    Sufferer Long History Of Ptsd - Think I'm Breaking Down

    Welcome to the forum! A lot of what you're describing feels very familiar to me - feeling like I'm going to cry, then when I have the opportunity I just can't! So I get your frustration there. If you just want a light hearted time head over to the chit chat section of the forum, it's a great...

    I Love You... Does Anyone Struggle With This?

    I struggle with the words I love you. The only times I can think of my mum saying those words to me would usually be when she was trying to guilt me into something, or when she felt guilty about something. As someone else said I get the 'knee-jerk reaction' of "no you don't" or "prove it" if...

    What Made You Happy Today?

    I went to a birthday party for a 5 year old :D it was really cool cos it was one of the kids that's in long term foster care (been with current person for a month) and he's never had a birthday party before. We would say happy birthday and he would say happy birthday back. Very sweet.

    Anxiety Takes Over

    Hey Kton! Welcome to the site. I had a very similar situation, mum was neglectful and emotionally abusive, and I have no memories of under 11, and blurred ones of 11 - 14. I always used to think I was adopted as there's no photos of me as a toddler and that sort of age (when there's loads of...

    Sufferer New Here. Ptsd With Ocd & Trichotillomania.anyone Else?

    Hey @natalya I'm almost the same but opposite... Trichotillomania which was a contributing factor into my PTSD, and I think I have slight OCD (enough to be frustrating, not enough to feel like I need to do anything about it) had the TTM for maybe 14years or so now, but I struggle to remember my...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I'm feeling nervous/apprensive... I decided today to commit to doing a 200mile cycle ride in a months time (over 3 days). At the moment my furthest regular distance is 7 miles...

    My Si Is Rising Again

    (Thoughts being 'triggered' from your display pic) Scientists found that if they helped with a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon it would die, they discovered that the act of it breaking out created a chemical reaction in its wings which made them harden enough to fly with and such. If the...

    The Hardest Thing About Being A Grandparent....

    Reading this reminds me of my situation, although being almost completely opposite! My half brother was born when I was sixteen, so I saw all the parenting methods my mum used on him, but could never say anything when I disagreed with what she was doing, because obviously she knew best...

    General Can Combat Ptsd Be Triggered By An Argument???

    Do a quick internet search of the Thomas-kilmann conflict model, essentially there are 5 different esponses when faced with 'conflict' (am argument or such). 1. Accommodating 2. Avoiding 3. Collaborating 4. Competing 5. Compromising An individual will have one of these as their 'base stance' as...

    Do You Care What Your Therapist Looks Like?

    I didn't choose either of my first Ts, and I probably wouldn't have chosen either of them based on looks. My first one was a female who was easily old enough to be my grandmother, I can't explain it but something about her just bugged me, and I didn't get on well with her. My second one was male...
