You don't have to feel alone @Former-Member you have helped a lot of us on here, knowing your story was very hard for you to tell us here, and I could relate to some of it being in the reserves and know what goes on, you should be proud of yourself for getting where you are now, being only 19 and having your whole life turned upside down, and going in there letting them know how this has and still is affecting you, there are a lot of females Who are to scared to take things further but when they hear someone is taking it to court you could actually be giving some hope to others that may come out and do the same thing. I hope your psychologist gets back to you, especially when you're not coping right now.
We are all here for you no matter what you're going through, you can feel safe on here and we care about what happens to you, and if your not up to posting anything you can just read posts as sometimes that helps.
I hope you can have a peaceful night and am sending warm wishes your way.

@Former-Member
"Talking" on the threads can get a bit convoluted sometimes. People respond to different parts of a post. it might not be in real time. It can be easy for misunderstandings, or a feeling of being overlooked to happen.
When sharing deeply it can feel like you have put yourself on the line. DO what is best for you.

And sorry for those I haven't tagged
Hey guys, I hope you're all okay, I know some of you are struggling, sending my love through the forum.
Anyway, it's my birthday today and Mr Angels is taking me out to sculptures by the sea at Bondi. I'm really looking forward to going. We went two years ago and it was the day before a hospital admission but it was a lovely day and it really took my mind off going into hospital. Then last year we went to go and I sprained my ankle walking to the train station so we never got there.
Here's hoping today goes off without a hitch. I need to be be home by 6 as I am helping lead youth group tonight at 7.
SH was a nuisance this morning! Yes on my birthday 😭 but I will be distracted for the rest of the day. I do have some anxiety going into a crowd and think I should have taken some prn, I have to ask Mr Angels to give it to me as it's locked away and I don't want to ask. Anyway I am sure I'll be fine as long as Mr Angels is staying close.
The weather is going to be hot at 36deg. So we're bringing sunscreen and water.
I hope you all have a good day and if you're struggling try the sane online chat, I've always found it helpful
Love Angels333

Hi @Former-Member spotted you there under the support button. Hope today is a good one for you. Mine's pretty tricky so far. A combination of a few challenging things going on. Trying to stay positive.

Hey there @Former-Member, I am sorry to hear what your Doctor said about forgiveness healing PTSD - this is very painful, and sounds like it comes from a place with little empathy or deep understanding. Do you feel comfortable letting them know how this made you feel? Many people would feel very unheard by such a comment, we hear you here, and we hear your journey and pain around helping people too. It's okay sometimes to step out, to acknowledge when certain helping roles are not right for us. You are a very resilient person, you are intelligent and strong and like many of us here have come to this place without much familial support. I am going to send you an email to check in with you in addition to this, speak soon.
