Listen, you sound like such a lovely person. Just because someone has trauma issues does not give them the right to f*ck someone else over. It sounds like she was not too considerate of your feelings and expected much tolerance from you. You will forgive her cheating but she won't forgive you...

I am still struggling to understand it! I just feel as if I could get to grips with understanding it, it won't bother me anymore.

I don't blame you. I understand that he can't possibly win. He's obviously causing some disruption with this rigging business. It just saddens me to think that so many people won't even be swayed to refrain from voting for him and might even think he's a bit of a hero for his conduct. In some...

It is odd that the opinions on whether or not this is normal are so diverse. All I know is all these behaviours made me feel really ashamed and dirty. I would have preferred to not have to deal with any of it because I already had the violence and verbal abuse to deal with.

In the UK, we are all still really confused that Trump is allowed to behave in this way and make it so far in this election. If a politician had that come out before an election here, they would resign from the race. It would be such a source of shame. It's amazing how he keeps insisting 'Nobody...

T Really? Do you think? So you think he got a weird kick out of that? Or maybe he thought it was normal and okay?

Really? See, that definitely sounds dodgy. That's like the kind of thing my father would have done. He also used to come into my room and stand over me in the night sometimes. It really freaked me out. He disgusted me so much. I am so scared too that I am repressing something but how can I know?

Is it normal for a father to touch or tickle or lightly grab his children's private parts- even as a joke? He would sometimes pinch my buttocks as a joke. I really hated it. Apart from being extremely physically and psychologically abusive, he used to start conversations about sex with me as a...

Thanks for the advising questions. In some ways, I think going back is what I 'should' do because the outside world would see me as weak for not going back. In some ways, I think going back is reckless to my health and that, if I just don't go back I can concentrate on getting myself mentally...

Higgins, I am sorry for what you have been through and what you found out yesterday. That's really horrific. You sound as though, through the suffering, you have some real strength in you. Something you wrote really resonates with me and I am so glad you said it because I've never been able to...

Thank you. I do feel as if maybe the scary one was not too good for me. Next job is singing and dancing for children in Christmas event. It sounds happy. The job sounds great but what if the other actors make me feel bad again and I want to escape?

No it's not. It is more like pantomime. Do you have pantomime in USA? Do you know the Polar Express film?

Thanks so much for replying. I am really agonising over this and I just need advice from people who actually have similar conditions because my wife doesn't get it. Basically, I do have to stay in shared accommodation. I wouldn't make any money if I had to pay out for accommodation. Also, the...

Thank you hey, hey, hey. My therapist has suggested some kind of a trauma therapy but we haven't been seeing each other too regularly so I plan to start next year. I don't like the sound of it though. It's sounds scary but life at the moment feels that way too

Thank you very much, Muse. It does make me feel a little less alone that I have found this site. I appreciate your words

I have recently got into paid acting work. It's realising a lifetime dream. I am extremely lucky as I never thought I would be good enough to get professional contracts alongside real actors. I got a contract for the October period playing a character in the top scare event for Halloween...

That is great. Good luck with the application. Ironically, I don't like being around many people because they affect my mood unless I am performing to people. I only like kind, gentle, cerebral people and they can be few and far between in actors. There is so much nastiness and petty jealousy. I...

Thank you very much for the warm welcome.

Yes, this very much resonates with me. I have been diagnosed with bipolar and border line but I feel the underlying issue is CPTSD. I was physically and psychologically abused from around age 3 to 17. I experienced overwhelming feelings of entrapment and violation. This has resulted in me...

Hello new friends, I suffer from CPTSD. I have been in therapy for four years and my behaviour has much improved. Unfortunately, my anxiety and terror is increasing as life goes on. I have recently become a professional actor and have had to leave one of my first jobs due to...
