Last night I wasn't abe to sleep at all ...for around 2 weeks I have been receiving very abusive, degrading, downright abhorrent txts from 2 women I used to consider 2 of my closest friends..I haven't responded and I've tried blocking them but it hasn't worked..last night I received the most graphic, deliberately triggering txts yet. Best friends make the worst enemies. I am struggling with it...their words continue to go round and around in my head...I'm finding it hard not to question myself. Some days I get 20 txts at a time.

If you have anyone close to you, you can ask them to delete them for you if you don't want to look. </P> <P>It sounds like you're trying not to be confrontational so for now, it may be easier for you to just change your number at least temporarily.</P> <P><STRONG>You sound like a very intelligent person and nobody deserves this kind of treatment.</STRONG> You also mentioned PTSD in your thread title. Are you currently seeing any doctors who you could mention these incidents to? I'd also highly recommend giving the BeyondBlue 24/7 support line a call on 1300 22 4636. They can be very helpful if you want to talk to someone just to let go of your thoughts, or even for some guidance.</P> <P>I hope to hear from you again cat. We'd love to keep supporting you as long as you need.</P> <P>James</P> Sat, 20 Aug 2016 09:28:36 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/ptsd-and-trauma/bullying-has-triggered-my-ptsd/m-p/274444#M7594 james1 2016-08-20T09:28:36Z
