Are u okay? :(

Thanks for that. Inam fortunate to be finding this forum and all your knowledge at diagnosis stage. I will take all your suggestions and use them as they can only benefit my recovery.

That is awful! The horrible git! He obviously was very bitter. Although if you look at the positive (if possible) you didn't stoop to his level and if they were his true colours you did well to see them when you did - bless you. It sounds a very very painful and hurtful experience. It also...

Wow that's really helpful! I read alot as it's my escapism. I will deffinately give this one a whirl it sounds like a book for the stage I'm at - thank you

Hello & welcome! I'm new here too! I'm just at diagnosis so I can't begin to match your experience or answer your question. However, I wanted you to know that I took the time to read your post. There are a vast range of people on this forum that will be able to advise you and also those that...

I do have my moments :D

Yes agreed - I don't like the Criminal Injuries System either I think this article has annoyed alot of people for a variety of reasons. It's like just when you were sat thinking that life wasn't fair, you read this article and It certainly adds weight to your theory :/

I feel the same it's great! I am so telling my Doctor about the positive effect this forum has had on me. It's a bit surreal, as you say misunderstood and out of place, and then all of a sudden 'Click' and you just slot in here! I'm loving this thanks to you all - Group hug? Lol :)

Well if we are traumatic together who knows??? Today it's a therapist, tomorrow the world!!! (Or at least a decent shopping centre ;). Xx

It's really got me thinking more positive! It's so nice to meet people who are suffering same or similiar - This is going to sound cheesey but........I finally feel like I belong to something,even with PTSD! It's very liberating :D

Excuse my lack of knowledge ........who is paying for this half a million? If it's down to the ambulance service or local health authority - thats going to cause other cut backs etc etc And the NHS is paid for by the tax payer? So I bet the majority of sufferers and supporters have suffered...

Oh my Gosh Foxglove you are seriously my traumatic twin. My story is identical to yours so far. This is the 1st place I've found I can be honest. You know, without wrapping it up nicely or watching how much you let on. I'm so glad of the support. I feel meeting people like you and others on...

That's encouraging, it's not the Therapist, it's me. I guess I'm stubborn anyway and can be a bit of a rebel so if we do the maths:- Rebel+Stubborn+Denial+Therapist= Disaster! Lol - I will try harder next time but I like the 'give them the boot' bit ;)

Thank you! I have had a very warm welcome from all :)

Thank you Foxglove, therapy noted, I had one therapist but I think he wanted to send me back where I came from lol .........On to the next one then

Well this is what I wanted to say! However, being a newbie I waited for someone else to do it for me! You have made me laugh!

Thank you Loner. Child abuse is my background also. Bottled away for 21 years whilst I tried my best to remain as 'part of the family'. To me PTSD is the culimination of years and years of hurt, sadness, fear, confusion, frustration & disbelief - as you rightly say piece by piece, bit by bit...

It is impossible for an ambulance to be late surely - they aren't taxi's. Working for the health service and how many cut backs I've seen, I would say she was lucky at 17 minutes. Also in Wimbledon, a very busy part of the country, traffic would surely be a factor?. As to her trauma, I'm not...

Its a big step to accept it, just the diagnosis. I guess I'm struggling with adjusting to living with PTSD. And honestly, I'm angry at the people that treat me badly and put me here. Yet they seem to glide smoothly through life. I need a better Therapist I think

Hope so because my tool box is empty so far. Eighteen month's in and I'm still not got past the starting line! I don't know what I've done in my 'moment of madness', but I've hurt my toe!! I know you're thinking 'Idiot' lol .

So this morning I was fine. Now having realised that one day I will have to put on my armour and do battle with the vile thing that is PTSD, I am having complete meltdown. Panic attacks on on the scene at the moment hence I'm trying to write to you for help & welcomed distraction. I just...

It's like all of you know & I don't have to explain - your like 'yep been there girlfriend!' - it's sooo comforting, like a breath of fresh air for me - thanks 2 all of you

You are like the PTSD motivators! Which is exactly what I need now been stuck here long enough. Your positives have made me feel better today & I know theres hope for me yet lol! I will take both of your advice on board because it's genuine, from someone who knows. This is the first time I've...

Hi, I know your right. It's just the way I look at it. See to accept the PTSD I also have to accept the various types of abuse I've suffered over the years. If I am to accept that then I'm not sure I can function. I guess I'm stuck. You have got abit further on your journey I see. I look...

To admit, to accept, any of it really, still holding on to that old happy me - if I accept this then I brand myself (my personal opinion), if I don't accept it I can't get better. It's a lose/lose situation.
