    I have a bad habit

    This is going to sound weird but I would like some advice please. When I get flash backs or if I'm stressing or worried, I catch myself picking at my eyebrows, does anybody else do this? I don't know how to stop it and I'm fed up with people commenting on it, the one person who understands is my...

    My Mum Has Cancer

    I saw her Tuesday, the day after her biopsy, my mum didn't know this and nor did I to be fair, but apparently humans have two bowels, and the surgeon on Monday detected cancer in one of them, my mum can't remember which one it was. No one knows really much more until the results. My mum hasn't...

    My Mum Has Cancer

    She had her biopsy today, so need to wait 2 weeks for the results, the only thing I do know for definite is that she will need her overies and womb removed. I'm not sure about anything else yet. The strange thing is the fluid built up covering one of her lungs so I assumed it would be her lungs...

    My Mum Has Cancer

    I hate myself to say this but I think my mum is partly the reason why I suffer with PTSD, I struggled with my emotions when I was a teenager, I wasn't one for drinking, smoking, drugs, staying out late, but no one accepted my emotions, I wasn't the best teenager, I was the one who of scream and...

    My Mum Has Cancer

    I found out 24 hours ago, I feel like I'm gonna never cope with it, I was diagnosed with traumatic stress 2 years ago because I have had a few very abusive relationships, I was slowly getting better, then I found out my mum has cancer. I'm only 25, I'm a single mother to my daughter, I'm scared...

    Help!

    Justmehere, exactly what I was thinking, I've told D plenty of times to leave me alone and I don't see why I should tell him again. I was talking to my best friend earlier and she said he will hopefully get bored and won't bother anymore soon, so I am hoping she is correct, I've also told my mum...

    Help!

    I think if I kept telling D to leave me alone, I wouldn't want P to think "oh she's still talking to her ex" like I know I would be a bit weary if P's kept contacting him if that makes sense? Even though me and P have very good trust with each other, I'd rather my past stay in the past as I want...

    Help!

    I was in an abusive relationship with my daughters father (I will re name him as 'E') and he hasn't seen me or my daughter since she was 11 weeks old. Fast forward to 7 months I got into a relationship with someone who I will rename as 'D'. We met on a dating site. We were on off for 18 months...

    Not Hearing My Alarm

    Thank you for all your feedback. I've suffered PTSD for a few years now, and only diagnosed by my doctor a year ago. I was just getting so annoyed with myself because it's happened a lot recently, and being a single Mum with no one else to help is so difficult. Also breaking up from my ex who...

    Not Hearing My Alarm

    So this morning, I felt like the worse Mum in the world. I set my alarm, or should I say alarms, and myself and my 2 year old daughter slept through all of them. I normally hear them, but I didn't, and she missed nursery. I spoke to my Mum about it and she goes "well your just gonna have to wake...

    If You'd To Title Your Life? What Title Would You Choose?

    It's the first thing I thought of, but mine would be "Inside My Head". Edit: I am half asleep and I thought the question was directed about a book about me. I have no idea what I would call my life.

    Rude People

    Does anyone else here get very irritated when a stranger is rude to them? For example, today, I was walking out the fish and chip shop with my pushchair, which have two very awkward steps to push a pushchair down, and this man who was stood smoking his cigarette was watching me, only about 5...

    Still Upset After All This Time, But I'm Moving On

    Hiya everyone. I think this is the right place for this thread. I was in an abusive relationship with my daughter's father, our daughter was a few months old when we broke up, so I've been split with him for 20 months now and have heard nothing from him. Just now, I had a few flashbacks, which...

    Anxiety Is Always There

    Are you able to make an appointment with your school nurse who does drop ins? I can totally understand why you would be worried about your Mum, considering what happened to your sister, I am sorry to hear about her. That is good you are close to your family. This is slightly different, but my...

    Why Am I So Bitter Now?

    I feel exactly like that too! I'm trying to focus on being polite, even if someone is rude to me, which is extremely difficult, but I noticed that if I let it someone being rude get to me, that is what triggers me! So I just think positive and not let people get me down! You take care too Dahlia!

    Anxiety Is Always There

    Please, please, please get some help with how you are feeling. What about your tutor who takes the register? (I see you're from the UK and I only left secondary school 7 years ago so I am assuming school layouts are still the same). Do you have a medical person in school? I really hope someone...

    Why Am I So Bitter Now?

    Thank you for your reply! When people are kind to me, whether it's people who I know asking how I am, or even a stranger talking to me, it melts me too. It makes my day. I remember I was queuing up to get a drink from a coffee shop, and an old man, probably in his 70's, was talking to my 1 year...

    Why Am I So Bitter Now?

    To cut a long story short, I was in a very abusive relationship with my daughter's father. He was emotionally abusive, kept nagging me for sex until I gave in, his Mum went to Social Services about something I didn't even do and Social Services knew she was lying, my ex said that he hopes I get...

    Triggered By Family

    My ex-boyfriend only admitted to his behaviour at that one time only. He used to really try and twist my mind. He once said he hoped that I got my daughter taken from me, and then denied it the following week when we spoke about it. Its a sad story, I was his childhood love in school! I just...

    Other Internet Debate

    I agree with Joeylittle and the others who have commented, I don't think this is trauma. The internet is a horrible place, where people say a lot of horrible things, people hide behind a computer. I don't think this is PTSD. I was diagnosed with PTSD by my doctor, because I had come out of a...

    Triggered By Family

    My situation was slightly different, my sister used to purposely trigger me to get me angry and wound up. I realised once I had moved out that it was her who was bullying me. I moved out because I fell pregnant (it was my daughters father who resulted me in getting PTSD but I think my sister was...

    Paralysed By Anxiety

    Ice_Fire, your first post you worded it exactly how I get. I've been on and off this forum, I only come on when my anxiety is really bad, like now. I've been feeling anxious a lot lately, and I don't even know why.

    Anyone Taking Lofepramine?

    My doctor diagnosed me with PTSD along side depression and anxiety. So he prescribed me with some other tablets which was supposed to help me with all 3, but it made me stupidly tired and I couldn't function, so he prescribed me with Lofepramine instead. I was on them for about a month but I...

    All These Dreams Aren't Helping Me!

    I have dreams near enough every night at the moment, last night I had a dream I was back with my ex-boyfriend. I only split up with him last week. Well, when I say split up, he went out and got drunk, went back home and told me over the phone I was nothing. He then apologized and told me he...
