Hi guys,
It occurred to me today after having spent the past few days in recovery mode after a panic attack that I feel an immense about of guilt over the suffering I put on my partner. He tries his best with me, looks after me and asked me how he can be more supportive in making sure I feel...
so for the past week I've been on Citalopram (celexa) and I have been feeling very tired and waking up a few times a night. I thought this was either the meds or just lack of sleep. Anyway today my partner didn't have work so he laid in bed and noticed that I am now constantly twitching and...
Today all I wanted to do was see my mother and tell her I could no longer see my abusive father and that if she wants to see me it will have to be on her own as I can't take the emotional torment anymore.

This morning I had my first panic attack in two years and now I'm absolutely terrified. I've had two weeks off work for an infection and I'm supposed to go in for an 8 hour bar shift tonight but thinking about going in sent me into a horrible attack and now I'm left sitting on the kitchen step...
So, I should start by saying I love my mother and in many respects she's been a decent, loving woman to me which is more than a lot of people can say about their mothers, crazy respect in the fact that she brought up me and my brother while coping with an alcoholic husband (my father/abuser) and...
Hi guys, I'm Ivi (pronounced Ivy, of course)
I'm a sufferer of 9 years, I figured it is time to admit to myself that it might be harder than I thought it'd be to live with PTSD. I suppose I'm the 'head in the sand' sort of person and I'd prefer to say it's not a problem. So a long story short I...
