Thank you both. I do think the gaps are getting bigger meaning when it hits it hurts more?! And I also feel deeply, and I know what you mean there, if I didn’t feel so deeply it might be easier BUT feeling deeply is a good thing. I reckon us survivors come out the other side with more empathy. It WILL pass, it just hurts now 🙁

My replies went to the wrong people/in the wrong place – no idea why/how, I will get the hang of this

Thank you, I do have the right therapist. I was disturbed by the recurring dreams but I feel much better than I did when I posted this. I’m prepped and ready to discuss it all at my session later this week.

Thank you, really appreciate it

I’m a big list writer, it’s disheartening when I keep shifting them though. I’m also big on trying new crafting hobbies to distract and quieten me. I’m trying on the being clear with people but it’s not my default and not very British either! Accepting it being a process is hard…and the woefully short NHS treatment made only a tiny dent. Again thank you x

I have just ordered the book The Railwayman – thank you. Also for all your other advice. I am very over ‘friends’ who don’t get it/can’t be bothered to understand. They may want my company when I am back on form, sadly (for them) I won’t want theirs. x

Interestingly (or not) I was doing mindfulness before I needed it. I’m a right hippy! Not tried the elastic band thing but I do get irritated in a Princess and the Pea kind of way so I’m not sure it will help – willing to give it a go though. My (private) counsellor is a specialist in DV so that helps and also recently hooked up with a male friend for regular chats who also has PTSD – different reasons, but I think it will help. “Sadly we are in a club that no one wants to be in” – I hear you! Thanks again x

Thank you, you are much further on in your healing process than me and have given me some really helpful and useful tips – MUCH appreciated x
