It's a shame your mum wasn't their for u And u had to suffer alone. It depends on what you want? Is it for her to acknowledge that she knew it was going on and turned a blind eye? Is it a mums comfort and support you need ? Or do you want her to be accountable for failing you as your mum? Or do...

Unfortunately I was in same position,my assesment came back as high priority for cptsd therapy as Cbt wouldn't even touch the sides ! I recieved a letter from the hospital saying that they are the only ones that offer therapy for PTSD in the area and they have a waiting list , this was back in...

I think your amazing for trying so hard to be honest with yourself. You can't just get over it or the phrase it happened years ago therefore move on! Coz one day it will come back to haunt you if not dealt with. These are suppressed emotions that need to be brought out in the open and coping...

Well done I'm really pleased for you . Embrace your happiness and success. You deserve it.

I'm not sure if uou ever do . I hate confrontation , my hearts starts racing, I feel physically sick and often start shaking. It's a really bad place to be when I feel like this, especially if someone had said something hurtful to me or used a term my abusers used to, sometimes unfortunately I...

Your not crazy! You just need support, understanding and patience preferably with someone who is a professional in dealing with your issues . I think threatening you with social care and drugs that are going to burn your brain is very much uneducated and slightly immature. I hope you are able...

STAY CALM WITH A T !!!

Santa Laurie I am lost for words for the abuse you suffered. I hope you find peace and the bastard gets locked up, or suffers in the way he had made you suffer for all them years .

I think if it's straight hours without being disturbed then it is possible to function on 5 hours sleep. I personally need 8 anymore or less I feel unsettled. It depends how it makes you feel , and if you feel rested.

Well done for identifying you didn't cause your PTSD , women alike spend years blaming themselves and I'm sure we will all agree hindsight is a great thing!!! But regardless of hindsight , wether we are male or female, none asks to be abused or to be so downtrodden on that we question...

I've often thought about how I would face my abusers if I ever saw them? Unfortunately because this forum is audited as such it's best not that I write what I would do!!!! But for sure I would end up in prison, my only regret in this circumstance would be id be without my phone therefore be...

I always have really strange dreams, I have repetitive dreams that I hate and then I spend days triggering. I spent a lot of my time in EMDR therapy dealing with these and they have got better buttttt I don't want to speak too soon!!!

Hi x oh my gosh I can't believe how identical your post is to my story x identical to you I have really struggled to face my demons, my attitude was I don't need to relive and am happy my traumas are buried but unfortunately they weren't , they were suppressed traumas and emotions that I...

Welcome and I'm so sorry for what you've been through , it sounds horrific. Well done for posting here because you'll definately get the support you need, EMDR is great but very painful and horrible to relive. I totally get the everyday smile you have to put on even on days when you hate...

I think your friend is very fortunate and blessed to have someone who cares so deeply for her. I think what you are doing is very supportive, I think the best person to ask is your friend as every sufferer suffers differently in respect to their traumas , she would best guide you as to whats...

Hi and welcome, unfortunately your diagnosis will come with lots of ups and downs and most certainly won't be plain sailing, that is honesty without sounding too harsh. I'm so sorry for your traumas but with the correct therapist and treatment you can learn to manage it. Welcome to the forum ...

Your post was really interesting and sad and I did read it all . Never apologise for writing down how you feel as we are not here to judge but to hopefully support and listen. Welcome to the forum and write away!!!

Hi jenelle and welcome to forum. You will recieve lots of support from here . Everyone is very supportive and where all good listeners .

I'm speechless and confused!!!

Little flower you are not sick and you will get over it, your a lovely person please don't be hard on yourself. Your definately not a burden and if your boyfriend wanted someone else he wouldn't have chosen you! Please don't be down on yourself, we all have good days and bad days but you can...

Thankyou so much

Hi Kas I never heard if pip before I just googled it, it's not on my area neither. Interesting though! Are you eligible for direct payments ? Just another source if you needed a Carer or someone to support you with certain aspects of your life that you may find difficult. Either way I still...

I think angelkeeper has summed it up beautifully , my prayers and thoughts are with you. Please try not to blame yourself , I know it's easier said than done , but youll end up being consumed with guilt that you won't be able to grieve properly for the most special person who brought you into...

I think eventually hel come to his senses but unfortunately it maybe when he has hit rock bottom. Alcohol definately isn't the answer , I used it to mask my problems years ago apart from affecting my health , job and family it just made my cptsd worse . I can feel your frustration and...

Your very welcome .
