I'm definitely moving in December, that's set, the people I love live there and I can't keep making 14 hour round trips to see them and be rushed because it's only a weekend visit, or a week at most. I'll be happy if it's under control enough to function in a classroom through the day, and...

It only applies to government housing, so the people living in them won't be later selling, right? That's how it was meant to be in Australia.

Britt, thanks for sharing, it sounds like a wonderful relationship :) I've never been in a long-term relationship, which has nothing to do with what happened, that's only recent. The "Day Zero Project" sounds interesting, will have to look into that. I've not done this type of things before...

Thanks. Yes, by "fixed" I was not being 100% literal. Sorry for the confusion. Where I moved from, which is where it took place, I was working there in a really poor area and living in quite a poor area, it wasn't my hometown so I feel there are no ties to the place. My friends who lived...

We are free from dairy, barley, oats, wheat and rye, so if you want recipes I'm here :) We are also vegetarian.

I have applied at 3 schools for work, meaning 6 hours per day at work contact plus 2 hours per day working from home. I am also able to open up family daycare which means I can make my own hours and work weekends and evenings as well.

I'm 33 and almost had my house paid off and had renovated the lost it all and sold it for way less than it was worth :( I live with coeliac disease (my daughter) and dairy allergy (both of us, me lactose, her caseine) so if you want to know anything to do with that feel free to PM :) we've...

I don't expect miracles, I just want to be able to manage myself and work full time like before, if I can't manage that then I can't afford to move, and if I don't move I might as well die now.

It's not a very well thought out plan :( "Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity, nothing exceeds the criticisms made of the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed." - Herman Melville

We're moving to a place that's beautiful, we can go out snorkling at the Great Barrier Reef whenever we get the chance, all our walks are through rainforests, we have a good, solid support network there, it has very low crime and most of it is opportunitic theft such as stealing a wallet from an...

Maybe not gone, but better enough to not be ruling almost every part of life, the therapist said wishful thinking, I'm really hoping to have overcome it enough to be able to start fresh and not be so jumpy.

I heard about this, it was talked about in Australia as well but not sure if it's in place or not. Trouble is, in Aus at least, they are not allowing people to swap homes and move to one with fewer rooms. A single mum with 1 child is likely to be given a 3 brm house due to the lack of...

It helped me understand what was happening. Finding a therapist who specialised in PTSD caused by a violent assault while it was an open case through the courts was difficult, but I found someone now and even the first session was not terrible, I can see things going well :)

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...

It really depends. I'm not a huggy person, quite prickly actually lol, but have no real problems so my huggy friends don't bother me. I had one friend give me a hug when she found out what happened. She's not a huggy person either, but didn't quite know what else to do.

We lost nearly everything, that was hard to take. The day after it happened, I told my brother to get whatever he wanted from the house, but the back door wasn't fixed for a few days and by then whoever had entered the house (I'm thinking not the same person as who broke in and attacked me 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...

There was also a prostitute, but they only have him on robbery because he had sex with her and didn't pay. Doesn't seem to matter that she didn't agree to it. Makes me cranky that she can't take it further.

Yep, we aren't allowed to meet each other for some reasons before the trial, if it gets that far, but they all reported. The poor jogger, she was out jogging and he grabbed her and attacked her near the river, nobody went to her until it was too late :(

Unfortunately there were others. He was only young, 16 when he did it to me and another girl in our street and 17 when he did it to the jogger and the other one that he was caught doing it to. Hoping he stays locked up for a while.

Thank you for the welcome :) It's going through the legal channels because it was a break and enter, I rang 000 (our emergency number) when I first hear him breaking in and he fled when he saw the lights, it took them 7 months to catch him and only because he had done it to others in that...

I'm not sure, I've only seen her once. Part of me is hanging out for the next session in 2 weeks, part of me is dreading it and feeling very uptight. She has linked me in with a psychiatrist but still waiting to hear back about a time.

Thank you. Yes it was sexual violence. I'm not sure where most people are from, but I'm in Queensland.

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.
