I don't want to sound harsh but I think your being very selfish. I don't know your personal circumstances but everyone with PTSD is a sufferer and has coped with horrific traumas , to want to die and regret you didn't and then be pissed of by it seems pretty heartless. As a mother to three boys...

I think isolation for PTSD sufferes is personal to their own circumstances and issues. I go into isolation too but usually after flashbacks , this also leads into severe anxiety . I usually isolate from one to three days then after that I'm fine . It's not that I want to but the anxiety, panicky...

I'm so sorry to hear about your dilemma, but ultimately you have to do what's comfortable for u regardless of n e ones input or advise, ive had acupuncture nd every treatment going but stuck with the one I was comfortable with . Sorry to ask but is your diagnosis PTSD?

I don't need to panic when I speak too much and am hyper

They work me fantastically , best thing I ever did. Went from smoking 20 a day to vapouring. On no nicotine but tobacco flavour, only prob is it's constantly in my hand or in my mouth I'm sure I'm vapouring far more than I smoked!!! I do it my office too where as with smoking I had to go...

I so wish I could get another job but apparently I'm over qualified , yes I so dread my job on a daily basis , I luv my job but hate the way it works? My line manager is a total complete control freak that has and continuously mentally mashed my head up but all the time arguing and that causes...

I don't need to panic when my t says she understands my pain and I question how could she????? She could and never will understand or feel my pain, my anger and or my strength to continue my life on a daily basis

Where rooting for you x good luck.

I'm really sorry that you too was so distressed , I think it's a really gid idea taking a union rep with you. Unfortunately and fortunately my work know about my cptsd as they have supported me , but also I'm asked to sign letters to say that I will go home If I experience flash backs etcetera...

I'm sure u are really good at lots of things , look deep into heart let it open and speak from your heart and not your mind

I'm good at my job. I am good at listening to someone who needs support I am a good friend I love zumba and I'm very good at it I love my family and am always there for them I'm good at , well almost good at using my techniques I've learnt in my therapy I'm a really good cook too

I'm not really sure what the answer is but I do know that I went through life blaming myself for the multiple abusers that abused me. It took many years to accept that wasn't the case. I don't think anyone from the age of 6 understands abuse and I suppose the sick grooming starts and then...

Hi and welcome I'm not in Scotland but not too far , london. When I read your post I thought about me because that's how I was a few months ago . Stick with it and if your partner is understanding he will learn to deal with you and sometimes the unpredictability as a PTSD sufferer. Would you...

@random girl. When I read your post I felt like it was my husband writing about me. It mirrors us so much. I have cptsd , and as a result of my continuous explosive outburst from something that was usually so small we sadly decided to seperate two years ago Eventhough we loved each other deeply...

@munkinmama I think you should be happy that you are alive today and your children still have a mum. You story is very sad but unfortunately not out of the realms of typical abuse. You must have been so low to have tried to take your life but then some sense of " oh my gosh what have I done?" to...

@DOO6 it's ok to feel like you do, and on this site nothing is silly as everyone's issues, traits, problems that are personal and meaningful to them and that's why we come on here to share and gain some knowledge , support and understanding without being judged. There were a few occasions a...

Hey eagle, really well done. As I was reading your post I could feel your excitement and I was smiling reading it. What an achievement , keep smiling and flirting lol and enjoy, deal with the symptoms of PTSD as they occur but you will be fine. Well done

Hi still, well done for staying clean for three years. Unfortunately excessive alcohol and drugs can leave you with depression or make you depress. I'm not a great medication taker and rely heavily on alternative therapies to help me, unfortunately I'm going to make you scream because I'm a...

I don't need to panic when my boss is being a control freak I don't need to panic when my house phone rings at night I don't need to panic at the thought of walking through an alleyway I don't need to panic when I hear someone has been raped I don't need to panic, I need to be stronger and...

I'm proud of you Laurie and so would your dad be. A lot to cope with but your doing great .well done , no amount of flowers or wreaths are going to bring your father back , cherish the beautiful memories you have in your heart because no one can take them away from you. X

I think I'm in agreement with solara , that's a long time for an episode. When I have mine they generally last a few days three to four at max. But my husband although we are separated will always touch base via messages or phone calls on a daily basis to see if I'm ok and if I don't reply to...

That must have been so distressing for you I'm so sorry you went through that. I'm not sure how I would cope. I often think if I would be consumed with anger at how they destroyed my life , if I would confront them or if I would emotionally break down? Eventhough I don't fear them any more I'm...

Thanku I hope so too

Thankyou Laurie x chin up xxx

Why do we suffer? Why do cry? Why do we get angry? I don't know why. Could it be our diagnosis? Of PTSD! Is it the result of trauma ? From a she or a he! Why are we lonely ? Why are we scared ? Why are we so helpless? On our souls that we have bared ? Why do we panick ? Why do we stress? Why...
