this makes me angry - what right does he say when you are to be healed? has he any idea about PTSD ? or has he just read about it in his books grrrr

there is no time frame for healing - you are "over" it grrr or past it when you are and no person who is not on the inside of it can tell you when or if you should be in that place

I guess this affects me because people have said it should be over for me - move on - mostly I have - but ten years down the track from one event and many many more years from the others - I can still get triggered and react - this we learn to deal with

I am quite literally boiling inside because I have seen people who have been told this and who have tried to just shut things down and it hasn't worked - I wont go further into that because it may trigger some

you heal when you heal - there is no time limit - no licence that says after 5, 10, 15 years you will be "fixed" if it happens it happens if it takes time it takes time

my T once said if only you could do a few things you would be so much better - I took that as - why are you so stupid? failure! - but it wasn't the right time for me to be able to do those things - I wasn't there yet

it is ok to be exactly where you are on your road to healing and to take the time you need -

I wish you well on your journey

P7 (sorry if I got on my soapbox but this made me mad grrr )
