Should I even bother, with anything?

I don't even know where to start with this today, talk about having your heart ripped out. After 6 years long fight to have a family which i've wanted since I was 16 - I'm now almost 44, we've just been told our hospital lied to us. How this affects my counselling is that the counselling is for assault - i've blamed myself all these years but now don't see any point in going back, or anything else for that matter, I'm devastated. Would you go back, I'm really upset, just keep thinking why us?

    You fail to explain  what the situation is. If you are having CBT for an Assault and its implications on your life can you explain what is causing your PTSD

      Hi border river the problem is the lies i've been fed and made to accept as truth for over 3 years. I am having PTSD specialist counselling for assault and rape, this is all so painful and I can't say any more!

      Just a quick update, after seeing my counsellor my IBS flared dreadfully since last night, agony but she did push for details! How do I explain it to her?

      Sorry, life is so very nasty sometimes

      Look on what has happened as a story, when we were at school we needed to make a plan of our story, do the same here. This will help you remember what happened in chapters, this will help your Health Professional  to address your problem in a more complete way so you can explain your fears needs and Anxiety

      Good Luck
