i just wanted to say to everyone how amazingly strong we all are! PTSD is the pits and all these symptoms we experience are damn hard. But seriously how strong are we all for getting through each day, facing our problems and especially seeking help. Sending a huge amount of compassion to all of you.

You can do it! Just let it flow. It might come together and you feel and cry a lot but exactly what somerandomguy says; it’s just time for that to happen and show yourself some compassion. I am currently doing EMDR work and it is tough. I am 3 sessions in with it and can already feel some...

I could have written this post myself about the feelings of abandonment. My husband is the only person who would stand by me and I take comfort from that. I live in hope that one day I will meet that friend that has my back as much as I have theirs. I wish you well.

My inner child has no communication with anyone apart from my adult part.

Great Vee for forgiving yourself. I also second Freida...good thread. Maybe it’s related to the specific types of trauma. I played willing parts in all of my trauma (or it feels like I did) and trying to forgive and show forgiveness and compassion to different parts of my inner child is very...

Hi Scotty88, Bless you and sending you loads of strength! It is extremely difficult. I can relate to what you are saying. Always being hyper vigilant of every scenario and every opportunity any person could have. The anxiety is terrible. I am now safe to have both my children at school and...

Hi Scott88, I am terribly sorry you are going through this also. It’s such a horrible feeling that is a constant cycle. I do hope your new therapist can help you work through your pain. I think my situation is similar to yours. I had been almost symptom free though for 15 years and now after...

I love pizza! Never heard of papa johns but my local pizza place is hands down my favourite. Mad I know but I even know by the taste of the dough who cooked it! Haha For me it’s got to be either with salami and capers or topped with cold roast beef, rucola and grana cheese. Pizza is happy food!

Thank you all for your replies and words of wisdom. I have had a pretty rubbish week but productive. I did contact my psychologist in the end and she was supportive. I have moved my appointment with her forward to Tuesday this week and my husband is coming along for a bit of support. I very...

Thank you both for your replies. Today has been my lowest day for 15 years. I have not gone to work. I have stayed in bed and cried! Wondering if I need to contact my psychologist to talk some things through but don’t want to be ‘needy’. My mind is saying ‘give yourself a shake girl’ but I can...

Hi all, I have been lurking around this site and it’s forums for a while trying to build the courage to ask for help. Here goes... From as young as I can remember as a young child until around 12 I was sexually abused quite frequently. I somehow managed to function and suppress the memories...
