@Chris516 How do you know that your friend thinks that you you matter to her?
That was a pretty sad premonition your friends partner had about dying on the next tour. Your friend would have felt overwhelmed by it all. Probably still blames herself! If you want to help this girl, you need to...
This is a PTSD site and we all have drama's because we are all so stressed, drama comes with the territory.
@Radise You have told us all the facts and you have admitted your own mistakes... Tell your uncle what you told us and see what happens. Your uncle obviously means something to you and I...
I see the situation you are in, as extremely difficult... One part of you wants to follow your faith and the other part would dearly love to experience something other than the experience of your memory so close to home.
Just remember that you already have a beautiful heart and your intentions...
Both of my children are very different to each other. The one thing they have in common is their need to help their mum! Their mum was very cruel and vindictive for most of their life. Today their mum is riddled with fear and my children don't know how to help, but they do protect her :)...
Before I left home, I switched off. When I had enough, I went home! I didn't complain to myself and then kept trying again and again, until there was no more agoraphobia. With claustrophobia, I tossed a coin with a friend and lost. My friend stayed close and encouraged me to do my job by giving...
I know this sounds stupid. If you can't change something, change the way you look at it

Your mother is playing the victim and is trying to get you to feel sorry for her... My daughter went through this since she was nine years old and my daughter has suffered terribly from having to be the mother figure for her mother and it really does suck. If you get fed positives through your...
If someone has a strong fear of abandonment... That same person could have the same fear of communicating! They don't trust their own words for argument sake, but still need to feel loved.
@macca Your husband only said what he said because his own distress is rising.. Outside stresses can destroy a community! Having children that are not mainstream are emotionally difficult and it isn't deliberate on their part, it just happens. I hope you guys can get through this hurdle, soon...
You come across to me, @Chris516 as somebody who loves to help people. I see you put your heart into it, being for the reason you are on here asking questions!
I suggest that you read the forums and ask questions about what interests you and leave your friend out of it unless there is a common...
Your friend is cutting you out of her life because something in your behaviour upsets her (she gets scared). If she has PTSD... Then after 10 years you would know what frightens her (triggers) and what caused the trauma and you should be able to work within her needs. But obviously, you don't...
@doublelife89 May I tell you about cancer. Cancer is a cruel disease! The pain starts to send you "mad" The thoughts that go through the sufferers mind! There had to be a reason why your dad did what he did? And it wasn't psychosis in my belief!
My friend Kristine, met her best friends...
