This forum or lifeline. Lifeline is a crisis hotline in australia,

Thanks everyone for your responses, they make a lot of sense, I'm having trouble opening my self up to Greiving my losses, mostly personally losses you know Cptsd. . I'm sort of half in denial and half in anger. Verbal ventilation is what I desire most. But it's so hard to talk. About anything...

I'm curious to see what you all associate the word Greiving with? I heard a few years back that grieving the death of a loved one is a selfish thing to do because your not grieving for the person that died, your Greiving for the loss of that person in your own life. Personally I have never...

Would you expect to "get past" diabetes? Cancer? Etc? No sweetie we don't just get past it, we work on recovery. My favorite saying is "it works if you work it so work it because your worth it" In the end we did survive but we didn't live, or learn those coping strategies that normal folk...

It's tough no doubt about it, and I commend you for pursuing a career to help others, So far what is working for me is intense recovery time, I'm doing this through a therapist whom I trust completely, and a lot of self help. Pete Walkers book surviving to Thriving is working well for me to...

Society gets to me too, so bad at the moment I can't work or leave the house without major anxiety kicking in, I don't watch the news, and in the book I'm working through it actually says that we shouldn't watch too much of it, it can rigger inner and outer critic barrage of ourselves. Now.. I...

Hi everyone, Just wondering if I could get some of your experiences I changing meds.. I've been on sertraline zoloft for 6 mths after a yrs break after 7 yrs on it, we won't go into why I stopped and how it effected me.. I suffered a major breakdown about 6 mths ago with severe generalized...

Welcome silent one, I came here for support also, though it was from research and googling that I found this wonderful forum. So thumbs up to you and your therapist ☺ Once again welcome. Killa

I totally understand that. I am finding it etremely difficult at the moment with my next step of hopeful recovery. The self love. Most of the time I can't bear to look in the mirror with out seeing the slut. Those stupid self affirmations how can they work when you don't believe them. With...

To This is an assumption, please don't take it the wrong way, but I would think that the weakness she loathes is your strength that she desires most of all.

Your welcome, I'm glad it's helpful. I am always so unsure when posting. I didn't realize until just recently, I've been putting a lot of effort into recovery and really looking into the psychology of it all, because she reared her ugly bitch face again after a few years of good behaviour...

Omg I have that same sort of problem. I have a sabotaging bitch alter. For me she is the one who has all the repressed memories and she uses men, a rebound action from my childhood abuse. To make her feel good and powerful. Getting thier junk hot and wanting is enough of a kick for her...

What you want to do is very admirable and I commend you on you knowing yourself that we'll to recognize the difficulties you may face, I too did so volunteer work with the homeless and less fortunate in my town a few back. I was on the what I like to call the frontline of volunteering. I have...

I wouldn't have a clue. It seems silly to me for us to be in euro vision. A euro party would be awesome! I take it your in seclusion like me.. I don't do social gatherings at all at the moment.

Might be because we're still under the monarchy of Great Britain.

I have been off work for 5 mths now due to uncontrollable social anxiety. Whenever I leave the home I shake uncontrollably and can't walk or talk properly. I've been doing a lot of ptsd recovery while incapacitated and while my mental health seems to be doing ok and my overall physical health is...

Your trauma is your truth, nobody else's. It's not insignificant at all. I completely understand how you feel in that respect, there are times when you want to isolate yourself . That's ok. But don't leave, just take a break. It will be important for you to know that we're here. And we need...

If your after a link, look back at how you were abused, from what you've written it sounds like your mother compared you to someone you held respect for like a older brother or sister... or you just weren't good enough. Or something else but I have no Intel on that judgement. Look deeper to...

I like that! I could work with that. Thanks ☺

HI all, Im wondering if anyone has as much trouble as I am having with positive affirmations to help recover from our trauma. I am having major issues with the self accepting affirmations and the I'm good enough affirmations. I copied a list from pete walkers book surviving to Thriving, as...

Very true

There's nothing wrong with feeling emotions like that. It's a part of your relationship that's lacking. It's normal. It's not that sufferers don't want that emotional connecton too.. we do.. we just feel so isolated and unworthy of that type of attention. From my experience. I wish I could be...

I had a spending problem. It was bad enough that I would spend my limited income on frivolities and then use the food bank to get our staples for the week. I was basically cutoff from spending. I stopped "window shopping" and "bargin hunting" I reduced the amount of time I was within shopping...

I am freaking out right now, this second.. I am writing g to try and switch my brain over to logical left... I can't stop shaking and my heart is pumping, I feel like I'm in danger of being in trouble.. I don't want to be in trouble. My mother just messaged me... she wants to come see us. I...
