    Weird Empty Feeling

    So the last few weeks have been pretty rough due to several deaths and recovering from surgery, but now I just have this weird empty feeling. Before, my head was full of thoughts whirling around like a tornado but now it just feels completely empty. I find myself just staring at a wall or the tv...

    Death Multiple Deaths

    So this has been the roughest few weeks I think I've ever experienced. My friend lost her baby and a colleague died, and today my friend died after battling cancer for the last 2 years. Although we thought she would make it till Christmas. I'm starting to think that it's me-that the people...

    Working With A Personal Trainer Having Ptsd

    For me it's because I go into flight or fight when my heart races so exercising can bring on a panic attack

    Working With A Personal Trainer Having Ptsd

    Hiya morphius As a fitness instructor who also has a pt, it's really important that u tell them-u don't need to disclose any other information. If u dobt feel comfortable telling them about the ptsd just say u have panic attacks. This is something I struggle with too-when my heart races it...

    Terrified At The Thought Of Ending Therapy

    Hi guys just thought I'd give u an update. Had a session with T yesterday. Don't know how it happened but she just seemed to ask the right question and a whole load of stuff re guilt etc just came flooding out. She said she had no idea about any of it but it seemed to make sense to her. We never...

    Undiagnosed Robbed At Gunpoint At Work

    Hi Bree What an awful thing to go through - no wonder you are terrified. As the other guys said you need time to process what has happened. This is a normal response to what u have been through. The guidelines in the UK say that if you are still having issues a month after then you should get...

    Really Not Sure About Exposure Therapy.

    Hi @Lee2001 I'm really sorry I'm no use to you but I am exactly the same -I posted last week about the very same thing. I'm being discharged from therapy even though a few weeks ago I admitted to having suicidal thoughts-which was a huge thing to do as I too a good at making everyone think I'm...

    Wondering If I Will Make It

    OK the picture didn't work but here's what it said: Don't try to overhaul your life overnight Instead, focus on making one small change at a time Over time, those small changes will add up to a big transformation. DON'T GIVE UP! :hug:

    Can't Fight The Suicidal Thoughts

    I always accept hugs thank you :) The loneliness is one of the toughest parts I think. I used to always be surrounded by people but now I just want to stay at home. I really like my T but I understand the pressures of the NHS-I can't keep seeing her if there's nothing else she can do and I'm...

    Terrified At The Thought Of Ending Therapy

    Oh thank you @Sweet_E I'll have a look at it but that actually describes it perfectly! My T is trying to stop me from being in the gym so much - maybe this is why, although I do use the gym as a way to block everything out too. I'm really not a fan of meditation although I do know it helps-I...

    Terrified At The Thought Of Ending Therapy

    @Sherry It really is awful-I know they can't be their forever but to go from regular contact to absolutely nothing is such a big shock. At least you have this group but it's not the same. Is there a local support group u could access? @Sweet_E me too! Unfortunately I don't get a choice but...

    Terrified At The Thought Of Ending Therapy

    I think you are right Angela and hopefully when I see her next week I can ask more questions and have the nerve to tell her my concerns. It completely came out of the blue. I just feel that we have started but not finished things- for example she asked me to write down my thoughts a few months...

    Future Is Unknown

    So sorry to hear what u are going through. I really hope u kick this cancer in the ass!!! It's understandable why u would feel like u can't make any plans but just remember this-the Dr's don't always get it right! My friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 3-6 months. That was nearly...
