Hard to forget seeing as the rest of the country is celebrating... But the spoiling part sounds good.

Hi, that's an incredible story. I can relate to a higher power keeping you alive, there is no good reason why I should be alive still. But I am, and I believe there is a reason. I'm sure it's the same for you, your mission on earth hasn't been fulfilled yet. I'm glad your off the streets now!

Ok, so I'm starting to get really upset because Father's Day is in a couple of days and thoughts of him bring up feelings of pure terror, disgust, repulsion, unbearable hurt. He is the definition of evil. For the last few years, instead of avoiding fooker day I have bought myself a card and...

Im sorry you're having a rough one! I really hope talking to your inner child helps :) I know what you mean about feeling ridiculous- I think that's what makes me laugh so hard! Hope you get a bit more sleep and feel better!

I don't know you well, but care about you! You're right this world is ridiculously superficial, and people go to extremes everyday to try and make themselves fit. Have you opened a magazine lately? You'll find so many people with deformed faces - trying to fit. They hate themselves too. People...

I'd move on- find another therapist. Sounds like this one isn't right for you.

Ohh Ash! I'm so sorry I wasn't awake to be there for you :( no wonder you had a panic attack! I hope you're not being hard on yourself for it! I think nomedic is onto something- you need to be a bit firmer with him. He's being a bit manipulative. Here's an idea: discuss with him what he...

That's great- it's happening for you!!! Well done- you're such a great example for everyone here :)

Thinkingman, I think your right you won't ever be completely the same... But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm a firm believer that everyone has something unique and special to give to this world. PTSD just means that your journey may be changed, and you need to rethink the best way to...

He's just in a place where he's incapable of realising what he's missing! Don't take it personally- he's the one who's going to suffer and pay more than anyone for his choice. He misses out on your love and friendship. It's time to find people who are capable of valuing your love and...

Hi Gizmo, My heart goes out to you! At the same time, I'm so happy that you were married for 36years- no doubt you have some great memories to reflect back on. I'd suggest doing some kind of vollunteer work at the local community centre or library, but having had to look after your husband...

Hey, that's great! Even if its not the right time for him to get back in contact, you were still brave enough to let him know you care enough to say hi. Maybe this is just a first step... If he does text back, promise me you'll take it slow! Maybe just be friends for a while, see how that goes...

Absolutely! Makes all the difference :)

I'm SO happy that you had a good sleep! Hopefully everyone else did too... It just makes me sick that your friends sat back and did nothing when that psychopath x was after you! I've known plenty of people like that... And have had no problem walking away. They're not worth a second glance...

You're welcome Mistyeyed! Sounds like you have a lot of courage :) I can imagine you're an awesome example for him to have!

Well done GrahamCracker! So glad you faced your fear. I hope Zoloft works well for you!

That's great! Therapy is really fresh then ...the type of lie he told is something that a huge number of men without PTSD would lie about, and not feel guilty at all about. He was probably looking for an ego boost in the same way all his mates are maintaining their egos. I'm really glad he was...

I just worked my way through the post... :) I'm so glad you got on here for support - he is being a bit of a poohead. I wondered if he was being so pushy to start with because he knew the real reason you didn't want to go out, and he was trying to give you a reason to do your hair, get dressed...

Well, I'm feeling pretty lonely right now- there's no-one for miiiiiles around!

I feel for you Felicia... I feel wildly jealous sometimes of people who have loving, supportive families. There's always hope though! For as long as we are able to heal and grow, there will always be hope that we can get what we want... Are you on speaking terms with him at the moment?

I agree with Meadowsweet... Quite frankly, I have cPTSD and I am waaay to honest and upfront for most people. Living in a web of lies growing up, means that now I have little to no tolerance for bullpoo. I associate lies with abuse. I hate to break it to you, but every single break up I have...

Ashdawn, I was a little reluctant to say this the other day- just wasn't coping so great... My heart goes out to you for your bed and sleep itself being a trigger! That's just awful. One of my main 'location triggers' is the bathroom. All this time later I hate closing the door, no matter what...

wow and WOW!!! I was not expecting that... I did the laughter yoga half an hour before going down and a bit of quiet prayerful meditation just before. I actually got back up after an hour of not shutting off, I could feel the anxiety kicking in because I dread nightmares so much. I distracted...

Thanks for responding everyone! I'm glad you got a laugh :):):sneaky: Thanks for sharing Stuff! I know this is true... At times when I've been feeling stronger, I've felt this drive in me that isn't satisfied with the norm... I want (with the core of my being) and feel I deserve to be happy...

Yah! :) Glad your on board with the yoga D123! I'm actually getting ready to try and get to sleep soon- and I did a few mins of the youtube video. It felt a bit weird at first, but I got into it easily- and really enjoyed it!!!
