    Why do people lie?

    My eldest daughter & I have experienced so many lies, false promises made, or make- up gifts that came at a very high price. Recently it happened again & we were both left asking each other - where are we going wrong, she was aware of the lies but this one was a blatant 'in your face, not a...

    Repressed memories

    It's difficult to know at times what to believe - I struggle with that, but then there has to be a reason why I can see & now remember the things I do. I don't understand how they can be blocked out for so long - but I kinda relate it to childbirth - when asked, no woman remembers the pain they...

    Why do people lie?

    My ex husband is a classic example. He was even willing to lie in court after swearing on the Bible - it blew me away that even with all the evidence he still seemed to think he wouldn't get found out. He continues to lie today, the saddest part is the children see through him now - yesterday...

    Why do people lie?

    A persons body language & facial expressions usually show all. I have been made sick to my stomach that the people I was working with have told so many lies in their attempt to cover up the fraud & deception that has taken place. How they were getting rid of 'troublesome' staff, how they...

I focused on healing & through that journey I began to write, thoughts/feelings/impressions would come to me at different times, I knew the only way to...

    Ptsd as debilitating

    Hi Catcar- do you think it is maybe that the cancer gives you something to fight for, you know exactly what & where it is & the treatments available? Yet the PTSD cannot be so defined, it's random & varied attacks that come out of the blue. It doesn't eat away your body, it robs you of heart &...

    Ptsd as debilitating

    If it's any consolation you are doing amazing by having a husband & staying in your job. I had recent trauma at work & a car accident that tipped me over the edge to finally a diagnosis of PTSD - in a way I could feel it coming, that urge to just check out, the sense again that I couldn't...

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    I feel ashamed again, I've known for a while now that people at work & my perpetrator were stalking me & meddling with me online.

    Migraines

    I hhave had a lot of trauma, most recently intense bullying in the workplace, cyberstalking & a car accident. When I moved away from D.v I would get tension type/stress headaches but panadol would get rid of them. These are full blow migraines for which panadol/nurofen does not ease & they wipe...

    13 Reasons Why. On Netflix

    When I made the healthy decision to not go back to the domestic violence I had been subjected to, I remember the escalation of fear, that hypervigilance of having to stay alert, wondering what we would be subjected with next, bullies always find a way to meddle & intervene with your life, the...

    What Makes You Feel Safe?

    I hoped after moving away that my workplace would be safe - I work in a hospital. But these people brought in an employee that was just like my abuser & it was done intentionally.
