I don’t know you....but when I saw the title I immediately got concerned. My silly brain thought you actually had been hit by a car, in a coma, and Rory (assume that’s your SO?) was not sympathetic. Glad it was just a Dream!! ?

Solid advice @feixapreta, do you want to share more about how you’ve dealt with the similar stressors? I could be wrong, but I get a sense there’s more to say...if you want, I’m listening.

Inconsiderate mofo that bought an innocent dog only leave it outside barking scared and abandoned all day. I can’t tolerate people that take advantage of helpless creatures for their own selfish purposes. Makes me think violent things to protect the vulnerable. Sometimes every noise is too...

Yes, often abuse makes us conform to expectations. It’s too difficult to navigate our needs if we are taking away from someone else. Sometimes how the training goes. it’s easier to give in than ask for what we need, especially if there were negative consequences attached. I don’t have advice...

Sorry I don’t have advice, but I unfortunately understand. I try to figure out if my fear/anxiety is from the past or present. My boss is a trigger and I need to always check that I’m in the right headspace when I manage that. It gets exhausting. I’m sorry you have this anxiety/fear

I had an appointment as well and said that I was grateful for the recent opportunities I’ve had with work. Then came the question: “what’s the opposite of grateful”, my brain took me right to “selfish”.

Thanks everyone for your own experience with this. It really does help me to get some perspective. Currently - what @Friday says is my brain dialogue So I punch myself in the head for accessing resources for PTSD, selfish. Others need it more than I do cuz I can go to far flung places and...

I don't quite understand why this is.....but it's happened several times, so I'm wondering if others have similar experiences. When I'm in my regular home environment, it's mostly peaceful, politically/economically stable, people are relatively predictable.....but I get regularly stressed...

I am right there with you @EveHarrington. I truly wish I had advice. Hope that others do. I also completely overcommit and push forward, like you do. For me, it feels like I have to make amends for all my failures. Learn, create, contribute, serve. Then fall flat on my face when I realize...

Thanks both....I can’t do mdma cuz of my profession. But the info is interesting, particularly if my work should change. Just want to improve, but am a bit discouraged at the moment. I’ll get back on track. Always find a way.

I’m just catching up, and really really really glad you kicked your anniversary’s ass!! I understand how tough it can be, and wow....awesome, @Freemartin!!!

Mine doesn’t do emdr.....so guess my options are what they are lol!

Based on nil responses from the community ......Guess it’s not a common treatment which puts me more on edge. We can shut this one down. I think I got my answer. Don’t trust it.

Anyone been this route and have feedback? Good, bad, ugly? Seen articles about memory reintegration and consolidation......? Thanks.

Sorry, not sure why they duplicated ?

I’m inspired by so many peaceful and beautiful photos posted by all. Thank you! I will share my sights I feel like that lone tree often. Just don’t quite fit in with the remarkable beauty, but I’ll stay a while....maybe my leaves will grow again.

Thank you crab, for your sacrifice.

I’m sorry you experience this as well, but I’m thankful that you shared because you truly are not alone. I have the same trouble and am currently doing better than I have for some time. ?So, if it’s helpful to you, here’s how I look at it. Once I started on the journey to heal from trauma, my...

So, buck up chicken....it’s time to walk into a room full of strangers and try this whole connection, support Mumbo jumbo again. Couple days away from doing the dreaded non-isolation piece and trusting others with my thoughts and reactions. It might be easier if it was just me, but I’m doing...

@FauxLiz I’m sorry to hear that the last several months have been a battle for you. I do very much understand. I don’t know if this will help and I don’t want to compare my situation with yours but there are some common things we both seem to struggle with. So, maybe we can help each other...

Peaceful place. Hiked here recently.

Went for a walk, sat by the river with some pretzels and was joined by this Raven. I don’t typically condone feeding wildlife but he sat almost next to me and had a hauntingly familiar shine to his eyes. Maybe we met before and shared pretzels, so he got one ?. Kept me company for my time at...

Problem for me too....I can tell you that you deserve to be happy, that what you give here is worth so much to people like me. It’s hard to accept, cuz I sit in the same space and I’ve been told the same.....but I’m thankful for you. I’ve read some things you share and am grateful for your...

I know what @MrMoonlight felt a few days ago....calmer. With a light breeze of dread, mixed with guilt and a side of gratitude. They told me to stop being numb but this is confusing!

Vile, disgusting Angry, toxic Sad Afraid. I don’t feel often.
