Body Memories, Aka Random, Severe Pain + Depression

[Powder]

Don't know about the body memories and flashbacks. Also, for several days, I can't remember how to cook/what I know to cook. No memory of what I can do. I look at the dishes in the sink and feel like I'm 12 and don't know how to wash them right. ;/

I have times like that. Is it just with cooking or is it anything that requires thinking?

I don't have any advice, but I just wanted you to know you aren't alone. For me the body memories and pain are bad enough but it's the regression and losing things I know how to do that is hardest when I'm in that place. Pain and depression is one thing- it's unpleasant but I can manage. Losing functionality in that way is really scary for me.

:hug:s if you accept them. I hope it gets better for you soon. Maybe you can try some simple things you won't get lost in just to build confidence.

I've forgotten how to cook too! I had no idea that this was caused by PTSD.

As to handling pain, I ask God to take away my pain when I have pain and He does.

My skin has been crawling and hurting and very sensitive lately. I've also suddenly increased my I sonny a thousandfold..but I was thinking maybe the painful skin thing could be a body memory? I dunno..

I think it could be, yes. Are you in therapy? If not, you should be.

The pain passed overnight, but the way I feel emotionally is the same. It is terrible. I can't think well, can't look people in the eye. I can't think too much on eating, or food, can't figure out why.
