I have used lifeline before, but found they listen more then they guide or help me. The coping thread sounds good. I would appreciate that, thank you.
The psych tried just before Christmas for me to open up, mainly about what I posted beach etc.I can't do that, I'm not ready and I don't want to think about how I'm going to be feeling about me after it's brought into the open, when I think about those things here which my mind usually does it makes well......

@Tigga321sure ill tag you into it.
have you thought about maybe writing a letter about it? then they can read it and go from there rather than you actually saying it?

I seen a physiatrist about 8 weeks ago and he kept asking all these different questions then I blurting part of it out to him, he then sent this to psych. with instructions that only if I wanted to talk about, only if I bring it up, my psych is now pushing me. I don't know if she will accept it written out, which in itself will be for me long , hurtful, sad, just as hard to talk about it, triggers will be throwing their darts at me big time, I won't cope either way I don't think.

Hello @Tigga321
I just read your thread. I hope the forums are helpful. It is amazing you have survived. Writing has helped me. I hope your mental health team can work well together to give you the support and therapy you deserve. While your children are alive there is a lot of hope for family healing.

Thank you, but I'm not sure about surviving, my minds tied, my body has been violated, my soul destroyed and my children are reluctant to see me.
sorry if I sound damaged, I am...but don't worry I'm safe.

@Tigga321 I have said similar things about myself. We are both still here though. I am glad that you care enough to reassure us that you are safe. I hope being on the forum gives you nurturing and strength.

Im here yeah, but living no. I am a body filled with nothing but a mind that full of hurt, pain, anguish,etc. everything that is not supposed to be in a human.
The daily struggle of living with triggers everywhere every room, constantly crying and feeling totally encased in a brick wall is not living it's surviving as best I can.

im sorry to say no..I eat only when I can. Then it's only what I have here, maybe toast, or biscuits, or eggs.
i have a hard time going outside my front door, so shopping is scarce,
I have Major anxiety/depression/PTDS. The anxiety is so bad I can't go out, when I manage to get to the shops either just after opening or closing, no one around, I'm in and out in 5 minutes,
