Hi all, Back in December when I was diagnosed I went to my Student Wellbeing Officer at university and talked with her about it. I was given a RASA (Reasonable Adjustment Student Agreement) which basically allows me extended deadlines, exam allowances etc... but she asked me if I wanted to...

Hi all, Thanks so much for all your replies. I want to just clarify a few things. I work for a family run business, where there are essentially three people with power over me - my own mother, then a new office woman, then the owner/boss. Mother doesn't know about my PTSD so she's not an...

Hi all, sorry for the late reply - moving house is a nightmare! Thanks for all your replies. I'm not on any medication, but I do try to stretch those muscles as often as possible, I just think after years of tension without relaxation they seem to be in a permanent tense! I will be going to...

Hi everyone, Really need some advice on dealing with this situation... So to those who know me/have read my diary, I was sexually abused from 14-15 by a 17-18 year old boyfriend for a year. A couple of years ago a guy I work with was accused of sexually abusing a 13-14 year old girl while he...

I'm just wondering if anyone else suffers from similar physical pains to me? I have really bad headaches every so often (once every two days, perhaps) where it feels like there's an intense pressure in my head. It subsides reasonably quickly, but I can't help but think the old method of...

I distinctly remember my Dad warning me off that 17 year old boy when I was merely 14. He told me time and again. He never liked him. Now, he refers to him as "that a**hole", but he doesn't know the half of it. How do I tell him that I, his precious daughter, was sexually abused for a year by...

I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and I knew that my history would most likely be an issue with a romantic/sexual partner, so when I met my current partner I told him flat out when I knew he was interested (I didn't want to let myself get too interested in case it all fell apart when he...

Hi everyone I'm a 21 year old student and last December I was diagnosed with PTSD, stemming from prolonged sexual abuse from 14-15 by an older boyfriend. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I was eighteen that I understood what had happened, and twenty-one when I was diagnosed! I'm back and forth...
