Everything's okay now. I think my anxiety about it was just because I am so used to people trying to control me and being unpredictable. Thanks everybody for your support and advice.

I told him by text. And I've taken a new house that I will move into in two weeks. I think this is going to be an awkward two weeks but nbow i've done it it's okay. And he was okay with my by text. Now I just have to find a new job :-)

I have a very simple one page sort of tenancy agreement. It is for a month to month tenancy.

No, I'm a lodger which in British law means that I have nothing to protect me, no deposit and i'm not afforded the same rights as a tenant. For example my landlord has a right to enter my room whenever he chooses. As for going whenever I wanted, I am a decent person, there is a way that things...

No I can't afford to do that I am off ill at the moment because my flashbacks have got too bad to work. But they are bad because I feel completely stuck here and that feeling of being stuck is what triggers me.

Yes I have a lock. No to the money, i'm getting a little in debt just to move but my T and doctor agree that the house is affecting me badly.

I have to give a months notice.

Which also means no where to go if he throws me out ect..

No friends in the city.

I don't know how anger can be useful.

I'm a lodger. I really need to move out of this house is filthy there is mold all over the place, flies and slug infestations. Its dirty and my landlord (live in) is really really loud and makes sexist statements. I hate it here and I regretted moving in the second that I did. I have decided...

The pyramid isn't saying that you have to meet each need in turn but more over how much energy you expend to each need. If you are lonely and hungry you are still lonely but you put all your energy into finding food not into finding company (Psychology degree). You want to be safe and the PTSD...

(Warning: Some pretty raw confessions below.) I wrote a few days ago about how hard it is to deal with noise because it makes me angry. But now i've started to realize these angry reactions are new things to me, the way I'm talking is more aggressive and louder, the gestures I make more violent...

I get it. I have friends, good friends. Friends who only see me during the good times. I keep the bad from them. Seven years on and i've only just told them about my PTSD. They've stuck with me, they ask me what I need, but still I keep the bad from them. It's unfortunate, with PTSD it's like...

Radise: Get in my space, that's exactly what the problem is. I want to be alone, I want space and there's these noisy bastards who keep breaking into it.Yes, i already wear the earplugs 24/7 good to know i'm not the only one. Starting to hurt my ears though and like I said, the noise of the...

Yes, I have PTSD, I am having EMDR. My therapist says that they're nothing to worry about as she doubts I am the violent type. And it's true, I have never hurt anybody. For years I worked with vulnerable adults and then as a nanny so I tend to be pretty solid but this anger is new and it is...

So, whenever there are certain noises I go into a complete rage. I either have to get out of the house to avoid the noise or I put in earplugs and as that doesn't usually block it I end up self harming because if I don't then I think I'd turn the aggression against the noise maker. So sometimes...

Thanks for your understand words mikehoncho. I do have a small support system, my nan knows that I am having some mental health issues, she is assuming however that it is to do with my brother being schizophrenic (which I guess is a part of the CPTSD) I have a few friends who know I have PTSD...

Thanks somerandomguy. I know it's a hard thing to talk about and although I don't wish it on anybody it's good to know i'm not the only one who thinks this way.Solara, I don't think any of my sexual relationships were normal or respectful as I became used to abuse at a young age and thought that...

So, I was raped, more than once and by more than one guy. I haven't had sex in four years, in fact I flinch when people put their hand on my shoulder. But, six months ago I started working with a guy who was extremely good looking and actually made me feel safe. Having a sexual thought, at...

I saw their occupational health three months ago when this all started and he told them to just keep me on a different shift pattern and too look at moving me permanently.

My Hr sent me a letter saying that if I have not resolved my problems with J.K. by 9th of Feb then I will be fired. I just want them to give me time to finish my EMDR first and they won't. They sent a letter explaining what they understood from talking to me and it wasn't what I said at all, it...

Me and my T worked on coping skills for six weeks but obviously being in the u.k. and receiving EMDR on the NHS we were time limited. Also knowing that the company has given me their own time limit as to when and how I should be cured I did tell my T I was ready to move on. The coping...

None of the coping strategies my T tried to teach me really worked, and some of them actually sent me straight into a panic attack. I can't do breathing exercises because I was strangled and any attention to my breathing brings on a flashback, I can't do body focusing because it brings on...

Thanks moonbeam and suzetig. - My advocate is from mind. But she's a bit weak. - I have worked there for seven months, they are looking to fire me on capability grounds but arguably as they have commented that when J.K. is not around I am perfectly capable at my job I can claim that the...
