i thought perhaps it was better to start a thread here instead of keeping going onto chat, although the lovely folk on there are being so tolerant. I am just not coping this week at all. It started on Monday with my visit to the hospital having injured my hand, ending up pumped full of pain...

Feeling incredibly down today. Can't stop crying, exhausted, in pain physically and emotionally. Seeing my counsellor today thank goodness

Feeling really drugged and bit sick still from all the meds but can't sleep as can't get comfy. Got to sleep in the sling so don't lay on hand but can't find a comfortable position.

Really beginning to wonder what is going to go wrong next! About 8 weeks ago, I fell over getting into a tow truck and landed heavily on my left hand fracturing the scaphoid bone in my wrist and dislocating my thumb causing a lot of muscular damage. One visit to the hospital later came away in...

Had a rough day today. Was also nice in other respects but took the son of a friend for a tour round the airfield. He is a fireman who is wanting to join the airfield fire service so was trying to give him some background info. Ended up with him asking me lots of questions about the accident...

You are so right Ed. our passion for it is not something that you can explain to anyone or can describe. It comes from within it really does. The airfield is my 'safe place'. I always feel safe, happy and content there. Been there for a large part of today which was just lovely. NOTAMS...

Ladee, thank you so much. I tend to escape in the car and find a quiet place when it all gets too much and I need to just 'feel'. Sometimes though it just catches me unawares, that happened t his morning sat at my desk which was awkward. Thank goodness I am in my own little office. I had to...

Thanks Ed, I would very much like to talk in pm to you about this. It is very tough and to have someone who really would understand would be fab. I am at work now but will pm you when I get home and if time differences allow and you are around we will chat more. Thank you

Have posted an account of my story in the vehicle accident section incase anyone is interested how I came to be here

OK, I am going to try and explain a little bit about what has caused me to end up here. My trauma event goes back 10 years but it is only within the last 6 months that the problems have really started. My biggest love in life is aviation and I work as operations manager part time at weekends...

I am in North West Kent / London borders and would definitely be interested in something locally.

Thank you Poofycat, been incredibly tearful again all day today. The slightest thing brings on the tears. I am exhausted and an over emotional wreck. I tried to talk in the chat room but think I kind of spoilt the conversation so bit scared to go back in there. I don't know enough about everyone...

Well suddenly for no particular reason that I am aware of, last night I started to feel really down, sad and teary. The next thing I knew, I was just sobbing uncontrollably. It was like someone had opened the floodgates, I just could not stop. Fortunately I was in the bath at the time so...

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am a total wreck right now. Can't stop crying, having panic attacks and severe anxiety. Didnt help when counsellor said I was very poorly and he was worried about me. Really need the support right now.

Welcome Jim, I am new to the forum today and I totally understand where you are coming from. I too feel like this has taken over my life totally, as if it is my life and there is nothing else. I don't know about you but I feel like the person I once was has ceased to exist and its horrid. Be...

Hi, I hope that I am posting this in the right place. As I said in my introduction post, I have only just recently been diagnosed with PTSD and I am struggling greatly with it. I have been suffering the usual round of awful symptoms, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares for the past 6 months...

Hi there, I am new here and also newly diagnosed with PTSD. Thank goodness a friend, who was in the fire service and seen colleagues with problems, was brave enough to speak up and said that he thought I had a trauma problem and advised me to see a counsellor which I have been doing for a few...
