They most definitely are, sometimes easier and more successfully than at others. You cannot really fail, can just he more successful. Important thing is to set yourself up with the tools and techniques to do so. Awareness and understanding with hard work and determination the only way. You...

Confusing 😆

Hello, A sufferer not supporter so dont know what's its all like. I have done EMDR though, recent EMDR took about 16 weeks. Probably another month after that for things to settle. I was not in the best environment for it so it took a bit longer. If he started in April, he will be in quite a...

I think I could have written what you just wrote. I am struggling to get people to deal with some real world problems but as I have ptsd they are put down to that. Does not help with trust and social interactions. I have had many of the issues recently that you described and trying to explain...

Please don't t think you will never find someone, or that they will never find you. Many here have had the same thoughts. Each year I look back and see my life is very different from what I expected the year before. Sometimes good, sometimes very bad. I have had a very bad couple of years...

Hi Sophie, welcome. I have done EMDR, I found it to be positive in the end, but it is very difficult. Sometimes I would just get over the previous session in time for the next one. I did ask for breaks and calmer sessions at times. Ask to just talk or take it easier if you are finding it hard...

That's good. It's sounds like you are taking a lot of blame onto yourself though, not sure you should do. Families are difficult, people are different, maybe some need space or there is a different way to interact. Pictures, videos and video chat may be able to keep you in contact? Keep the...

I have just seen this, from reading sounds like your mum and others had a lot of issues being severely impacted from the affair. Your mum sent you off, is it possible she did because she knew she couldn't care for you. She dropped into a deep despair from it all that she knew she was going to...

If you are crying and grieving I would say you are not stuck. Having a hard time accepting and being able to understand something maybe. Cry, grieve, howl at the moon for what's been done. Accepting can come later if you need to, understanding may never happen, will never happen for many as...

Yes! Almost the same this weekend for me! 😅 If people know, they know, dont think that's you or that you should feel guilty.

Try something new that you have never done before. Break the cycle by doing or going somewhere unfamiliar.

Have you tried CBD products if you can get them? Shockingly effective for me and some others I know with chronic pain.

Trust in yourself, it's your mind and body, you know better than anyone else. It's your care and treatment, so your choice. EMDR is hard, probably best to be away from parents before going into that fully. Myself, every therapist I have had, I share my concerns and agree with them beforehand...

Welcome Mine is different but never done anything like this either. Keep at it, it does help.

Did you find out? I would ask, having had problems of my own i get uncomfortable when someone else is using my phone. Not because I have done anything or would. Probably even worry that someone might see I'm on here and not understand or take it the wrong way. Especially in a new relationship...

I get you. I lack the words myself. You aren't actually broken but something else is, I would say no one here is truly broken. The broken ones are those who do bad things and dont care or are happy. With the right help and people around you, deal with it one step at a time. Ask questions...

Similar age and experiences. How are you getting on with therapy ending?

I borrow my mums dog when having a hard time. He's a frenchie cross, likes to sleep and cuddle so perfect for bad times. Definitely more about temperament, what are you looking for?

I have done EMDR, it was very effective for me when dealing with childhood issues. Adult ones not so much. It is very very destabilising, like others have said the several days afterwards can be quite difficult. Caused a few age regression issues with some particularly bad stuff. Helped me to...

Condolences for your loss, that alone must be hard to deal with. it does sound like you are on the right track for improving. Sometimes mind over body helps, keep finding the positives and stay strong.

I support that. It's what I have been trying to do, said better than me!

You sound like a friend of mine and seem like you are doing the right things. Sleep is important, if you have a bad night or nights, it happens. Keep trying.

Welcome Pandemo, Someone might describe me in a similar way, correct on some things utterly wrong on many others. Myself I've been isolated and treated badly for a long time, it affects your confidence and self image. Try to do more, physically, mentally, talk to women, be honest with...

You are not broken. Lots of men out there, they arent the right ones for you. If it's not fun, not enjoyable and not something you want, it should stop. Your wishes are not being respected, that's not you, it's them. Odd to say but there is more to good sex, than just sex. Respect yourself...

Don't know if you got your answer or are gone. Its not your fault, you didn't do anything. I find i tolerate more from others, mostly because my threshold is different, some take that as an excuse for bad behaviour or to take advantage. Maybe the same or similar for you, it's them that are...
