Well done Kim. :) I can imagine that was a tough decision for you . Take the time to concentrate on yourself & therapy, you deserve that, then, when you are well you can take a full role in your business again. It's tough feeling like this Kim, give yourself some time, through therapy you will...

Thank you so much for confessing Betty, at the age of 50 I also started doing this but until this moment I haven't told anyone! It wasn't until I saw my brother (he has schizophrenia) that I admitted to myself that I did it too, until then I blamed having my hair colored! Then PTSD kicked in &...

Though I'd add this thread for those of us who are awake during the night & just cannot sleep! That's me! It's 3.26am UK time & I've been awake for 23hrs. I do have a cold so thats not helping but my brain just wont switch off. I thought these nights were a thing of the past, I've been sleeping...

I was married for 30yrs, then he found a younger model, divorced me, caused my ptsd, cut himself of from his children caused a lot of pain. I will never, ever marry again. 7yrs & ptsd later I cant even think about having a relationship with a man.

I understand what you are saying here Pietro. I too felt strange when my T suggested the same but making a link between myself as an adult and that of my 3 yr old self has lead me to a greater underdtanding of my behaviour & thinking. We worked on this through EMDR which helped me talk about...

My favourite Bloom, although I tthink hell woukd freeze over first.......I will never be writing in this one!!

I slept better last night only woke up twice which is an improvement on the last 3 nights with very little sleep. Problems at work going round in my head I just don't see a solution to them other than being dismissed on ill health grounds. That's the last thing I want, I need to work.

Anyone interested in meeting in the South West? I live in Bristol but happy to travel.

When diagnosed it was all I thought about but gradually with therapy I have learnt to understand my trauma, thoughts & behaviours. If I do start to dwell on them I try to turn my thoughts around and look for the positives. It's hard work but we all have it in us to do it. With the right help...

Good for you Ms Spock! nothing comes from wearing yourself out for work. Your health is more important.

Angry, hurt, rejected , useless My meeting at work did not go well! basically I've had too much time off over the last 5yrs & unless I can give them a return date with a reassurance that I wont take any more sick leave I will be dismissed on ill health. So much for being a loyal employee that...

I'm feeling anxious today. I have a meeting with my employer & head of personnal to discuss my occupational health report. It recommends I dont return to work for 6mths as I have been diagnosed with heart failure. I am hoping theyvare not going to do their usual guilt trip on me about the cost...

I'm feeling very grrhhhhh!, I was signed off sick in December with heart failure & not expecting to return until April. at lunchtime I received a phone call from my school secretary to say, she & the Head had sorted out my cupboard &would be sending all my belongings, mostly teaching materials...

Hi Shankari I'd be happy to help with your research. I was diagnosed in 2008 & I'm in recovery. I had 3 yrs therapy using an eclectic approach through EMDR, talking therapies & traditional&homeopathic medication.

Since therapy I have fewer triggers and those I do have are less stressful. In my early days of ptsd I seemed to be triggered by everything, my feet- I couldn't tollerate them being uncovered, being touched, showering, doors opening, telephone rings, perfume, a slow cooker & strangest of all...

That is such good news KP, wedone to both of you xx

I am grateful for the care I am receiving from my community heart failure team. I was diagnosed in december &for a while was to5ally disabled by it. Yesterday thanks to their care& medication I was able to join my family for my 2yr old grandaughers birthday trip to the zoo. I am grateful that my...

Hi Cath what a difficult situation for you. Is it possible for your husband to meet them without you? Couldn't you say its not in anyone's best interest to meet, it may give them a bit of a reality shock, they sound like just the sort of people you need to avoid. I went through this with my...
