Hi, It was interesting to read your post, thankyou for sharing. I myself suffer from Complex PTSD after being in a physically and emotionally relationship for over 20 years (how did I last that long), feel so weak that I let myself put up with so much shit for so long but its complicated, I was...

Hi there, back on the forum again.. Just wondered if you have tried hypnotherapy for complex PTSD which is what I have. Done all the CBT stuff without any benefits so was thinking of giving this a try, not available on the NHS but I'm getting desperate...

I am with you on that, the crushing headaches make you just want to lie down..

Support is the best thing, not isolation even though that is what you want at the time. I really try to push myself to do at least one thing during the day, I appreciate that some days you just don't want to do anything though but its worth a least a try

MsPriss I too was left penniless and homeless, if it wasn't for the support of my family, I don't know what would have happened I really didn't care, just had to leave! What made the final decision for me was my ex moving his then girlfriend into our house so we all lived together for about 3...

BoN-bOn I agree, its more painful now than actually being in the thick of it! I was in survival mode for so long trying to bring our kids up and shielding things from them but they did experience my abuse

Exactly the same with me, I left my abusive relationship 8 years ago now and thought I had gotten over it and moved on. It's now come back to haunt me, flashbacks, voices, smells. Seeing a psychiatrist next week to talk this through, I've also been self harming too...

I also feel this way so you're not alone, I've just self harmed, again! Really think my head is going to explode... don't know what to do with myself

It's really refreshing to read, I always think maintaining a sense of humour whenever possible is so important... We must all try to do this..

I've had very strange experiences where I wake up and smell my ex abusive partner, I left him 8 years ago now. The smell is so real and I have to wash my bedsheets every couple of days. I also take walks and feel like I have big heavy feet - wish all this would go away.. I've recently self...

Hi Crazy Diamond, Thank you so much for messaging me. I agree life on benefits sucks! But is a necessity right now, shit happens! I also turned to alcohol when I was with my abuser, I had to to get through the day. Now I don't have alcohol in the house and I have learnt to drink in moderation...

Hi Ladee, I'm so pleased to have a reply, thank you so much. It is was it is and I am happy to find people who know what it is like and who do get it. I hope you are doing ok and finding the strength to move forward.

Hi, I really appreciate your message, thankyou and good to know you are in the UK too. What are you doing to cope with your PTSD may I ask? My life is a daily struggle at the moment and I'm unable to work but I'm also very restless, I don't know what to do with myself.

Hi, I'm Kay from England and suffering from PTSD after being in a violent relationship for over 20 years. I have recently been referred to a psychiatrist but hoping to chat with people that are in a similar situation who understands what this is all about. Thankyou
