I think everyone has more or less said what I would have. Good luck, small steps so not overwhelming and to prevent you from feeling that you've failed which will knock your confidence . Thinking of you, good luck
Only do what your comfortable with. If you feel isolation at this time in your life is k with you then go with it. I got sick of people telling me how to deal with my traumas that I sometimes go into a world of my own, I can't speak for any one else but for me it's k, and I'm happy with that. Il...

I am so sorry to hear abt your traumas and a childhood so scarred . May you heal in time and have all the love and care you missed out on. Have you ever spoken to your family about how you felt and feel? Have you had any sorts of therapy ?
Laurie how do I pm you ? Sorry I'm just about able to reply on here not very up with modern technology but I'm too excited to meet other people with PTSD . I've asked my t to find me somewhere I could talk to others but she said there wasn't any in london

Hi and welcome. Really well down for getting a job, I'm a cptsd sufferer and hold down a job at an executive level and feel some of the feelings you spoke about. I do mindfulness , constantly tapping away using eft , also had emdr . All helpful factors towards coping on a daily basis . I'm sure...
Depends what your hospitalised for? If it's under the mental health act it depends in what section , everyone different with the level of support they require and what their diagnosis is. Without further information it would be hard to answer this. Wish you well.
On my gosh western sky it felt I had written that the only difference is I don't have medication coz I try to cope without . Haven't been on the forum for a while but had a really bad flasback or flashbacks to be more precise a fortnight ago and I've been struggling ever since . I hate it, in...
Welcome to the forum, you will recieve really good support here. I spent years blaming myself , not only did I leave one abusive relationship I walked into another one who really tortured me. How stupid was I ! It's taken 15 years of every form of therapy going to get me to where I am today...
Unfortunately I been rubbish , flashbacks since Sunday only today do I feel like I'm getting back to myself but really through me and drained and usual effects that cptsd has on oneself. However I did go for a few walks not long , abt 20minutes, on Monday I flasbacked whilst out so I turned...
Wow I feel exhausted reading the threads lol. Did my cycle , might try and do an exercise DVD tomorrow as working from home . Will have to motivate myself. Will let you know if I did! Wish me luck and keep up the good work everyone x

You will get through this unfortunately I'm triggering quiet bad so can't get into deep conversation . In my prayers
Brilliant idea, I do road running too, cycling, zumba and t25 to help me destress , but lately I've really slacked , I think a thread will be brilliant to get me motivated , on that note I'm gonna go cycling for about twenty minutes. Thanku
Hi tj and welcome to forum x you will most definately be supported, I'm sorry for the abuse you've suffered by the hands of you father, especially from someone who is supposed to love and protect , guide and nurture you. I think your flasbacks or memories you have are better out than In...
Hi , I'm not really sure how I can advise, but my in laws don't understand my conditions but I love them dearly . We very rarely talk about them although my husband had explained all about my cptsd and how it affects me, however because they are of the older generation , without causing anyone...
I'm really pleased it went relatively well and it's quiet evident your mum is in denial . As long as your satisfied regarding your conversation then that's all good. Well done for having the courage to speak to her Eventhough you remembered certain details of your abusers and abuse and events...
Hi stenni I live in Hertfordshire so I found a t whom specialised in PTSD , I think there's abt a handful if that. I didn't want a t that was experienced in everything , she does emdr, brain spotting she goes with watever treatment you feel is the best and most comfortable . I think she worked...
