    New To Medication

    Do you use a pill cutter? I bought one from our local chemist, only cost about £2, they make a nice clean cut, with no waste. I used to have to cut some of my pills in half to get the correct dosage, but later on they increased that, so I don't use the cutter any more.

    What Did You Do For You Today???

    When we face time every night, my sister is always on at me to start writing again, I have tired, but "it's just not here anymore" it's been two years now since I last wrote anything, and even that was just a poem, about PTSD. I would like to be able to write again, and I do hope it comes back...

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    When you wake up in the morning, after very little sleep, and can't be bothered even to get out of bed?

    What Made You Happy Today?

    I saw a swallow today, first one in three days, I thought they had all left for their long flight to Africa. This one was on his own, maybe he slept in, or hasn't set his Sat-Nav properly? Lol What ever the reason, it was still good to see one, it has given me the slight hope that summer isn't...

    My husband died today

    Yea! I know exactly what you mean, I really miss being with "real people" and being able to talk to someone who understands. Yet, at the same time, I get scared and anxious if I'm in with a lot of people, or in a crowded room. I really miss talking to the therapist I used to go and see a few...

    Sufferer Hi Everyone

    Welcome to the site Vickie, I'm sure you will get all the help and support that you need from the good folk on here. I know I did, in fact this site has been responsible for all the progress that I've made in the past few months, as I'm not receiving help from any other source. I look forward...

    Does Anyone Else Mask Their Anxiety?

    Since I'm not in the work environment any more, being a pensioner, and now live alone, I don't have anyone to pretend to any one any more. When I was working in my last job, I kept my self to my self, and didn't mix in with the others, (there was a reason for this, which I can't go into just...

    What Made You Angry Today?

    I got really angry today when I phoned the hospital about my upcoming operation, only to be told that my notes still haven't been sent to the department concerned!!!! Despite being told by the heart doctor that he had sent them four days ago!!! I hate being lied to!!!!!!!!

    How Treatable Is Ptsd?

    Aye! and if I had stayed in Holland, I would have had the operation and had this f****ing tube removed months ago!

    I Can't Cry!

    Aye! that's exactly the same as me, I knew that if I did cry, my mother would say it was a weakness in me? So no matter what she did or said to me, I would never give her the satisfaction of seeing me cry.

    I Can't Cry!

    No she is three years older then me, we never spoke for a few years, after my divorce from my first wife. Well, that's what I thought it was, turned out years later, after my second wife passed, that she had written a nasty letter to my sister, which I never knew about, which caused the rift...

    How Treatable Is Ptsd?

    I remember being told, when they stopped my therapy, that I had too many issues going back over too many years? Then, when I asked why the therapy was stopped, they said, .............I was cured??

    I Can't Cry!

    I can relate very well to that, as it takes a lot to make me cry, and when I do, it's always when I'm alone. I think it was because we were brought up not to show any emotions, my sister is totally different to me, which is weird as we were both brought up in the same strict regime?

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I feel a bit pissed off today, this weather really bugs me, and with the nights drawing in that makes it a lot worse? I don't want to slip back into depression again, as I feel like I've come a long way in the last couple of months.

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    I'm just grateful that I had the confidence to go out and have a meal at a local supermarket cafe today. That will be my second time this week, I never had the confidence and ability to do that a few months ago. I'm well chuffed with myself, I can't believe that I've come that far in such a...

    For Ever Alone?

    You might think it's impossible just now, but no one knows what the future will bring. I felt exactly the way you feel a few months ago, but even though I say it myself, I'm totally amazed at just how far I have come since then. I was at the point of calling it a day, I was so depressed and...

    Nightmares

    Yea! I dread going to bed as well, as I just know that I won't get to sleep. I feel like a master in a big wheel, running like mad and getting nowhere? I do most of my sleeping between 5am to 10am, and that will get even less now that the winter nights are creeping in? I had my first "normal"...

    For Ever Alone?

    Your not alone, just by coming in here and telling us your story, you have made friends already, all be it cyber ones, but friends all the same. I am alone now, and have been since my wife passed almost two years ago, I thought the worst, at that time! Now I have made friends from all over the...

    Poll Has PTSD Caused You To Attempt Suicide?

    Yes, I came really close once, it was not long after my wife passed and I was feeling really low, it was a phone call that stopped me. The call came from a cyber mate, who lives in Canada, had an idea of what I was planning, and his call stopped me.

    Suicide Attempt For Help

    Yea! we knew a couple of people like that when I was in the ambulance service, they were well known by all the emergency services? They didn't realise that they were wasting the emergency resources in their attempt to get attention? We always found, that if a person really wants to do away with...

    Has It Happened To Anyone?

    Has It Happened To Anyone?

    Aye! it takes my brain a while to sort where I actually am when I first wake up, it gets so confusing? It s a horrible feeing to have, and leaves me feeling really scared as well. The nightmares are so realistic as well, right down to every detail, it's like going through the whole terrifying...

    Has It Happened To Anyone?

    I wish mine would disappear from my memory, but because they are all 100% "play backs" of real events, that I went through, they are with me all the time?

    Who Do You Hide Your Ptsd From?

    I hid it from all my late wife's family, in fact it was her who told them, when they came to see her one day, and I was out having a therapy session, (it was a few years ago) and they asked where I was. Rather than make up a cover story for me, she told them everything? I got a lot of stick and...

    Today

    That's exactly what my late wife said, and no body could answer that question? Of course we were both devastated with the news, but the worst part was when the doctors told her that she couldn't have any corrective treatment, as her heart was weakened so badly with the emphysema she already...
