Of course I do, thank you so much

Thanks @Ocean5 ill do better tomorrow, lots of tears today, but I guess that's healing too. Thanks for being so kind

It's messed up to be on a waiting list in the first place

My t is great. He just explained how hard it can be to take on a rape case and I have to talk to the rape crisis people for assessment as to see whether or not we'd have a case or secondly if I'd be strong enough to take it on. This is the second guy who abused me more than once and lives close...

Thanks @NoWhereKnowWhere. So sad that the waiting list is so long, means the same thing has happened to a lot of people. With little understanding from my bf, feeling extra alone. Wish I could just not think about it all the time.

Feel so all over the place. Have to go on a waiting list to see rape crisis people about advice on whether I can take perp to court or not. My bf hasn't asked me how my session went sitting at home alone feeling pretty down.

I'm remembering and knowing more each day.. As painful as it is at times. Thanks @Skitzii

I feel exactly the same about opening up over email. That might be a good idea. I don't have his email address but will ask for it the next time. Thank you

Feeling depressed after my couscelling session yesterday. I didn't open up like I should have and now wish I did. Certain things came up. Is it normal to feel Down now?

Woke up crying from a dream this morning. Need to try some meditation or something. Have started keeping a diary which helps get the emotionans out. My poor mom, I love her so much xxx

Great idea @falling_wave. I might try that the next time. Great tip. Bought my mom a poetry book today to read to her when she's able. Think she'll enjoy it. Thank you xx

That's good advice. I need to keep a good routine. Part of my routine is the care assistants course I'm doing online which I found hard to focus on yesterday being so emotional. I like the course content, but it's very similar to what I'm going through right now. Maybe I could find a way to make...

Hi guys, I've got PTSD and just couldn't get out of bed today. Cried quite a bit which I suppose is better than being numb. My moms been given about two years to live so I guess I'm grieving too. Any tips on how to function normally? Couldn't even go in to see my mom today. Any advice welcome.

You're lovely and kind too @Leah Morgan. Met some kindhearted folks already. It feels good xx

That's a good idea. I'll try anything. Think I'll sign up for an online course soon. Need to keep occupied. Thanks for your reply. Called a helpline for the first time this evening and only newly posting online. It's helping I think xx

Hi guys, I was sexually abused on a few different occasions by someon I know that lives near me. We were friends. I was best friends with his girlfriend at the time. Recently I confided in a few people who one of seems to have spoken about this abuse. I received a text from his ex girlfriend (my...

Thanks for your replies guys. I'm on Xanax at the moment too. Yesterday I went for a walk, came back feeling dizzy with ringing in my ears. Lay down for a while and it seemed to pass. It's so tricky to manage. Will keep trying the physical activity. Rest is what usually helps mine. I'm just glad...

I agree with casey_03. Alcohol confuses things so much.

Yes, very very different @ combustiblelemon, that sums it up well, a very big difference. There are still some grey areas that people come across. Rape isn't a grey area it's black and white.

I once had a guy pulled off me by someone else when I was too drunk to fight him off... Let's just say it was below the belt, I was passed out and he wasn't. He was drunk, but that doesn't make him less of a rapist! There are a lot of grey areas, thus one was clearly obviously not one. It was as...

There's a fine line between rape and advantage in my opinion. Especially if the guy was a lot more sober than you. It seems that drinking and sex can come hand in hand, but it's what you and both parties find safe and acceptable is what counts. Trust me, I've been there. If both parties are in...

I'm trying out different medications and trying to stay stress free at the moment. Have you tried different medications? I'm quite up and down to be honest, it's taking time for things to even out. I guess trying new ways to help yourself is the key. I need to learn how not to panick. Easier...

hey guys, does anyone else ever get an overwhelmingly panicky feeling when struggling with symptoms? It happened to me today, I got a headache along with it. The only solution I felt would work was to lie down for a few hours. Any other tips on how to get through a phase like this? Thanks.

Once again thanks @Casey_03 for your heart felt reply. I'm so sorry you had bad experiences yourself. I guess we do all sorts of things to try and protect ourselves from hurt, past or present. Life can be so challenging, and painful at times. I'll do my best to make it work, I really think he's...

Thanks @Casey_03 you could be right about the self sabatage, I didn't think of that. It the first relationship I've had in years and the first one I've had with the ptsd so it's all a bit new. Need to open up a bit more to him.
