I wasn't particularly a fan of Harry Potter, but when my daughter (now 10) was 7, nearing her 8th birthday, she requested a Harry Potter book for her birthday. Because she has Autism, she was unable to read anything on her own. She was given the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter And The...

Once again I'm sitting in bed with my mind buzzing, trying to figure out why it happened, how it happened, ways it could have been prevented. Wondering what will happen next, what will happen to him, what will the future hold? Unsure of what life will be like, and if it even matters, if any of...

For me it's been a bit random. I had the first session then the next available was 2 weeks later, the next is 4 weeks after that and a further 2 have been made, one a week later and one 2 weeks later. I'm meant to see a psychiatrist for a review but the next available is December at $750 for...

The true gravity of this has set in. It's something that will not go away overnight. Apparently my story is one that has stayed with the police. The cop who was first at the scene had to take a month personal leave because of what she was confronted with. The therapist basically said that it...

Days are long and hard, nights are even harder. I'm seeing the therapist tomorrow, second session, finding it difficult to settle. How do you cope?

As above, what will the LNP mean for access to therapy services under Medicare? Will Medicare Local be scrapped? Will the rebates be removed? What do you think this will mean for the future of meantal health services?

My 10 year old has 2 weeks left of school for this term, then 1 term left of Year 4 so I feel trapped because as a teacher myself, I know how it will affect her to move her now. But for my own personal safety I really need to go. What would you do? My anxiety is through the roof and will only...

Court appearance tomorrow. I could very well die of shame. His lawyers will be given all the evidence, including horrifying photos of me that nobody should ever see. It's way too late to back out.

This is for people who experienced sexual violence I guess. How do you make yourself go for any other medical follow ups and routine procedures? I will probably never willingly have another pap smear. I'm done with everything relating to the assault and have been tested for every disease and...

I told my therapist she has until December to fix me. I've seen her once, started seeing her last week, she thinks it's wishful thinking. We're moving in December and I don't want to take any emotional stuff with us when we move. We're moving to a place of beauty a fair way from here and...

What sort of things do you like to do? Do you have any plans for the future that you want to do? It was a very real possibility that my daughter and I could have died last November. If it wasn't for the fact that I know some martial arts, it's possible it could have happened. That left me...

Hi, I'm new here. Was recently diagnosed with PTSD following a violent assault that took place in November of last year. It's still going through the legal channels so pretty hard to deal with sometimes. Was hoping to learn more about it and learn ways to get by.
