I tried getting their scoring/report but they refused on ethical grounds. I may (possibly - *fingers crossed*) have found someone to do it. I talk with them mid-next week.
Hi, not sure if I've posted to the right forum ...
I had a Trauma Symptom Inventory-2 done last year and the psychologist returned the questionnaire to me. I'm wanting to get a score report from this, and was wondering if anyone knows where I could get this done? It's for legal purposes only...
Otago University (New Zealand) is currently running trials using slow release titrated doses of oral Ketamine for treatment resistant depression. Its been very successful, open to referral on compassionate grounds (for people who don't fit the trial criteria) and they're moving into phase 2 now...
Dental bacteria is really toxic and can have a huge impact on health. You have pain and inflammation and these things don't just sit there for no reason, they're usually a sign of infection or damage and they also activate the immune system.
I suffered from periodontitis and was diagnosed as...
For me it is definitely dissociation, I fall down stairs, off steps, trip on kerbs, bump into things, burn/cut myself etc. I get so bad sometimes I don't go out because I'm a liability.
Recently in restorative yoga we've been working on Interoception a close relative of proprioception.
Reads like rape to me. Bastard.
My ex used to get agro if I wouldn't take my clothes off, keeping my clothes on was about me not feeling safe, it was what I used to do to feel less vulnerable in a volatile situation.
I'm pharmaceutically/chemically sensitive and had a horrid reaction to Sertraline (both physical and mental) and then nose dived into sticky black tar depression so my Psychiatrist put me on Moclobemide (a RIMA) which was blessed relief and then a mixed bag but slowly I've been adjusting to it...
@Athos I hope you're still wondering the halls of myptsd, I just had to say Hi and welcome to a kindred soul. Your story and way of being seems so much like me, honestly I could have written so much of what you did and yep I would have rewritten and taken at least 5 hours to get there too lol...
My dx is PTSD with severe/chronic dissociation, happens all the time but where once it used to be terrifying I'm kinda starting to get the hang of it and really trying to catch myself in those turning moments to see if I can stop it. Getting overwhelmed is a big trigger, I'm almost totally...
Oh wow - so glad it isn't just me. I get to a point where I'm to the brim and can't take any more in. Perceived movements within (usually) my peripheral vision gets exaggerated, tactile sensations become too much. Noises and light almost hurt, I need silence, low light, pull the curtains...
@willhealeventually thank you!
Anthony has a thread called Primary cognitive distortions (negative thinking styles) which is good. Trying to intercept / reinterpret / take control of the distorted cognitions - and manage the neuro/physiological elements of PTSD as well. It is so hard...
I have been having the odd puff of mj on the side and I could never quite have "just enough" to not get high ... which would set off anxiety etc but nothing like the CBD. So for sleep after that I'd take .5mg Lorazapam to counter-act. However, with the CBD, it has been 24 hours and I'm still...
@willhealeventually thank you. I joined earlier this year and have done a bit of reading here to see what/how others are dealing with stuff which is really helpful, I spent most of my 53 years feeling crazy/freakish because of things that happened to me and my ways of coping in the world. I...
