I can identify with what you are saying. I don't have DID, although my therapist was not sure for awhile. What happens for me is that in certain situations I lose touch with my healthy adult and live through the eyes of my inner child. It used to annoy a lot of people as i spoke with a...

My mother has definitely mellowed with age. She has become a kind and generous person. Anyone who meets her thinks she is absolutely wonderful. I am happy for her, but if I am totally honest I am also a bit jealous - why is it that she gets to move on and shift behaviours ( without any...

A really deep and thought provoking topic.... this has been my experience... My inner critic tells me I am not supposed to amount to anything, and sabotages anything good in my life. I accept my inner critic is part of me and my life and is just trying to protect me and stop me from getting...

I just realised no one in my life knows I have ptsd except my therapist. And I too feel guilty for having this illness. I would like to think that if people truly loved you they would support you. I know for me I fear rejection if I tell people and I don't want to be a burden. I don't have any...

Hi jeeps. Quite often I am triggered by daily life into past traumas. When this happens I do feel very young, almost like I have regressed or something. My coping skills also change and I revert to coping skills I used as a young person. I quite often get caught up in a"fantasy world" that I...

Thank you ghost. This made my day!

I said yes because I have at numerous times over my life put myself in high risk situations hoping I would die. I found it very hard to admit this. So much easier to be in denial.

Hi. I have experienced something similar i think. It started initially because I had very intense flashbacks and then someone in my life at present did something that reminded me of my flashbacks which was like a double whammy. My body couldn't cope with the extreme stress it was under so it...

Happy Birthday! Have a great one

I am feeling alive and connected. I am in a new relationship with a man and am experiencing so many new things and overcoming so many fears and hang ups. I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster. I feel overwhelmed and frustrated but I also feel peaceful and happy....

I really like this thread! It is really helpful seeing how others experience ptsd. Whilst we are all unique and our experience of ptsd is different i see facets of myself in others descriptions. For me how I view ptsd has changed. When i didn't know what was wrong with me I felt like I was...

Hi Flower. I feel the same way. Sometimes I get the sense that i have some dead or damaged area in the brain when I try to make a decision or use info I have stored in my brain and apply to a different situation. I find it really frustrating and sad. My therapist just thinks I have a block to...

I don't mean to sabotage this thread but feel the need to comment. Your last paragraph Evergreen I so relate to. I struggle so much when i revert to some scared child. And it really isn't a choice for me until I recognise this is what has happened.

I am grateful for my health and the ability to see my growth

I am proud of Myself for not giving up on me no matter how hard things have got or who has stopped believing in me.

It is 6 degrees tonight and gale force winds are blowing the leaves around in little whirl winds. I am snuggled up in bed watching a chick flick trying to keep warm. Looking forward to sitting in the sun tomorrow.

Today I am grateful for the friendships I have. I am grateful that I have been able to ask for their help.
