Hey Weemie Is there an added benefit to converting it to DXM citrate?

Awww! Flossy is what my beloved Nanna used to call me. I am so glad it helped. Please try it at least two times. I promise it is cleansing. I am a big believer in rituals being part of how humans move from one stage to the next. Not in a witchy poo way but in a basic early human way. If you...

My Narcissist mother died 5-6 years ago. I had been No Contact for ten years. I did not go to the funeral. I went the next day to stand beside her dirt grave to make sure it was true. Over the past twenty years I have done many ritual things to get her out of my head. I dont have anything she...

Alex13 My words have come across to Anthony and a Moderator as inappropriate. When writing it up I followed the style you had written your post in. Point form, to the point. I thought that would match your thought processing with how you are feeling at the moment. I was presenting every step I...

I must have written it badly. I meant it as an opinion. Not meant as the only or right way to do it, just as the way that worked for me. No anger at all now. That was describing what I did eight years ago to get rid of the stomach issues and then dealing with my Narcissistic mother on the phone...

Trust yourself. An asshole is an asshole, whether they are a doctor or a street sweeper. If someone makes you feel bad with their methods, you are entitled to tell them. "Based on our interactions, we are not a good fit. I will be changing providers". Something like that. Do not apologise. Do...

I am going to keep it simple. With these steps. You will work out the details. 1. Change all therapy to EMDR only. Find a Dr Ramani video on it. 2. Study Youtube videos of the effect of Narcissistic parents on males. I recommend Dr Ramani. 3. Consider trialling a change to an SNRI if on an...

You can learn and grow just as much if not more from Youtube with the right speaker than with a therapist. Use what. you learn with each session and grow your own life practises book. Its not unusual to have nobody to help. I am 71 and have had to help myself. It takes to much energy to explain...

There is hope. Keep trying different ones. Keep a written record of how you feel and your reactions, even if it means writing on the wall with chalk. Then take that record to your doctor and analyse it for yourself as well. When it is in writing in front of yourself like a nursing chart you can...

Thank you. I will ponder on your knowledge and bring it up with the doc. :) Wow that is scary. Thank you.

I am prescribed a small amount of Tramadol for Fibromyalgia flare-ups. My GP prescribes me 30 pills and that always last 90 days. I only take it when the pain is too much to cope with or to get up my stairs without stopping. Sometimes the Fibro pain is in my legs and sometimes wrists. Sometimes...

Common commonsense....and orgasms.

Yees..."Stepbrothers"..."I rubbed by ballsack on his drum kit".

A panda bear. Because it has arms and can reach out with them and touch and hold a hand or finger and they are fluffy compared to a penguin. Floating in a freshwater pool in a forest or a Rockpool in an ocean? Why!

Goyte "Somebody That I Used to Know"...but it's in my head. To me, he is an ethereal creature.

I agree totally with @Friday. Maybe consider the opposite of the bathtub. I have always loved the see the way Japanese people bathe. A little wooden stool. A bucket of warm water and a scoop. Or a shower hose. Lot of utensils for foaming and scrubbing. Lots of time spent scrubbing each bit from...

Satay chicken with peanut sauce and the crispiest most colourful vegetables with it and fluffy rice, sitting outdoors in a restaurant in Bangkok on my own. Sipping a glass of sparkling wine. I am 70 and had just had a breast lift and new implants. I felt like such a grownup.

An Italian style coffee. One shot of coffee with a small shot of steamed milk, served in a tiny cup or glass. Just now at 11PM I am munching on four crackers. I have trouble getting to sleep and usually want carbs. I figure the crackers are better for me than bread or potato chips.

One leftover curry puff. Earlier I had leftover take-away satay chicken. Even earlier I had apple pie I made myself with vanilla pastry and apples with nutmeg, cinnamon and a buttery crumble on top. I was going to add sour cream on top but forgot. I had peanut M&M's and a Piccolo for breakfast...

You will know for sure, once you meet her. I am sure your gut is knows what's going on. It's just our slightly broken ptsd brains. I just read my old posts from ten years ago and I am amazed at how much better I am and my life is. Best wishes.

For me, "something about the response felt defensive and weird to me"..= Nope! Not a good fit. Walk away. Trust your gut. You dont need a person in your life who gives you this warning instinct.

I stopped the DXM because I had some over the top stressors at the time and I did not want to cloud my perception of any benefits or negatives. Sorry I should have updated on here. I do intend to go back and trial it properly when things have settled with the "Dreaded Dragon Mother in Law Drama."

Is it a forum that is set up like this or is it a FB Page.? I ask this because for me FB pages are too difficult to micro-dose. A forum like this is better, because the main focus can be on reading and educating yourself through the parts of the forum that are foundation learning about...

Yes, she did. And yet no acknowledgement of actual betrayals. EG: my father left for Borneo to serve in the army weeks after their marriage. He had a relationship and a child with a native woman in the 1940's. Somehow my mother knew of this, but it was never discussed or acknowledged. Also...

No. There is no understanding on what process causes the pain of Fibromyalgia. All they know is that it is somehow related to stress and trauma. There is one theory that it is related to a depletion of Dopamine but that is unproven as yet. One thing I do know is that the pain goes away for...
