Its good. Will there be a my evil mothering (for my evil mother), My football (for blokes that watch football on tv and are expert referees) and my cooking disasters, for all the trauma of cooking disasters such as making meat scones or accidently poisoning people coming out soon? I'd really...

This is sought of what my therapist told me. I actually got to a certain part of my healing(about 10 years along) where I got to this sought of instant minefield of very strong emotions (as my therapist put it). I asked her if I had personalities, because I felt like I was going into all these...

Did they do a psych analysis of this person (cross out mother)? She has some thing going on, doesn't seem to show empathy or anything when they read out the verdict she seemed to smile like it was wonderful her daughter died or something. It doesn't seem like a normal reaction. Very Bizarre. I...

Welcome to the forum. I agree about no fun with PTSD. It is good to see you here.

Hi Ruff Deal, I hope that you find support here. I have PTSD which also comes from my messed up family. It's a long road but take it easy.

Well done Gamereign555 that's awesome!

Yes I cut my stepdad out of my life 13 years ago, but have grieved for the loss of the father daughter relationship 12 years later as the pain was all forgotton. I had to mourn the loss of a father that as a child I wished I had but didn't. I cut my mum out of my life twice, once when I was 19...

It does feel a bit like a spiral. Some people just don't think about negative things, they might have not learned from an early age to have situations to 'tangle' them into a wave after wave of panic It is interesting you mentioned about your extreme thoughts preparing you for flight or fight...

It sounds like because you haven't mentioned exactly what you mother did to you, that you and your inner child might not fully understand what exactly it is your mother does?Does that sound sort of right or not? If it is, it may need to be a process of continuing with councelling to get strong...

I'm wondering if anyone else has had a trouble with getting tangled into their horror thoughts from a young age. My psych said my core of my PTSD is a lot to do with my getting tangled about what my mothers emotional blackmail was about in the year after my trauma when I was 19. The other half...

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/the-dark-legacy-of-child-abuse-20110701-1gv68.html I've been wondering about it. I have had problems with work/liveliness/communities since my trauma when I was 19, making me a welfare recipient, then a disability recipient. I think maybe...

I find my inner child started trusting me when she shared with me her memories, her pain and her happiness. It took 12 years of therapy, but well worth it. My therapist said I just needed to get stronger. So perhaps it just means you need to do some more therapy which will help you be stronger.

wow. I like that the famous naturalist/botanist that discovered evolution suffered from panic attacks. Now what was his name. Charles Darwin Even Charles Darwin had a horrible time Angus, I hope that this gives you comfort.

(((Hugs))) Angus I'm sorry you have to go through that pain. No it isn't ok that you have to go through it. May I suggest that you write your feelings down. Feelings of abandonment of this severity are largely behind my PTSD and I think sometimes it is helpful to write it down to aknowledge the...

Is it possible your wife's isolation part of her PTSD is effecting her desire to connect with people in general rather than a specific avoiding church thing. I was church going before my trauma, although not regularly. I have had a bit of a phobia for 10 years of sincere love, because that is...

I believe you can get better a lot if you find the therapy that is meant for you. When I was diagnosed, I was agoraphobic and couldn't move from my couch the whole day and hyperventilated and had all day panic attacks. It took me 3 years to get diagnosed with PTSD, 5 years to get the right...

I guess it would depend on the person. I don't believe in making people sacrifises. When one person becomes a sacrifice, then all ethics are lost I think.

My self sabotage stems from a sort of rebellion. My dad picked at me and said I couldn't fail. So I decided to fail and fail and fail, and I ended up getting a degree. When I allowed myself to fail I achieved. But then I had another trauma where my dad told me to rot. But my brain unfortunately...

I would be getting a second opinion on your meds with another doctor just to rule out symptoms from meds. I have had some wierd symptoms of meds ( like feeling the world tooing and swaying like on a ship) and they do happen. Take care. Sorry you are going through this Heather. I haven't had this...

Hi Heather. Glad your back. :)

I think you will find a 5 year old does not understand the difference between right and wrong. My psychologist was telling me about how a 5 year old saying your a bad kid wouldn't understand what they were saying. They don't have a concept of it. They are copying behavior. So doubt they would...

I like it, it looks really clean. Very easy to see where to go. I wondered if the slogan was clear about the main function of the forum. I was thinking what the forum's slogan would be the first thing to suggest what the site is about. I guess I thought it would have a slogan that immediately...

It certainly sounds like some linking from your trauma is going on.Poison is better out than in I think. Sounds like me. My psych session scared me off going more than once more in 2 years because it released a world of pain and memories. It can be very intense. Your mind would only release it...

Hi Crystal. Welcome to the forum. I hope you find lots of information and support here. Sorry you went through a horrible experience.

I think your story is shocking. I wouldn't be keeping any ties. Ties are things that are supposed to join us together, not to rip our hearts apart. I would making sure all my shoelaces were coming from a good place. Confrontation is something I have done. I confronted my dad about my abuse. It...
