Your right about the working girls being kind hearted mate 💯 I remember walking through town one day, a group of users were openly trying to rob another user (this guy was always getting robbed or conned, guess it was his payday or something, bless him) they were ragging him about and one of the girls ran over and starting screaming at them to leave him alone and pulling them off him. Needless to say the lad never got robbed. The girl looked after him, always saw them together in the weeks afterwards. I think she gave him confidence as I never saw him beaten up or being bullied after that.

Its amazing where addiction can take us. It is a hard life for prostitutes too. Ive never judged them or anything like that, you cannot know a persons heart by what they do to get by. I remember once getting talking to a prostitute in a jobcentre and she was showing me all the scars on her arms from shooting up Smack but her personality was humble and lovely. It sticks in my mind cos she stood out for her kindness and honesty.

Hey Paddy have you ever heard of EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing I've heard it's a great treatment for processing traumatic memories. You should research it at the very least and read up on it. I know NHS offer it and the waiting list is around 8months. It might be a good idea to refer yourself for an assessment and tell them you're haunted by flashbacks, can't move forward with your life and when you relive these memories you feel you're back there and become emotional. Hopefully they will be able to help 👍 You can also do questionnaire PCL-5 for PTSD to see what your scores are if you're interested.

KZbin won't allow me to post the link or the number so you'll have to Google. You don't need the GP involved - NHS Doncaster Talking Therapies. It's a self referral so you just phone them between 9am - 5pm and book an assessment in. It's a good service but like I say there's fairly long waiting times as there is for everything these days. Just make sure you emphasize with the flashbacks that you have them regularly, you feel like you're there, you zone out, you feel emotionally impacted. Then if you meet the criteria for PTSD they will offer you either trauma based CBT or EMDR. I would suggest EMDR as I've heard it can really help you process the events and it's meant to be super effective.

@@seanbarker9272for anyone in a similar position, look up cptsd. Living that lifestyle for a time will expose you to lots of ongoing trauma obviously. The anxiety and depression could be a part of that. EMDR, or something that goes deep into your issues is recommended, not just the 6 sessions of CBT they can try to fob you off with.
