My psy listened to my point of view
He took on board. Went through all my symptoms that I've been showing and stated that I do in fact warrant an assessment for possible diagnosis.
He admitted that he hadn't been fully present with me.
They said that they...
What is normal? That's what my T asks me everytime I say I just want to be normal.
and I guess in a way he's right. What is normal?
Normal for me is being able to go to the shop, enjoy an activity, watch TV, sleep!
Not be emotionally illiterate.
Not be scared of absolutely everything and...
Yeah he actually told me that was a re-experiencing symptom. As I had no idea! All I knew was I felt like it was in danger and had a massive panic attack I felt shit scared it took 5 days to recover from that.

Its been 4 years for me and the symtpoms have remained constant. I was off work for 3 years (yes you read that right) because my stalker/harassed/ abuser was my work collegue 🤕 I didn't even attempt to return until he was no longer employed

If its due to the shame that...
Working backwards might be a good idea! This will give you ground to work from, getting used to talking to someone and also it will allow time to build a better relationship.
Talking is HARD! there is no doubt about that. I myself struggle as well, I am new to my therapy journey, and I have no...
I have been seeing my psy for around 3 months.
I was referred to there by my employer, after having a massive emotional flashback
(I didn't know what this was at that point)
I was sent there due to the 'Reaction' I had to an 'event'
Anyway, my first appointment with my clin psy, they knew...
What you're describing is completely normal, and I'd say you'd struggle to find someone in here who doesn't feel that way. We are all in different boat's but we are trying to navigate sail through the same storm.
