For those personally affected by terrorism

[Eveleivibe]

Hiya,

If you've been affected by terrorism such as those attacks in Paris, the attacks in Northern Ireland, those London bombing in 7/7 etc. It doesn't have to just be you but if any relations, friends, loved ones are hurt if it's affected you.

Please give your experiences here, if you're able to in order to discuss n help one another.

Please see below quote (page if you want this removed PM me).

Hi,

I know there's already a thread about this but I'm looking for anyone here who has also been directly affected by the terrorist attacks.
I don't mean people who are scared it'll happen in the UK now, or whatever. I mean people who were in Paris at the time or know people who were killed, or injured.
My ex-boyfriend is in a coma and everything I try to talk about it here (UK) I'm told 'well your family's okay isn't it? So why are you complaining?'
I genuinely don't know where to get the support. Can anyone here relate? I've never felt so alone

Hope this helps

Evey

I think most of us have been affected by terrorism to a certain degree? It's quite hard for any adult now to say that the events that have unfolded over the years has not had some effect on them or their lives.

My heart goes out to you Pagey, awful situation to be in.

on 7/7 My wife was on the tube in front of the one that blew up near Holborn - she heard it go off. Then she went to tavistock sq for a work thing and a little time after she got in the bus blew up. I knew she was there but took 4 hours to get her on the phone, horrible horrible feeling. In fact every year I have a panic attack and cry when I get in from work and cuddle her.
Sorry for your situation Pagey my heart goes out to you also - try and keep strong and positive.
