Talking2minds

OK so we are now almost into the last week before we go to Talking2minds. We travel there next Thursday.

Hotel was booked and confirmed before Christmas, rail tickets booked yesterday, have to collect them from local station today.

I had an email from them the Friday before, and all info will be sent to me in the next day or so.

All I have to do now is keep hubby from crashing too much before we go. He is thinking about it all, into the unknown and all that, but is looking forward to going.

I will keep you up dated and pass on any info that could help others as I get it.

Well its time now, tomorrow mid morning we set off. Had another E-Mail today from them, and all the info was sent through a few days ago. They do keep in touch very well.

Hubby is in a bit of a mess tonight, but by morning he will be OK, or frog marched the railway station. He does want to go, but the fear of the unknown, and the anxiety of the "What if's" are kicking in.

I will be online in between, as I am taking my laptop with me. Cant spend all my own free time shopping, now can I. ;)

Looking forward to hearing more.....

I called and Sharon seemed to think that they can help hubby - asked for my email too.

I did wonder as I didnt say much about why my hubby has PTSD and although she seemed very nice and helpful I got the feeling that perhaps she needed to be elsewhere and the call was a bit rushed...???

Maybe just timing...???

I did search on Facebook and there is a group that seems to be against this charity


Not sure if I am allowed to post the link...?? http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=363068041484 - I dont want to do anything untoward! So if no maybe just search for Talking2Minds on Facebook. I am open we are willing to try anything to at least manage the PTSD symptoms....

With love Sunshine

Sharon was busy today Sunshine, lots going on. Hubby called them as he needed a chat because of what his mother did to him yesterday.

They called him back and have put him on the right path again, with the reassurance that he did right to call and do it again when ever he needs to.

Give them a try if you feel it will help, the e-mail is for them to have more info of the PTSD background that's all.

Oh and dont worry about the other Googled article, from my understanding, it was some one out to cause trouble for what ever reason.

But do go with your own instincts, no one else's. I can only share how they have helped us.

Hubby asked me last night to get back in touch with them, he wants top go back for more therapy. :tup:

He is struggling right now, and there is no other help on offer for him at all.

I received an e-mail back from them and hubby can go back. Just have to wait for a date now as they did say we could go next Friday, but that is too short notice. I need to get some money together first.

 

[amethist]

Woo Hoo mid May and we are there.

Hotel will be booked next week, so no backing out.

 

[BigBear]

Yeah!

We travel this Thursday and hubby is now feeling the pressure.

I have just stuck him in the bath to relax and pick himself up from an anxiety ridden day.

He will be fine once we set off, but until then I am just going to let him do what he has to do for himself.

I am getting good at doing that now. :tup:

 

[BigBear]

Yeah! It seems like forever since you said that you get to go back...
