Just wanting to add that I'm not suicidal or at risk of self harm or harming anyone else. I put it under the 'depression and suicidal ideation' section because it feels like depression at the moment.

For the past few weeks I've been feeling ok and managing all of my responsibilities better than I have done in a long time. Then today at around lunchtime suddenly came crashing down. No idea why but I'm feeling completely overwhelmed and struggling to focus enough to write this down. My partner...

Most of my childhood memories are just fragments. Even significant ones. Its normal not to remember all of the details of anything that happened while you were very young. You dont need to tell your doctor any details. Just explain your symptoms and you suspect it may be related to something...

I went shopping with my son. The days highlight was winning 10 chocolates in the claw machine lol.

I don't think one gender has it worse than the other. Society needs to be more open to talking about male gender equality. There is a lot to gain for women and men by allowing this conversation. So long as it's respectivelful. Making it into a man vs women war isn't going to get us anywhere...

Good luck with your future garden @Santa_Laurie. I hope to see an update when you settle into a new place. @gizmo I hope you are able to start up a new garden again. Life's too short not to do the things that bring us joy.

Lol turns out it was still selected.

Congratulations! Youre doind a great job! Keep going.

I think the dress is perfectly ok for the occasion. Dress it up a bit more with accessories. Family members are usually much more critical than friends or strangers. It's because they feel comfortable enough to get away with it. If you're really not happy with the dress can you borrow one or buy...

You re so strong to have stood up to your father like that at such a young age. You are a good and compassionate person to have cared for him when he needed it most. I am sorry you never recieved the apology you so deserved.

Being in my car use to make me feel safe until I had an accident last year. But I still feel safer on the road than at home. For me being at home has never felt safe, im always looking for an escape route. Movies can be helpful. A good comedy can sometimes shift my mood. Its obviously best to...

Rest in peace little one. Thank you for standing up for him when no one else did Momofthree. I'm sorry you couldn't save him.

Well actually the passionfruit aren't ripe at the moment.

I love growing my own food. Growing up I had no experience with gardening at all but it has always been something that I felt drawn to. I started out growing things in pots but for many years everything would quickly, shrivel and die : / Eventually I start to research the plants I wanted to...

I've learned to accept pain as part of life (both physical and emotional). I think knowing this frees me up emotionally from the stress of trying to control it. I find I have more space to allow ther things to take priority in my life. That alone provides much relief.

Oh I want to scream sooo much sometimes too! Can you find another outlet for your voice: art, writing, "singing" along to heavy metal music, theatre? What about writing an article about something you are passionate about and send it to a local newspaper? What about screaming into a pillow or...

What kind of treatment is husband receiving for his PTSD? I think he needs to change tactics, even if that means hospitalisation until he is no longer a risk to others. The only way you can deal with the situation is to remove yourself and the children. I wish I could give you an alternative but...

I wrote a list of 102 things to do when you are bored at home (for the kids) but it's also good for adults! Hopefully it will put an end to "I'm bored" all day long.. lol.

I was sketching daily for a while. Afterwards I would keep them for a few days and then burn them. The content was unsettling but it felt like something I needed to put down. Destroying the pictures was the only way get rid of the negitive feelings I associated with them. Maybe it is a...

Yes I had emdr and really struggled with it for months. Much of that time felt unbearable. Then one day it was like a switch flipped and I felt better. There are other treatment options. it would be worth discussing with youtr therapist.

Good luck. Hope to see a picture.

I usually can't sleep until after midnight. Then wake at 6am. I'm also getting up every hour or 2 to feed my baby. I use to be awake due to anxiety but once the anxiety started to wear off it was replaced with over active brain. I read a lot at night to deal with the stimulation and have been...

Well said Arfie. You always articulate things so well. Rebelgirl what you describe sounds a bit like agoraphobia. Have you tried exposure therapy?

You are not obliged to tell them anything. Just reveal whatever you feel comfortable with.

Im looking for something indirect. We dont talk about these kinds of things and Im afraid if I let on I know something is up, she will not be able to handle it. Maybe I could leave web page up or something. @scout86 I think she would be more open to couples therapy. That could be a good...
