We will all remind you Amethist! :hug:

Well done Catt, such great courage to turn your back on the past & say goodbye to it all.

Lol KP, this does seem to be a long week. Looking forward to chatting on 5th!

This is a great idea KP, I miss using the chat room. I'll be there!

It's a horrible feeling Britt. I don't feel it quite so much now but on days when i dont feel well physically or life just gets a bit too much there are times when i could happily stay in bed! It can be quite small things that trigger it off, like not being able to do something or my biggest...

Thanks for your post Britt its very reassuring to hear that. Its my mitral valve thats damaged & leaking. A suggestion about how to fill your days. When i was going through that I would make a list before going to bed so that I had something to look forward to. Some days it would only be to...

Numb...... After all the hard work to recover from PTSD I am now fighting physical illness. For the first time in many years I was looking forward to christmas & new year. I've made plans, enjoyed buying gifts & made plans to stay with family. My annual dread of this time of year seems to...

Sorry to read you post KP. How are you now? Hope you had a good day with your daughter & it helped you through a difficult time.

Gizmo, what's grinders?

Oh what a shame Amethist, thank goodness for Skype! I'm in much the same position, I'd planned to spend christmas week with my sons & their families in Devon, but my body has decided differently! I've been unwell for a while now & yesterday was diagnosed with heart failure which will mean...

Great news Ice Fire, so pleased you've found something to help you.

I am so sorry to read this Discarded. I went through this with my ex-husband 5yrs ago, soul destroying isnt it? Please try to understand that is probably nothing to do you, with who or what you are or have done, I think with age & passing time some people take a longer look at their lives & how...

My panic attacks have passed now but at the time I felt like an unknown person had taken over my body, a horrible feeling of knowing what was happening but being unable to control it. Thank goodness for my fantastic T who showed me the way to beat them.

Thanks everyone. It's really good having your support. This is not a subject many people understand, the back lash of ptsd & all that comes with it. 5 yrs ago I was fit, healthy, went to drs on rare occasions & didn't take sick leave. Now I seem to be there all the time & have this constant...

An update - It turns out the problem I have is nothing to do with Citalopram, my cardiologist has given the all clear to carry on with Cit but to reduce the dose when possible. So, I'm waiting for more tests.........

Hi Littletrees I'm so sorry you are having a bad time with EMDR, how long have you been doing it? I think I felt worse for a good 6mths before I realised how much it had helped me. Make sure that your therapist is following the guidelines, you must have plenty of preparation time before the...

I'm just wondering is anyone has experienced a problem with their heart rhythm after being on Citalopram long term. I've been taking 40mg Cit for 31/2 yrs and although my GP had told me about Long QT syndrome http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Safetyinformation/DrugSafetyUpdate/CON137769 so far I've been...

Hi Katz Well done for taking that decision, that's the first step on your road to recovery. I'm sure it has been a tough one but take some pride in the fact that you are looking after yourself. A few years ago I would have said stay away from meds but, having taken them I now know their...

I am so sorry to hear you've had such bad experiences with EMDR. I was so lucky to engage in this therapy with my psychologist, it has been my life saver. Yes its very tough to go through but the results are amazing. Please, if you have the opportunity to try it again with another therapist...

I've just completed the survey. Very easy to answer questions.

Yay, Kris Kringle has arrived! It's now hidden away from my beady eyes......

Hi Sues Welcome to PTSD forum. I hope you find all the support & hope for the future you deserve here, as a fellow domestic abuse survivor I know I have. I'm sure you have many memories to work through, I'm willing to listen if it will help. Take care

I'm writing mine today!!!!

I'll be happy to complete the survey.
