I said that I had made a promise with my T to stay safe but that I didn't know if I could keep it. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I found another number I could try that but it's awkward as I don't have much privacy at the moment

When I phoned I told them I was having thoughts but she just asked me if I'd seen any bodies and if I helped anyone - I couldn't and I feel so guilty about that. There's no way I could tell my parents it would break their hearts. Thank u justmehere I'm not on any meds but I think she wants me...

I'm sorry I know u all have ur own stuff going on x

Thank u for ur replies. I have absolutely no idea what I need that's the problem. Maybe I just need to talk to one one about it. I tried a helpline before but they made me worse by asking lots of triggering questions. I don't know what I expect u guys to do but I didn't know who else to speak...

Oh sorry Yeah I'm out but staying at my parents

Out? Sorry not sure what u mean. I'm at home-can't go out anywhere on my own due to surgery. Honesty it's fine I'll figure it out

I have another week before I see her. Never mind it doesn't matter

Hey So I've been feeling really low for a long while and made a plan to end it all. Ended up telling my T and she was great. This happened just a few weeks ago. I went on holiday which is a major trigger for me but on the plane it was like somebody just switched the anxiety off. It was the...

Thanks very much x

I see her every 2 weeks for an hour at the moment. We have done grounding work, relaxation/breathing and a wee bit of exposure therapy. The breathing and safe place idea are what I've been taught to use but I find it difficult to do when I'm panicking. Yeah I'm scared that if I go back to that...

We have the nhs in the UK so there are limits to how long you can be in therapy I think. I would need to find a private therapist I think. It's frustrating as I'm only just now starting to open up to her and that's been nearly a year. Yeah I speak to the psychiatrist and see what he has to say...

Yeah she said we would have a couple more sessions so I'll have a chat with her about it - part of the problem is I still find it hard to actually say out loud what's in my head but that's something I need to figure out for myself. I will do that thanks very much for ur advice x

I'm not sure I could ask but is there any point if they can't help anymore? The thought of having to deal with it all on my own is so scary. I'm just not keen on having to rely on medication to feel ok. It just sucks. I'm really sorry ur having a tough time too. Hugs xxx

Hiya not been on for a while so apologies- have been dealing with a lot of stuff Saw my T on Monday and she wanted to do a review to see whether it was helping or not. She feels I'm getting better as I had a good couple of weeks however only 4-6 weeks ago I went to a really dark place. I'm...

Thank u aut555 for ur reply. Yeah the trip is stressing me out the attack happened when we were on holiday last year.im not on any regular meds although I do have some to relax me to get on the plane. Spoke to my T today and she wants me to see a psychiatrist . Not keen tbh

I generally have an idea what my triggers are but sometimes they do take me by surprise. Yeah the theory is that the more u are exposed to it the less it will bother u. That's the theory anyway and it's not quite happened for me yet. Don't be scared of it tho it'll be worth it all when u feel...

Hiya I'm doing that just now - I have to go to places and watch videos that trigger me. It's hard so u need to be prepared for the worsening of ur symptoms anxiety etc initially but it does get easier. Not sure how long it will take u -I'm still doing it and it's been a few months. Anything...

I'm really struggling today. I'm going on holiday in a couple of days - this is a trigger for me after the attack. I promised my T that I could keep myself safe but I'm not sure I can. I phoned a helpline and they were useless - just wanted to talk about the details of the attack, not about...

Hi sherry I'm so sorry u feel like this. I would probably tell them-especially if u have plans. I just told mine last week and I'm not going to lie it was awful and terrifying (in my experience) but the only way they can help is to know exactly what's going on. U have to trust that they are...

Aw thank u! Hugs always greatly appreciated! It's so hard to see any good things just now but I'll keep plodding on and hopefully things will get better x

Are u ok? X

Thank u. I'm glad ur safe just now I hope it stays that way. I'm just worried she tells my GP and it's on my medical records so their forever. I'll speak to her about it next session. Thank u x

Thank u and I hope u keep having good days x

Hiya yeah I get days where I've made plans and nearly gone through with them but somehow I've managed to stay safe by thinking about my family and the people who died in the attack-they never got a choice. I'm OK today though. I've never had to deal with thoughts like this before its pretty scary.

Thank u. Ur posts really help. I'll get rid of them. Thank u for the pm offer -am doing OK today but will get in touch if im stuck. thanks x
