Sufferer Hello

[Larry123]

I'm Larry I've got complex PTSD and symptoms of dissociative disorder.. I'm trying to sort my head out without medication it was prolonging my symptoms.. I've got amnesia and seem to be taking 3 steps forward 2 steps back.. I think the flashbacks are over so it's just about learning again and trying to remember it...

Hei Larry and welcome on board.

Im not good in math but three steps forward and two back isnt that one step at the time?

Flashback can come back but I belive with time we learn to handle it better.

Take well care.

Thanks what I mean by that is i make progress then lose the majority of it and have to learn again.. Keeps happening but I end up a little further

O know what you ment. Also from personal experience. Was just trying to make a math out of it and figured out that if it means one step its still better then no steps. Ill use this equation for myself - thanks.

 

[Larry123]

That's right... So it is positive

 

[Bloomy]

Dont really like the word positive but if you do its all fine :)
Constructive and realistic is the words for me as Im not good at positivity :bag:

 

[Larry123]

No problem... To me it's just a word.. if I'm being honest it's something to cling onto and gives me a bit of hope
