Hey digger long time no speak how are you? Xx

Thanks in advance guys!! :)

I can totally relate to this quote. I just cannot fall asleep at all & as Sam says it takes exhaustion to take over. I have no sleep pattern! I dread night times. I wind myself up because everyone else is sleeping!!! Why can't I? I know that even before the day has started it's ruined...

It's comforting you all agree but it's soooo wrong!!! We should be allowed to live and be who we are! Does anyone think part of the illness is from hiding? Or made worse due to hiding? Xxx

I feel the same. This past week has been rubbish. I want to stop tensing up and screaming in my head everytime I get even a slight memory. I've panic attacked alot this week and it get on your nerves. I feel like shouting 'thats it, thats enough, you win'. I want to relax but I'm too...

This thread is great & shows the group support a member when they needed it. That's what being heres all about. @EvenStrongerNow to write all of that must have really took it out of you! Bless you! I've not been able to do it yet, on here or personally. I also have a problem with traumatic...

Welcome! This forum has done wonders for me. If nothing else it's a place you don't have to hide everything and carry on. I also feel normal when I'm here. We are all pretty much on the same journey although our experiences and traumas differ. Nice to Meet you Officer! :)

Welcome, I am a newbie to this forum - you will get support here and maybe that will help you find the best answer :)

@Hope4Now I have to agree with you. It's like you can switch on and off most of the time. It's like answering the phone at work, when you pick the phone up you are an entirely different person. It wasn't until I switched off due to being happy and content with life that the PTSD came out and...

This thread is one of the most emotionally charged ones I've read. I want you to all know how brave you are to even write stuff down & share your stories. @mytai please know I've been there and I mean this from the bottom of my heart - stay safe, don't hurt yourself - I feel like I'm right...

I deserve to have time to slow down, stop & be ill. Without this I cannot begin to heal

Oooooh Pancakes!!! Is it dinner time yet? I feel like a little kid I'm excited!! Traditionally - Fresh orange juice with segments of fresh orange or mandarin & a small sprinkling of sugar. Mmmmm really can't wait now! :) Brilliant Idea!!! :) Sooooooo it's pancakes for breakfast lol. I have...

I am grateful for my eldest son who is 15 today! He is smart, understanding, funny, caring and kind - everything you would want your child to be :)

:D and they say we need help lol! Thanks for your reply! It's good to giggle & make light of things sometimes. I find that other peoples 'caveman' mentality makes me laugh. I find myself thinking 'can you imagine going on a full flashback meltdown in front of the snooty cow at work?' - or...

Honestly? When you get your diagnosis you question whether you've been holding this in all your life! I think we all learn to hide at times. It is such a shame there is stigma regarding mental illness and we feel we have to do this to 'fit in' or be 'normal'. It takes alot of energy and...

I don't think theres any rules. We are all very diverse people so it explains why are illnesses and traumas are too. Each different and unique but we are all here & here for one another. Sharing experiences is the way we can help each other. There is no right & wrong and no scales to...

@NoWhereKnowWhere my missions complete then :)

@WhiteSwan it's scary how similiar we all are at times. It's horrifying how many of us there are! And I think it's pretty amazing that for whatever reason we all found our way here. Love this forum & it's support - I enjoyed reading your post - interesting stuff :)

@Sally sue I don't think I can answer your question but I just had to reply! The dramatic your mum said you were, my mum was the same!!! I am a 'highly strung drama queen' was the exact term used. So it's nice to meet you! :) I hope someone with a bit more knowledge can shed light on your...

@NoWhereKnowWhere If it's a bad day (caged in my head post) I can send in me buddies!! Brian & Nigel can sort anything! People sometimes think I'm crazy. If they saw me talking to a stuffed dog & a furby about my worries - They would know I was :D Where is duckypoos? I think you need a hug!!! Xxx

Sleep? Please translate as this is alien to me! Hence I'm still awake, even after sleep meds, at this hour. Looks like no sleep until tomorrow night then :S

@NoWhereKnowWhere Unfortunately I can relate to your story & trauma you've experienced. If this is any consolation I too ask myself the same questions. Over & over again they circle me like birds above my head, sometimes I despair & go totally off on one. I think this helps you though! It...

@onesie I hate it when they say that! Right with you on that one :)

I'm a book person - I study serial killers, weird! I have since I was a kid. I read ALOT! I'm really enjoying Val McDermid at the moment. I will confess to being a crime channel addict! Criminology is my passion! I'm like a human library when it comes to any info. I'm glad we have a...

@Starlightdreamer i've nearly killed Brian he's showing his wear now! I never had one as a kid!! At 34 I decided I needed one?? Works tho ;)
