I've used EFT which is similar and it stopped flashbacks.

I meant phobias attached with ptsd. Khione seems to be having the same kind of issue.

It worked for me and my phobias and it's what professionals tell me.

Challenge the fear. When you feel yourself starting to panic, embrace it, and try to panic as much as you can. Try to get all of the panic out of your system and get yourself as wound up as possible. Give yourself a time limit to sit quietly and get all of the panic out. Don't fear the panic...

I used to get them, but it wasn't for no reason. It would be a dreadful fear of the future feeling. That went away with time though and I now only get panic attacks if I have a really bad trigger, which has only happened once.

I've heard of that. Isn't that about somatic experiencing? I've heard good things about SE. Thank you everyone for replying. I agree JarHed, time is probably what has helped me the most.

Thanks. No, I did not do any murdering. I only witnessed it. It was a one-time event trauma and it didn't happen in childhood so does that mean I have a good chance?

What about a one-time trauma of a torturous murder from a stranger done to a stranger? Do you think I can completely recover from that?

Thank you November, it's good to hear somebody understands. This post in your post in my other thread were both helpful and gave me hope. Thank you to the others as well for replying.

I know people here love to say that there's no cure, but is it really true? I've heard of a lady overcoming PTSD with hypnosis and several people being cured with a stellate-ganglion block injection and I also read that marijuana may be able to cure it. Is there any hope with these treatments or...

Thank you for replying Em C. It was a mood swing that lasted for hours and I'm finally starting to calm down. I hope your research goes well. Okay, I will message you. I recently got off Celexa after 3 months of it doing nothing. I will be getting on a new medication in about 2 and a half...

I'm a college student and doing homework just makes me feel hopeless. Doing anything is too stressful. How am I going to keep a job if taking one college class is too stressful for me? Sitting in my bed all day is hellish enough, but to actually do something just causes extreme stress and anger...

Good news. I feel better and back to normal PTSD. I think it was a setback, phobia, and trigger all at the same time.

I'm glad you understand that, because that is what I'm struggling with as well. It's the feel of it. I'll explain what I mean by "feel of it." In the beginning when I first got PTSD, I had this terrible panic that would not go away. I could not be alone, I was desperate to express my feelings...

Are you sure? It's been bothering me less lately but still causing a small general panic/helpless feeling but it's weird because I react to the images of what happened to him as if it actually happened to me. It may be all in my head though. I once read that hearing extremely shocking...
