Hi, it's been a long time since I posted here, but I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around this one, and have been struggling with this issue for a long time. On Sept 30, my husband said to me--in the context of a long list of questions of the things he does not force me to do--"I did force...

I feel so lost and alone. I don't know where to go or what to do to cope with this. I need some support, and I don't see my therapist again for a week. It's going to be a hard week in a lot of ways. I told her I would be okay but I'm not really... What should I do??? I want to find a place...

Hello everyone... I am new here. I have been on the PTSD forum for a number of months, but have been away lately because I have been doing a support group for SA survivors, among other things. But it is taking a lot of my energy to deal with it. I guess that is why I joined here, finally...

I was having an online conversation with my partner, and he asked me if he could ask me some questions about my past. I said OK, and he asked me a few things, in particular about my aversion to ball gags. He also asked me about being tied up. This is in regard to my ex, with whom I have a lot...

I am feeling depressed. Post-seasonal... whatever I guess. I am still recovering from a long week and not sleeping the night of Christmas eve at all because I had so much to do... I didn't finish till 6 AM and there was no point going to be for 2 hours or less even if I could have slept...

I had therapy today. Not anything heavy as I am worn out from all Xmas prep. But we had been previously talking about my feelings of being responsible, and feeling like it is my fault I was abused. This week my partner came scarily close to killing himself, and I somehow managed to help him...

For once, I went to see what my mother wanted... Just felt like I should because I usually avoid conversations with her. Well, once again, I remember why it is I do that. I started to tell her about the Christmas shopping I did... Not that I can confide in her at all, but you'd think that...

Hi... I had therapy today. Got to a certain point and my T and I got to be talking about my feeling that being abused was my fault. She said that children who are abused have no choice but to blame themselves. She asked if that made sense to me, and I said not exactly (why would a child have...

I came home from my therapy appointment--which I still have to deal with--but I am seriously pissed, and yes it is a small thing but it makes me very angry. I went on Facebook because my partner usually leaves me a message each day, and his eldest child had a post about her immigration status...

This is actually a thread in the "chit chat" section, but is very, very long with many responses. So I thought I would be better off sharing my reaction to that in a separate thread of my own. It just really brought something to focus for me, and I am wondering if any one else experiences...

I kind of hesitate to post this here, because I don't want to seem like I am minimizing someone else's pain... But I found that someone else's post really affected me. I think because I relate so much, even though our issues are different. It made me grateful to be alive, but to be honest...

In the shallow end of the pool, because right now I am just really afraid. And also I posted somewhere else (which is generally a supportive site) and only one person answered and no one seemed to really relate or understand what I was going through--and it was hard to post at all. I have...

Hi, I have a severe and multifaceted form of PTSD (complicated PTSD) and have had a lot of traumatic experiences in my life. I have been working on myself continuously since I was 18 years old and am now 34. As a result, I still have PTSD that has a significant impact on my life now, but at...
