:hello: Just wanted to say Welcome to the forum. Talk all you want here, there is someone always around. We are world wide so someone is always around! Hang on till January. Savour time with your kids if they are what brings you the most joy. I know that is the case for me. Best wishes, O

I'm still behind you Nicki, I think you have done the best thing you could have given your circumstances. It has taken a great deal of courage to do the hard but healthy thing.:Hug_emoticon:

I would wait until he does it again. I would then make a scene. I would ask very loudly " Hey everyone! Does anyone else here think this man should be getting a special deal?" Embarrassment is a powerful tool. O

:hello:Hi there I am not sure if we have ever talked in any of the other threads or not, but I have read what you are dealing with right now and I really feel for you. A little back ground on me might be helpful. I have always had problems with unwanted male attention. ( I was a model years...

:hello:-Hi Diana Welcome! The saying "knowledge if not shared is useless" is a favorite of mine. I think you would agree. I am looking forward to hearing more about your experiences. The more we know, the more we know! O

:rofl:Go ahead (punn intended)Listen to the little voice in your head! O

Perhaps there is a difference between the term Recovered and Cured. When I say Recovered I mean that I no longer have any of the effects of CPTSD that I carried for my entire life up until I Went into the Hospital and Full time Therapy for five years. None. I had to re-train my brain so to...

She cat You are entitled to your own opinion of your own illness. I was not trying to say that people are talking through their buttholes if they do not agree with me. Everyone's illness is their own. I stay by what I know, PTSD is painful, difficult but people DO recover. I am one of them...

There is an excellent book called The Gift Of Fear, by Gavin DeBecker It teaches readers to listen and trust their initial "Gut" feelings. It begins with an interview of a woman who was raped. She goes through the event and what led up to it in an effort to learn if there were things she could...

Hi Browneyes, It Sounds like dissociation to me. I think its the brains way of putting pillows around our heads when things get to be too much. Ride the wave, It passes in time. Try not to loose your sense of humour about it, and possible explain to those close to you that it sometimes happens...

I have a confession. PTSD has given me super powers. I'm not kidding. I can read people on a dime. I can predict any movie out there.(They are all kinda predictable aren't they?) But seriously, I think that having grown up with Trauma I learned very early on to Figure people out. What there...

What a beautiful Thread. Your husband is very blesses to have you. You are showing courage and grace in the face of an on-going battle. You touched my heart. Thank you, O

I just finish reading a thread by this guy who was told by his doctor that he had "light" PTSD. ? . People who assume make an ass-of-u-and-me. The people who should be Diagnosing should be the ones Qualified to do so. A family doctor may think a person has it but for goodness sake leave it too...

:hello:First off, well done for coming here and trying to get this sorted out. There are lots of people here who will offer you support. I kinda think that your Doc is just covering his back. I have never heard of Light PTSD either. I would ask him to clarify what that means. Ask for a second...

Hi X, Welcome! A long time ago I heard an illustration of how Bullies are like sand paper. They rub and rub at you, all the while thinking they are cutting you up and wearing you down. BUT, in the end you are polished smooth and shinny and they are just a dirty, old, useless piece of paper that...

This is quite common. When we experience a traumatic even it is our whole body-all the senses-that record it. Sounds, phrases,smells,tastes you name it are all connected to our memories of the event. A smell can bring you right back to a memory, even one you have forgotten. This is partly why it...

You can't fix stupid and you can't fix asshole either!:rofl:

Hi Nicki, I think I can understand how you feel. I hope that you got through the day OK. I am very estranged from my sister. She is six years older than me. As soon as she was married she dropped her family cold and went to make a life for herself far away. Leaving me behind to live with my...
