You don't need to apologise at all! That's what we're here for :) I'm glad you feel like you have a place here.

That's awesome Steph! :)

I understand COMPLETELY!!!

I'm afraid that a time limit can't be put on healing... If moving can help minimise triggers then go for it! That's what I'm working towards :)

You can Abstract! I believe in you... The truth is that people with evil, twisted hearts would not ever consider punishing themselves! Everyone here is a GOOD person- we don't deserve it!

Hi Kimberly, I hope you can find the support you need here.

Hi, welcome to myptsd... Good on you for reaching out and being willing to heal! Oh, and I love your pic- Puss in Boots is awesome!

Hi :) no pressure - but I have high hopes for you... You sound like the kind of person that can make a difference in the world. Welcome!

Hi cavy, make sure you don't ignore your younger self... This might help: https://www.myptsd.com/threads/i-have-nightmares-almost-every-night.36405/#post-589318

What helped me was facing the truth. I realised that the reason I felt so bad and deserving of punishment, was because the fookers who abused me growing up told me I deserved it- they filled my head with all kinds of lies that I believed. I was brainwashed. I couldn't allow myself to be angry...

That is BRILLIANT!!! So happy things worked out well for you... I wonder if a promotion is a possibility in the near future?!

Lol! You're onto it- brilliant! I love the licorice root too :happy:

Hi Padfoot - Welcome :) Just want to say you're pretty amazing... you are the silent hero of all the other women he might have assaulted -but cant now, because of your courage.

You're AMAZING Presentjoy! that is a HUGE achievement in such a short amount of time!!! Have you got onto herbal teas yet? ...they help your body feel sooo good! Peppermint in the morn, any number of flavours during the day (I looove my 'PUKKA' brand), camomile before bed, rosehip during that...

Its a big weekend for both of us! How about eating lots of brownies, and doing something VERY active? I think when I start shaking, its my adrenalin kicking in - I want to flee! If you're doing something active, you can harness all that adrenalin into something positive. If it gets too much, or...

Hi and welcome!

Do you feel very divided over simple decisions all the time? Like you just can't make up your mind? I was feeling this way - and it was actually my naturopath who told me (after hair and blood tests) that my body was lacking certain nutrients and vitamins necessary to keep my sympathetic and...

Hi and welcome! Click on forums, scroll down to PTSD, and choose where you think you're post will best fit... I usually just post in 'Discussion' :)

Hi Tosca, welcome :) While its heartbreaking to hear why you're here, I'm glad you're reaching out. This site has made a huge difference to me - I hope it does for you too!

I know it hurts!!! So proud of you for being strong enough to realise you need to make the tough choice to move on... When it comes to moving on, what's helped me to feel empowered is changing the way I love (as opposed to trying to stamp out the love). I choose to love from a distance, and I...

You blame yourself? ...do you understand why you didn't defend yourself? ...have you heard of the lizard brain? its described as man's first brain - the primitive brain. Its located at the top of the spine, quite small- but vital to our survival. It's responsible for telling our bodies what to...

Try and read the book if you can! I saw the movie too (AMAZING!) but the book is so much more descriptive, and humorous... You're missing out if you don't read the book ;)

Lol! That's brilliant... Hmmm wonder if my desk is hiding any surprises :)

Thanks GrahamCracker... Do you do anything to make it easier?

I guess so... Unless he realises its not so silly. I don't think the specialists are 100% clear on how exactly pot contributes to schizophrenia, but there is enough evidence to link the two. Too much evidence (I think) to risk it. I personally hate the stuff, I've seen it alter many...
