I feel like I'm meant to be happy, or at lest content. But I feel like I'm just existing in a physical sense, without really connecting to my emotions :/ I'm also hungry, one hour to go before dinner!

Thanks for all the responses! I think it's helped give coherent words to what I've had floating round my head in a jumbled mess! I think I'm going to hang off for the minute, and if I feel like God is poking me at somepoint to share my experiences with anyone then I will be more wiling to...

So I've noticed there's a few people on here who go to church, I'm wondering how many people open up to people about their PTSD there? I'm currently in that situation where I'd love to ask for prayer from people, but I don't know if I want to tell them about it, I'm quite new to the church, and...

I don't remember very much of my primary school days (11and younger) - I don't feel like I had anything traumatic happen then... But it would explain not remembering... (I'm in my 20s now so it isn't exactly that long ago)... I'm worried what I'll find of I go digging for memories, but at the...

I kinda get distracted when reading, so when most people read a chapter at a time I read a book at a time... The last 2 I've read (books 1 and 2 in a series of 3... Waiting for the 3rd to be published!) took me less than a week in total, including ordering the second book off amazon... The first...

I am grateful for our 4 healthy 4-day old chicks, and for the person who left a large suitable cage outside their house with a note saying that it was free to anyone who wanted it! (Chicks are learning to fly/jump high already!) I am grateful for the Star Trek movies, always a good place to...

18celcius/64farenheit :) no clouds, blue sky... Beach weather if I had the energy to bike there! (Good beach is about 20 miles away)

So that worried me for a moment... Turns out clocks change at different times depending on where you are! Our clocks don't change till the end of the month! It's been shorts weather today :)

The strangest thing happened earlier - I was at church doing a worship course, essentially we watch a video, make notes and discuss what we've seen. My way of making notes is by creating spider diagrams/brain storms/mind maps, whatever. In the discussion one of the ladies in my group saw my...

I get where you are coming from completely, it's a question I've been asking myself recently (or something similar) I'm not sure if I have any advice to give, personally I'm trying to hold onto the knowledge that it's those positive things that made me into who I was which was good, it's the...

I agree! I am happy to help with Christian related festivals :)

I currently work for a church, which means I am regularly exposed to a large variety of people. One of the people I see regularly come in for a coffee is our organist, if you've ever watched an episode of The Vicar of Dibley, he is very very similar to Jim Trott. He's lovely but not quite all...

@Toria Lent is 40 days if you don't include Sundays (or whichever day of the week is your sabbath) as it was traditionally a fast, and traditionally you don't fast on the sabbath. Took me years to get my head around it! (Although no one every explained it to me) Many of our youth favoured...

So excited, today has been a day of much change - including 2 of our chicks hatching!! :D (I feel like a proud parent) This year for lent I've decided to do daylight fasting, and even though it's only been one day I feel like I know it's going to change me by the end of it, for the better (which...

I am generally pretty useless at keeping diaries, but here goes anyway! I think of my life and don't think of anything particularly bad happening, but I think that I have just stopped remember the hurt and pain that certain events caused me. Most of what follows might not be very coherent, but...

I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a crowd where everybody else is laughing and having fun, and I'm not. The odd one out who doesn't "get it"

I was chatting to my friend, and I said that I had PTSD, he didn't quite believe me at first, I believe his response was along the lines of 'actually diagnosed or you just decided you have it' he's studying psychology and I think he doesn't get that people that have mental health issues also...

Hey! *waves* I always like it when people give a really random fact as way of introduction, for instance, the skin on the outside of your elbow is called your wheanus :D

My mum used to say a very similar thing when she found out I pulled out my hair (trichotillomania, rather than self harm but very similar), but if anything it made it worse, and I've never been able to work out quite why. The idea of talking to someone about it would make me want to do it more...

I just had pancakes for lunch :) home made including the eggs... (Well the eggs were from our chickens in the garden!) a 'small' sprinkling of sugar and lemon :) we have a youth group tomorrow night and will be doing pancakes, with a large collection of stuff from the shop over the road... Creme...

A while back I was chatting with the mental health advisor at uni and he asked me when the last time I cried was, so I told him and he asked what type - essentially the 2 you described. I said the 'body wracking sobs' he didn't say anything about it, but he did have that look on his face of -...

I'm from England, on the South Coast :) And also not a guy, but most of my friends see me as one... I do quite a bit of rock climbing and what not when I can - does that count?

Hi there! About a year ago I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, and since then I've been nearly homeless, (kicked out of where I was living and very last minute a friend said I could live with them) raped, and on the verge of suicide. Having looked around a bit before saying anything, I know...
