I've had people poking around in my head for decades and until very recently the consensus was that I have CPTSD. I have a friend who has ADHD so I did a bit of research and saw a Youtube about autism in adults and had a huge omg moment. Loads more research and lots of boxes ticked. I'd like...

I have an anger problem. I don't get angry. Never have done. It would be easy to say that not getting angry could be an avoidance, but I was a non angry child well before the event. I've had plenty of therapy over the years, but we always hit a block. Something so distressing that my Ts were...

This could be moany and not too PTSDy but it's really knocked me for six :( I have a friend that I've been helping with his alcohol problems (I know a fair bit about it from personal experience, I'm over 2 years sober :) So my friend is doing well. He's a month in and the change in him is...

I'm currently off sick and Universal Credit want me to complete a UC50 form. I have no idea what to say. I just look at the form and my mind goes blank. I guess it's an avoidance thing. I really don't like thinking too deeply about how my mental health effects me as I find it extremely...

Until today I only knew about fight and flight. I am a total Fawner ! Now I'm struggling with the diagnosis. I'm two years sober after decades of self-medicating. Not boozing was the easy bit. Sifting through the wreckage, trying to find answers and move on is tough when the reason you...

My GP has me back on Mirtazapine again. They really arn't doing anything apart from scaring the crap out of me two or three times a night. I wake up and it feels like my heart has stopped and I'm not breathing. The time distortion is a bit odd but it seems like an age passes before i can...

Hello everyone. Hmm where to start ? Damn my overthinking.. cause and effect ? bulleted trauma list ? timeline of misery ? I think I might give the diary thing a go and start with now, occasionally dropping in the odd mindf*ck along the way :) Highlights may include drugs, sex and Abba. Ghosts...
