I have cptsd too, welcome

I have recently started emdr and have noticed results. I think it is working, although i go through a time period of some distress, like things intensify for a while afterward. So far i have noticed a difference.

Hi Thizette, this is such a nice post, I was wondering how long it took you to feel better, i remember when i was able to handle things better and I remember what that felt like. If you dont mind me asking, what were some of the things you did to get better and how long it took, to get back to a...

1. didnt do what i was supposed to today, even though i dont know what that is 2. started an online relationship with someone who i dont know and i dont know what i did by accident, so i dont know what the consequences are. 3. i may be dilusional 4. im having a tough time understanding 5. i...

I have been having this same problem, not seeing a future, and i think just aknowledging it helps. That maybe we can move on from this place. So how do you do that when things seem a bit black and white and a bit dark. Do you just show up anyways, do the things you think you can do and hope for...

Thanks for this thread!

glad im not alone.

i just gotta say, i support you in your recovery. i too was retraumatized this past spring and it was hell. anxiety through the roof. I actually ended up in inpatient. i too had a very healthy life and spiritual groundedness. im sorry your going through this. I wish you well. I completely shut...

Bloomy, I hear you. I went through a good 3 years of feeling like people ought to be more sensitive to all situations and people they run in to. Its like a lack of respect to have people just plow through and not be actively kind, patient, and boundary sensitive. It sucks. I was of a similar...

A recent traumazitation left me unable to connect to people again and its not fun. Im hoping therapy helps as well. i think baby steps is right, and im trying to remember to focus on my own thoughts and feelings however minimal instead of trying to relate to others all the time. I think its like...

I had the same thing and also with some memories, but excrutiating. I had to take zoloft and klonopin. it has only been until recently that I have been able to work on the somatic stuff. just starting to do that again. Its overwhelming starting over again.
