i am a straight woman but caanot orgasm unless i imagine myself in the role of an abusive male. Help.

I`ve had this in literally every job I`ve had. Believe it or not it`s a combination of jealousy, inadequacy and poor management - on her part, and on the part of your boss. So yes, go to the union. And ensure that you have ticked all the boxes before even hinting that you might have contacted...

@Ice_Fire, I don`t know if that was meant for me but it certainly is appreciated. It`s comforting to know others get it too - I came off the site because I couldn`t stand everyone almost stuck in a masochistic rut of emotionally vomiting their experiences over everyone else repeatedly. When...

anxiety also causes me to have cripplig self doubt about who I am - mainly because my mind goes blank. I am known for being extremely witty, quick, bright, perceptive, but if I am around someone who triggers me the above is exactly what happens. It can happen immediately I meet them for the...

people have asked me why i never come on this site anymore - thankyou for demonstrating my reasons so succinctly. We have all suffered, we have all ... god knows, experienced trauma no one should ever have to, and we are struggling in a world where for us all is dark, all is hopeless, all we are...

seems to me there is a balance to be struck. It is important to have and build a support network - this is healthy. But it`s also healthy to do so at your own pace. There seems to be little knowledge of the reasons behind the insistence to tell others in the `real world` so this may be a good...

Just in case anyone was wondering my bloods al came back clear. A miracle given the alcohol abuse from the last 2 decades. I guess drinking water really does help. Thankyou again for the support X

We will survive. We think we can`t. That the loneliness is too much; the pain, the terror, the despair. But we will get up, each day. And put one foot in front of the other. And survive x

You are in hell, Panda. I know. My heart is with you. As are my thoughts, hug and a little bit of my soul if you`ll have it. X

Thankyou so much everyone; really. You`ve made me cry, but in a good way which is a first for me in a long while. I`d forgotten how awesome this site is. Massive :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: to all of you. Really. I have a few friends, it`s just the friendships seem to be getting more...

Thankyou for the posts guys, though I have been scared into making an appt with an emergency gp this morning. As you say, I didn`t want to die. When I am `me` I so like myself and my life. I hadn`t been on here for about 3 months before yesterday, maybe 4, because I couldn`t handle the listing...

*Sigh. This site has helped me through some very difficult times indeed. I took an overdose on Friday night. This was in response to the helplessness and frustration at the lack of support from the nhs. I have contracts finishing, due to commitment phobia I find permanent work very difficult to...

Hi all; I`m really sorry to invade but i can`t seem to post a new thread within this area; I took an overdose friday night and just seeking practical advice etc. SwordsPandaGirl I`m so sorry to hear what you`ve been through, and I do know exactly how you feel right now. I really do. :(

people with ptsd suffer massively with blame and concern for other people`s feelings. Everyone on here has said the same thing - and there are a lot of very complex beings on here so take heart that the advice is universal. You are an amazing young woman to be able to have relationships still...

We have to put our recoveries and futures and healing in the hands of those that because of how little our pasts and the effects have been investigated over the years, have little more than guesswork and the power within the dynamic we have with them, to offer us. Anything, anything at all...

They're not complaints. It's called ptsd and I feel for you terribly. I do know how you feel. When I as badly triggered it was so bad I took an overdose. It's like you just cannot see any good in your world at all. Just dark. I can relate. You're not alone. The solution isn't a quick fix...

I would say the same. Def do what feels right to you. If he's tired of waiting then he's not that patient. And def not worthy of you and the awesomeness that will ensue if he gets to have a relationship with you. Good luck hun.

I`m afraid I have no transport to offer but happy to travel. Am in London :-)

There is one thing that strikes me here and that is your self-awareness. There are many individuals on ptsd and we are all at different stages of our own journey. You have evidently come to the point where you are able to evaluate and question your own behaviour even though (thanks to the sheer...

We choose to put ourselves back together when the desire for more is strong enough, and so are we.

lol feel free - it`s sort of bridget jones / anything you like :)

Hi Paddy...I`m so sorry for your experience. I always find it incredible to imagine any other industry where if the customer was belittled and patronised that the service provider would still be vindicated and there would be no recourse for complaint and / or him getting his a*se kicked. But hey...

ps i dpn`t do everything my therapist suggests - even a professional who you feel you really connect with just cannot understand wgat it`s like to try to survive day in day out with this really awful disorder. and we sufferers do hurt the ones we love most - from a variety of places - we don`t...

It is tough - the mantra is to stay with people who are positive, don`t get `involved` with those who are negative etc. It`s a mantra us peeps with ptsd would love to adhere to if we weren`t living it day and day out. The one and only thing I would say is ... the person you are with has to be...

Hi Jacqueline, Welcome to the site, it's been a life saver for me, I hope you find it just as helpful. I was diagnosed a little over a year ago and have them further self diagnosed with complex ptsd as like you my symptoms go back to when I was tiny - I was selectively mute until I was 5...
