I use "It's ok, it's ok" to soothe myself. It's alright, it's alright" is another one. They help me. They are my best two and the ones that i can think of at the moment. For suicidal stuff, besides my bed I laminated an A4 piece of paper with a picture of a nice flower and then typed "Be Safe...

I lose the ability to function normally for some reason if hubby is away for too long.

My mother thought is was an affront to herself that her child had a mental illness. Not possible in her mind. She unfortunately will always be in denial, my father can see that something is wrong with his little girl, but chooses to keep silent as he loves his wife too. Parents do not like...

Invalidation made me create another self to put on, a fake mask for the world, invalidation is also like falling through the cracks of society, in that no one sees the signs of abuse, you are in fact an invisible being to everyone.

"Soldier on" Mum says this one and I hate it. "The sun will come out tomorrow" is another. Mum comes out with all the old sayings as they where taught to have a carry on attitude no matter what, they just do not understand. That is why I am sure that there is a few skeletons in the family...

I do not want to get my therapist into trouble. But in a crisis I can phone her I also email her as there is not a lot you can cover in a hour session every 2 weeks. So the emails keep her up to date with what is going on with me and is useful for her to know me better.

No I can't report it as the abuse I suffer at the hands of teachers would be called ignorance and they are probably all dead now. The one incident that was brought to the attention of the head master I was tossed out of the school and the teacher got to stay hows that for justice. At last...

I do not like dealing with people as I never know if I am going to get into trouble and that can includes my husband and my therapist. It is like I never know what is waiting for me around the corner. I also cannot go into car parks as road rage gets to me if something triggers me etc. I have to...

Okay I thought cool post but most of you are not deaf compared to me. (Sorry I just get frustrated with people who say they have a hearing lost but find out that theirs is mild compared to mine, it is hard having CPSTD and being deaf) I have lived my whole life with severe to profound hearing...

Thearpist is the best as she understands better than my husband, he does his best and so does my daughter. So I am lucky in a way to have these people in my life. Husband had stuck by me for 30 years and only in the last 10 years did we find out what was really wrong with me, he is my rock but...

Being a mum I brought up the children then to help with the income into our family I went to work. Now unbeknown to me I did not know back then that I had CPSTD and I have never lasted in a job more than a year. I work part time now and I am my own boss (mow lawns) if I am sick I can defer the...

Um if you wanted split it up you could have put a section for adult things and then another for children as or better still have another box saying child or adult (like war vets would come under adult and childhood sexual abuse under child), it might have broaden the poll to much. I find it...

I do not know if you have on your phone, (caller id) a thing that tells you who's calling you. In Australia we do. If my mother rings I just do not answer it. do not know about mobile phones but maybe the number shows up who's calling. It took my 40 years of my life before I took a stance...

I am not sure that it is going to be over water. You have got to factor in the scientist and making and enhancing the resources that we have. Why are we going to fight over oil when can have electricity power by the sun,water, wind power not coal energy. Scientist will make synthetics to...
