The get together in Birmingham was such a success I thought I'd try to organise one in Bristol. I was thinking maybe 23rd June? If you are interested please post your comments. Thanks, hope to see you there!

Incorrect use spelling, such as are/our, where/were, practice/practise, there/their. Also a lack of paragraphs, if I see a long post with no breaks I generally avoid it, my brain can't take it!

Hi Ashley, my gp prescribed Amitryptyline to help with my sleep, its an antidepressant but at a lower dose it helps me sleep through the night. I don't take it every night, usually take for a week at a time to help reset my body clock when my sleep is very disturbed

Hi Darrell Welcome to the forum. PTSD is not curable, you learn to manage your symptoms through the guideance of a good therapist & sometimes medication can be helpful too. During therapy things can feel much worse but that's good it shows that you are reprocessing your trauma & on your way to...

KP, No wonder you are triggered & drained! Go walk the dogs then be kind to yourself & relax!!

(((((((hugs))))))) KP rotten isn't it, all I can say is those feelings will get less frequent, maybe not soon but sometime in future when you least expect it, then you'll find there's been a day with no flashback, then 2 days and so on. Hang on in there KP, you're very strong & are working...
