Congratulations! What an achievement! Good luck with it and I hope it opens many doors for you :D

Wyska, thanks for sharing. I relate to what you are experiencing and I feel something similar sometimes too. For me I would say it is more that my brain becomes 'empty', although my mouth is ready and able to speak. Over time this has diminished and I only rarely feel it when under stress and...

Disco Dancing Queen, thanks for sharing about your ongoing work. The positive steps sound really good, and I'll look up those ideas myself too. I relate to all of your current experiences, it can be a tough road sometimes. :hug: I have no doubt that in time you will improve. You are learning...

Thank you for sharing, it is a very brave thing to do. :hug: It sounds like a lot has happened, with not much space or support to reflect or process it all. A lot of what you said resonates with me, so you are not alone at all. It all sounds very difficult and scary. You have my sympathies and...

Yea, not crazy at all. I relate to a lot of what you have said. I experience disassociation and a variety of Inner 'parts', but I never lose any time or 'jump' between any, like others do. So perhaps we have similar experiences in that regard. I used to feel some parts of myself where far away...

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I can relate a lot to all of that. I especially relate to school being a safe place, and being quite good at it too. Of course, not fitting in there either as it wasn't the same space for others. I'm slowly branching out into new things and new activities, but it takes...

It is very brave of you to share, it's very inspiring. I agree with the other comments, you've made a great step in posting online here. I relate to the questions you have raised, and the emotions you feel. With the right help and care you can start to move through those. Yes, it's not easy, but...

Oh dear, I can't seem to upload a link to my sketch...or even add in a photo... Does anyone know how to do that? Or the project is doomed to fail! :D

Hey guys, I'm a cptsd sufferer and am going through the motions of adjusting to my new life with all the new details about myself and my past. It's been a rough ride this past 5 years, but I'm starting to see more calm and even peace at times. I wanted to share with you some sketches I do in...

Hey guys, I'm looking for any advice on a difficulty coming up, so I can make my mind up what to do. I'll put the background and problem below. I'm 27, have cptsd and am a freeze type. I currently have no contact with my parents or any of my family. I suffered all abuses from my family growing...

Thanks for sharing about your story. :) I have also experienced a similar childhood and am slowly working through it. :hug: I hope the forum proves useful. Just take it day by day, moment by moment. :hug: :)

Thanks for your comments guys, its interesting to hear. I find that mindfulness helps too. I'm also trying to make those times much nicer for myself now, with calming music and a nice tea and snack. I can easily forget though, and go elsewhere with my thoughts, or get carried away with myself...

I found this an amazing thread, really great to hear about others experiences and more information about it. I'm also sorry to hear about the hard times you guys have written about and shared. :hug: I'm slowly exploring this topic myself, and learning more about it. In my experience I would say...

Hey guys, I wanted to share a daily experience of mine, and wondered if anyone else has a similar experience. Every day, from 2-4pm I have a 'dip' which usually results in me struggling quite a lot with my emotions and thoughts, but which lifts quite quickly after 4pm. I know we all naturally...

jnean, That sounds like a scary time, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope some of the fear has left you and you feel better. I've had similar experiences before two, which for me I feel fall into two categories. One is when I'm experiencing a flashback any people around take scary faces, of all...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you had any thoughts or advice or techniques on this: I have an experience all the time, which varies in intensity but never goes away. It is a mixture of feeling like I have a visor infront of my face, or my head in a helmet, or being somewhere present slightly...

Hey guys, I've felt that I wanted to try with an online ptsd community for a while, and today I decided to write a post. I suffer from cptsd from an all round abusive childhood. I'm a 27 year old male, living with a lovely partner, with a real nice job, trying to get a divorce from my 'wife'...
