Fruitloop Shrink I was once sent to a psychiatrist as i had been assualted by a client at work and had pts as a result. When I walked into the waiting room the receptionist said "thank you for coming". I told her I didn't really have a choice work were sending me. She replied "most people don't...

When I am triggerered i feel unsafe so I do whatever it takes to soothe myself and feel safe. this helps ground me. Sometimes that is curling up with a blanket. I also do the "see hear feel" test. i.e name 3 things you feel, 3 things hear, and 3 things you see. I have to remind myself that...

Hi and welcome. There is a lot of support and understanding here.

I used to experience unprovoked crying all the time. I never knew why. I thought It must have been hormonal. but after reading the posts on this thread I am starting to wonder whether I just needed to release stuff stored. I don't seem to do this anymore. I still cry heaps as I am a...

well my day has just started. It is cold so snuggled up in bed with nice hot cuppa. I feel optimistic about my day

I feel sad when people think I can control whether I am going to be triggered or not. I choose not to tell people I have ptsd anymore. Other than one friend the only person who knows is my therapist- And even she at times struggles when I get triggered as she misinterprets it as behavioural or...

Ok. Thanks so much for your help! :smile:

Hi Blueskies. Wow! I thought I was reading about myself. Two Friday's ago I had a session with my therapist. I got triggered and instantly started uttering unintelligable sounds (parts of words). I then couldn't think or take anything in. As it was the end of session my therapist got me to...

Hi. Welcome to the forum

Hi Anthony. I have another question. Was just wondering if you knew why when I am on Chat it tells me that my time has expired and i need to log in again. Is this another connection issue? Thanks for your help.

Hi Anthony. I do use Firefox. I am usually wireless though so will have to look into this.Thanks heaps.

Hi I went on chat and typed one sentence and sent it and then it wouldn't let me type anything else. anuyone have any ideas? I'm not very computer literate. Thanks

Hmmmm. Well today I have felt a whole range of emotions, which was scary!!!! I felt sad this morning and grumpy. I felt disheartened as well. But now I feel tired but peaceful.

Hi Spring Rain. I have trouble feeling and expressing emotions. I had shut off my feelings for so long that when I started to feel things it would freak me out as I thought something bad might happen if I let myself feel. I have got better over the years with this. Trying to pin point exactly...

Hi Anthony. I haven't figured out how to use chat yet. Will come back to it later in the night when more time. I assume I need to log in or something. Looks good though. Never been on a chat room before.

Avatar Hi Anthony. Could I please have the attached photo as my avatar. Many thanks. Not sure where to post this so if this is the wrong area I apologise.

Hmmm very true of my state of my mind at present. I have been running all week. emotionally and physically. I ran out of my therapist's office on Friday and have just kept on going. I am not sure when I will stop or if I will return to therapy. Once I start to run I get the taste for it...

I have a few soft toys. They work sometimes when i am distressed but I prefer to hug a really soft fluffy cushion.

Hi. I really feel for you. PMS intensifies my symptoms really badly. I become so hypervigilent and moody and irrational in my thinking. I don't find it easy to regulate myself and my emotions when I have pms and usually end up triggering myself and feeling futile. I just keep telling...

I think this is awesome!! Thanks heaps. It really puts things in perspective for me.

I used to feel so sad (and for such a long time) about the fact that i am not the same person anymore. But now I feel acceptance. I miss the girl i used to be, (especially the motivation she had to do things). But I am learning to love the person I am becoming and seeing the...

I am in unfamiliar territory with what I have been feeling. I think I feel excitement. My body feels alive and alert and I have butterflies in my stomach. interesting though because I feel similar feelings when I am scared, but today it is a postive thing not fear based.
