I do wonder if it is possible to have a trauma free life. Theoretically yes but it just seems like a pipe dream but if I can achieve this then it would be best for me to keep away from people. It's not just the trauma it's also the total lack of understanding I have about the world. Being...

I had the meeting last week with the mental heath worker and while it was obviously a good thing it hurt as well. I said to the worker that I have had no one fighting my corner and yet other have expected me to fight theirs. Friends, lovers, sidekicks, forget it. Instead its scum left, right...

Evening all. I had the meeting yesterday and it was decided that my case would be discussed with a psychologist to see what could be done. I got a bit emotional and the f*ing flashbacks were driving me mad but I did it.Now I'll have to wait and see xx

Thanks.Will talk about it tomorrow.

Got an appointment today.

One aspect of trauma is that you realise that no-one gives a damn about you. I keep realising that yet I still go back to clinging onto people and I still get hurt. It happened again a couple of weeks ago. The cold hard truth that i'm virtually alone in this world lef me to have a meltdown and...

Thanks have started on chit chat. Got another appointment tomorrow

snap, have tried eveything. my brain feels like its mangled.

F*ck social media

Im not an artist as in paint etc but I do dabble with Adobe etc.

Evening all. Just popping in to see how everyone is.

I dont know about dissociation as such but there are days when I wake up from dreams/nightmares that are so vivid it takes a few minutes when I wake up to realise that it was a dream.

I think I understand. Don't rely on people who either can't understand or aren't bothered.

5.50 this morning. Sitting at the desk clutching my head and close to tears, so fed up of the pain.

I don't know if this will ring any bells but I'm putting it out there. Trying to recover from trauma involves finding a support network. That's something I've never had. I've gone through life pretty much on my own and every achievement Ive gained has been a hollow one because the warmth of...

I'd never heard of that application either until I read the article. But I do understand the fantasy aspect. With the meltdown I had it was because I was using F**ecbook as a crutch to get in touch with people who I did know years ago but in the cold light of day only had me as a"friend" to...

I agree its not a universal truth. I don't know the full facts of the OP's situation and I'm certainly not going to ask either. I do engage in para-social activities myself via volunteering and my realisation that my online relationships were simply ones with people who didn't give damn about me...

I don't think its a case of being "unwantable"as you call it. Online or "parasocial" relationships are becoming more common and from what I understand about them one person in the "relationship" invests everything into it and gets nothing or is "ghosted" in return. The only way anyone can get...

Thanks to all of you. I feel I'm hogging the limelight here so I'll see if I can help anyone on the forum. Thank you once again.

I never I've never thought of it that way. I was diagnosed with what was then termed aspergers syndrome over a decade ago and i felt both relieved and ashamed (for the record i also have dyspraxia and feel the same way) but over the last 4 years probably as a result of the trauma of 2021-22...

Hello all. Just got back. Im going to be referred to a coping trauma group and take it from there.

My last post before my appointment tomorrow. I was reading the paper today and there as a story about a woman who like me had had breakdowns and had bounced across the health system. She said she felt like the final chocolate in a tin that was being passed around and no one would take her Story...

Its an interesting theory. I've found myself jumping the fence because following the herd just makes things worse. I travel as much as i can to give me some respite. The further and farther I am from my home town (and its small town mentality) the better. Like many people I wish i could win...

Wish I was at peace. I found out I was autistic a long time ago and despite everything I've tried to ease my mind its still horrible. For me life with autism is like driving a car down the motorway at 150mph with no lessons. Its pile up after screeching halt after near miss.
