Wow... a triangle... Reservoir, Eltham and Bulleen myself (us). Anyone for Greensborough and we've made a square! :D

Hi are you guys still meeting up? I would like to come along as on the Bellarine Pennisula but don't mind the travel.

 

[Nicolette]

Hi Jenelle maybe we can organise something? We were doing Albert Park walks but that ended up just being Anthony and I so it stopped. Feel free to send us a PC and any idea you might have - somewhere public, calm and neutral is usually good.

We're just in Bulleen at present... will be Richmond next year when our apartment is finished.

Richmond is great for getting into the city! Altona myself, Richmond a few years ago.

Hi Anthony

I am in Melbourne and care for my husband who is undisgnosed with PTSD, although he does have a lot of other diagnoses, and I believe C-PTSD may be in the mix. I'd love to meet you and Nicolette.

Hi. I also live in Melbourne and have recently had to stop living with my husband who has diagnosed PTSD, anxiety and depression (many inidcators for C-PTSD). He is in denial though he has been in therapy for years and is heavily medicated!

I have had to leave our family home to keep our son and myself safe as soon as we are alone all his focus and anger is now directed at me. I am no longer walking on egg shells and have only just realised how ill he is. I am struggling to maintain my compassion and understanding as he is so unwell and irrational.

My darling sick husband presents to all as stable and calm and he has sound knowledge of the law and mental health system which he is using to his advantage. Recent therapy sessions focus on our relationship issues not him and his diagnosed illness. I can honestly say I couldn't have done anymore to support him but I do so worry about him so.

Confused.

Hi all, I have just joined this forum and love the idea of talking to others who know what it's like to live with chronic PTSD, I have no-one in my circle, or family who I can be open with about any of it, apart from my therapists! And it would kind of be relieving in a way and nice to talk to other human beings who actually live with it and understand (maybe I won't feel like the crazy one!! ;). Oh also I'm a HSP so its all intensified!!

Working through it all, and have many days of aha moments and clarity, and others where there is nothing colorful anywhere. I guess we get to experience life on levels those without a forced depth get to experience!?

Btw I'm in the Carnegie area. Happy to have coffee somewhere sometime if this is still happening. Cheers

Hey Kto, I'm in Oakleigh, just a couple of suburbs away from you. If you're interested in coffee, I'd be happy to meet up. Same goes for anyone else who lives in Melbourne and wants some company. I'm feeling pretty alone myself.

Hi shoulderblades

Very close by! I'd love to meet up and have a coffee soon. What are the best days for you?? I'm not sure how you would feel about Chadstone, but near the movies there's a nice cafe, or atherton rd somewhere, whatever suits really!

 

[Nicolette]

Kto and Shoulderblades - I would recommend starting a PC to work out the finer details of catching up unless you want it public knowledge ;)

 

[tacit]

Hi all.

I'm new here & trying to work out if people are still catching up & if so if & how I can join in too. I'm on the Bellarine Peninsula but happy to drive to Melbourne. Or I'm happy to start a catch up. Would love to catch up with some people I can feel normal around. Gets pretty lonely sometimes.

Thanks :)
