    ADHD Can you have ADHD and not know it?

    Just jumping in here to say that yeah, it appears you can have ADHD and not know it. My colleague /mate/ person who gets me said “you know you have ADHD too right?” Cue funny therapy session where I mentioned this and he went “WTF you didn’t know?! That’s hilarious it’s soooooo obvious”. Well...

    Low mood vs tiredness?

    Yeah I struggle with this too, telling the difference can often be impossible. As can the cause/effect relationship. So I spend a lot of time wondering if I feel low because I’m tired, or if feeling low is making me tired. I think it does matter to some extent in that it changes the approach...

    Telling the "truth" at the funeral

    Okay so, hope you don’t mind my 2 pennies on this. I’m a funeral director so I’ve seen many, many funerals. So I’ll give you that side and then what I think about a couple things specifically you’ve said? As far as the whole funeral etiquette thing goes…err on the side of caution. For your own...

    I never thought I'd reach the age I am now

    I’ve struggled/continue to struggle with this a lot. I’m turning 30 in April and I know that’s still young but f*ck does it feel surreal. I decided when I was very little that I wanted to maybe make it to 17 because that’s the legal driving age in the UK and I love love looove cars. So to die...

    Feeling guilty for blaming deaf parents for their actions

    I don’t think it’s that either. We are in the minority with having been abused by our parents. The fact they’re Deaf doesn’t come into it honestly. Although it does bring extra challenges (isolation from peers growing up, additional responsibility as a child etc), it is not the reason. Nor is...

    Feeling guilty for blaming deaf parents for their actions

    Hi @Coda66 I’m a CODA too! Never come across someone else who’s been a CODA and has CPTSD as well from abuse by said Deaf parents. I’ve met other people with Deaf parents; not others who were abused by them. Which is the point. Ignorance isn’t an excuse. They could’ve asked for help. Were...

    Childhood My neglectful dad knows I have PTSD and he's offended

    @cheymander Hello, just popping in to say I’m untangling a lot of the exact same problems you are right now. My mother was the abusive one and my Dad the enabler. Enabler, neglectful, abusive in most ways except he never laid his hand to me. Therefore he was the “good” parent. Me and my...

    Sensate device?

    True, not nonsense if it works I guess. Unfortunately it is prohibitively expensive; I would have to save up for it or something like it. Which is why I guess I’m looking to see if anyone happens to have experience with something like it.

    Sensate device?

    Hey all, My therapist sent out an email regarding this Sensate device thing and I was wondering if anyone has heard of it, has experience of it? From what I can make out on their website, it’s a vibrating egg that is supposed to stimulate the vagus nerve? A bit like a cat purring on you. And...

    Abuse, ptsd and hair cut

    I’ve had a strange relationship with my hair. As a child it was long. Then I pestered to have it cut short. I liked it, over the weekend. And then I went back to school and was mercilessly bullied, called “man-girl”. So I grew it long again and kept it long for years. Then I went to uni and cut...

    What would you choose?

    Big house. Although tbh I’d take any house rather than paying rent 😂 One for the Scots; square sausage or link?

    What Games Are You Playing?

    I’ve got really into COD mobile these past few weeks. Never had a games console and whenever I’ve used one at a friend’s house I’ve always been terrible. But I’m actually half decent at this to my surprise! Squaredle to keep the old noggin ticking over…

    What Are Your Favourite Stress Management Activities & Routines?

    Daily things: honestly I’m not great at this. I have always tended to be an ‘ignore ignore ignore…boom!’ Kind of person. I’m working on being present more, meditating a bit. Shower first thing, whether it’s required or not. I have a pretty physical job which keeps me moving throughout the day...
