    Question - do you use a service dog?

    Hello, I'm Another One With PTSD

    Thank you Anthony. I'm going to go to the park now and have a think, maybe try writing down things from the accident and see what comes up. I'm not sure picking my brains will throw up much of interest, but I'm always happy to answer questions. Have a lovely day :)

    Nightmares - A Fear Of My Existence

    goingonhope - that is an awful dream (the one about your son), you poor thing, it must have really shaken you. I manged to use Wilfire's trick to stop nightmares for a while (although my nightmares weren't repetitive, so I just focussed on general happy thoughts before sleep), but now I try and...

    Hello everyone, I’m Daisy. I just found this site and there’s a lot to look through, I sympathise with all I’ve read so far, but haven’t found any experiences similar to my own – so I’m hoping to get any advice or recognition (there’s loads of knowledge on here!) Nearly a year ago I was on...
