep clinic etc...

I want to thank all of you for the time and effort that have gone into your answers. It's nice to be here. People care and share experiences so you have more knowledge to combat yours. It is very humbling hear the stories and realising that after along time you are not alone. Explaining my...

@Nebulustrix I think I should also say that due to diassociation my list of traumatic events is not yet complete. I've been trying to do like a timeline to help me space out trauma instead of treating is as a single massive thing. I haven't successfully found a therapist and I am only just at...

Your story is very similiar to mine. However, I should of stated that aged 13 was just the 1st big trauma. The trauma's have persisted to follow me over the years. I feel like you I was on edge, ready to fight, to survive yet another crushing blow. My last traumatic events before my mental...

I read loads of books. When I want my safe haven I read my Harry Potter collection as it's the farthest thing from reality. I find this helps to keep me calm and gives me a sense of being childlike and being lost in a world of witches and wizards etc. I know to some it will sound silly but...

That would be cool by me but are you American? I'm English would it cost you a fortune? Or is there some transatlantic free messaging service? Do you guys get Watsapp? I will private message you my number anyways

No I meant me, I over think, that's why I just have one friend. And yes, if they were to ask you to work in a group or perhaps team building tasks? I'm not sure if this would be an option in History as I took business.

Me to @Missunderstood me too. I wish I could let my husband read my posts too but I can't. Sounds silly I know but you guys are different. You guys understand. You've either seen the dark side, witnessed it or are currently living in it. Everything you said rang true to my bones and I...

I'm not that great at ideas for friends but I do wish you well, over thinking is a killer and I'm afraid to say, it is a vice I possess. Perhaps you could get a hand from your Lecturer? Get him to put you together on a task? Then it's sort of out of your hands. Plus you all have your history...

Did you know your sister well enough to expect this of her? So you weren't as shocked when she did it? And the bullying, kids can turn on the eye of a needle, that must of been shocking - puzzling.

I was joking, making friends is no easy business! I only have 1 friend. I was just stereotyping I guess. I was trying to think of something that would help you break the ice? Maybe a common denominator? I do a Business & Management degree but struggling at the moment. Hope your doing well :)

Hi, I believe in something, as in theres some life after death, but deffinately not God! I've been an Atheist mist of my life but my Aunt is a spiritualist. Sometimes I watch her and think 'how the hell did she know that??!!??', so I guess I'm a Inbetweener of the two :)

Get some cake! Make out it was from a dinner party you had and share it with the history girls!!! Girls Love Cake - Fact!!! ;) P.s. This may also work with wine :D

Agreed, sometimes our loved ones aren't sure how to re-act, cope or understand. Perhaps it's frustration? You are supposed to make the people you love better when they are ill. Perhaps she feels abit helpless too. X

And people say that we are sick? That person needs looking at! Like soon!! That's a completely other disorder! Sad so sad!! It seems then that our lives are so much more interesting :) P.s. I really like the Banned sticker on her profile ;)
