i need to understand whats Happening to me

Hi all Ive just come through the last year to set up a very nice environment for kids, one has just started highschool..its only me because my husband has a oathological need to important. Its a valuable job just not with us which to me is pointless and is having consequences . I suffer already frim PTSD from a past tragedy and nightly nightmares abd a feeling in my stomach I cant sescribe, like life will be iver soon ( not rational) is on I wake up to. I dont understand whats happening. Its ruining my experience as a mum, as a woman and I feel very strangley about our marriage. I also find myself disassociating. I have very little time so I have on in little pieces have sought gelp. The nightmares have got to stop. They taking me out bit by bit. Do I bite the bullet and see a Psychologist. Would it really help or is my marriage. Im devastated hes put me in this position.

hi @Britt72 and welcome

im sorry your going through such a rough time. i think it would be worth speaking with a psychologist for ongoing support. you can access a mental health care plan by seeing your gp. this will allow 10 sessions to be medicare rebated

Re: i need to understand whats Happening to me

Hey @Britt72, thank you for sharing your experiences with the community!

It sounds like you and your children are going through a tough time right now, and you are demonstrating your resilience in reaching out to your peers here on the Forums.

I always encourage Members to reach out for support if they feel like it might be beneficial for them. A psychologist might be able to support you with your mental health, and it could be a good start to contact 1800RESPECT to discuss your relationship with your husband. It's a free service and they specialise in challenges with relationships.

I encourage you to continue to share your experiences and connect with the community here on the Forums!

Take care

Hey @Britt72 ,

Sure sounds like there's a lot going on. If you feel things are not going the way you want them to, and it's been like that for a while, perhaps speaking to a professional is a good start.

As @outlander mentioned, you can get a mental health care plan and get 10 subsidised sessions with a psychologist. You can also speak to a counsellor.

SANE have a Support line you can contact 1800 187 263 (M-F 10am-8pm AEDT)

We look forward to hearing from you.

Professional help is great, you can't do this alone?
