Aye! but there is the fact that once you've hit rock bottom, there is only one way to go, and that's.....UP! I remember feeling like that a few months ago, I was almost at the point of calling it a day. But I found the strength from somewhere to climb up, and look over the edge of the hole I...

I would describe it as a different way of life in general? A different world, a constant battle which can be won by making the best if the good days.

I meant that the body can heal a lot quicker than the mind, well that's just my thought on it.

I was taking three different pills a day, the main one being Tramidol, pain killers for my back. But when they found out that I had a problem with my heart, they have put me on three types of pills to regulate it, so now I have to take a total of six different pills a day! I've asked the...

Welcome to the site, you have come to the right place to find out who you are, as everybody in here has gone through the same thing. So what ever you post, you can be sure that everyone here can understand what your saying. Are you having therapy just now? If so, how are you progressing with...

I know exactly what you mean there, as I go trough same thing when I have my night mares! As for your other problem, we have to separate what we call "flash backs" from "triggers" most of my flashbacks are my nightmares, yet, a smell, sound or the sight of something, will trigger a horrible...

Sorry to read about your food poisoning Gizmo, hope you are feeling better now. I had a twenty four hour thing recently, don't know what it was, but it knocked me off my feet, and really slowed me down? I was grateful to see that the swallows are still here, I was beginning to think they had...

I suppose it's different in America, but I've managed to get to my age without ever owning one. In fact it was the bank manager who hauled me into his office, way back in the 70s, and got to change the account over to a credit account, and gave me cheque book, which I never used for a long...

My avatar is a picture of a butterfly, it reminds me that we are not in this earth for very long, and how we should all make the best of the time we have, and that we are all fragile in our own way.

When I'm out in my car I put my cigarette making stuff in the boot, so I know it's there if I want one. It's like a back up for me, in case the chewy sweets that I always take with me, in my pocket, don't work. It seems to work, as it's not very often that I want to pull up,...... park up...

Oh! dear, sorry to read that, I've never had a credit card, but I know what you mean about being offered a higher limit. My bank kept of offering me an increase on my over draft, I kept refusing. Then a year later, when I was actually needing a larger over draft, the bank told me to sod off...

I don't like the autumn, as it tells me that winter is coming, and that really depresses me? Don't get me wrong, I like seeing all the colours of the trees that comes with the autumn, but that's about it.

Aye! Junebug, I recognise every symptom you mentioned there, I was ticking them off in my brain as I was reading your post, it was a weird feeling, Goodun!

Ah! I must have got it wrong, I thought you were talking about your Grandmother, when you mentioned nana? Sometimes I wish I had someone to show me "the light" when I was younger, but I had to find out the hard way?

Aye! they say that you never realise what you've got, until it's gone? It sounds like you were really close to your nana, and she guided through the dark times. I never knew my grandparents very well, we only saw them once a year when we used to go down South, in a whistle stop tour of our...

I don't like my picture being taken now, as I look so gaunt and thin! I never used to mind before, when I was younger, and fitter. My sister took a picture of me, when I never knew she was taking it, and I look terrible in it, yet my sister says it's a good one? I can't get over know old I...

I have been trying for years to put weight on, but no matter how much I eat, I never seem to put any weight on? It started when I had to come home from working over seas, with dysentery and I weighed seven stones. I managed to get back up to Eight Stone Seven Pounds, but never got above that...

I think they have got me on too many kinds of pills?

Well, I took one of mud KO pills last night, and had the best nights sleep in months! In fact I never woke up until 13.00, and even then kept dozing off for another hour. It felt great when I first woke up, but couldn't seem to function al day after I got up? I can't believe I slept all that...

That's weird, as I thought it was the other way around? Or maybe it's just how I think of things.

Hi Toadrtte, welcome to the site, you never mentioned what kind of abuse you went through? If it was violent, like mine was, it can effect you in later life. When we are younger we thought it was just part of growing up, and that it's perfectly normal, it's not until later that we realise that...

Why don't you try and do something that you are really good at, no matter what it is. Find something that gives you pleasure that you actually enjoy doing. (Mine is repairing things, or creating something useful out of nothing) Don't over do it though, stop as soon as you are not enjoying it...

Aye! that's it exactly, your brain is screaming out for sleep, but your body won't let you! It's a horrible feeling, isn't it?

I've found that by making something with your hands, or repair something, it makes me feel a lot better about myself. I get that feeling of accomplishment, it's a great feeling! I used to run a second hand furniture business when I was between jobs in the oil industry. I was laid off, and had...
