    I can't cope anymore

    No, sorry, i hope i didn't cause any offence. I mean i feel a bit of an idiot. You're right about those little moments. I had a marketing call from altzheimers (spellng?) society uk today because i have done stuff to raise money for them in the past, but their number came up on my screen as...

    I can't cope anymore

    That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I feel silly for being nieve. I started this journey thinking "it can't get any worse" and then as I'm becoming more aware of things I realise just how much deeper it goes

    I can't cope anymore

    I don't know if this is even the correct area to post in, but general seemed right and frankly i'm ranting. Since i started therapy everything is worse. Before was bad, that's why i got help, but during is so much worse. Trapped wanting to fix it, but not wanting to face it. I go to sleep...

    Memories aren't in order, is this normal?

    I've just read the cup page, thank you. It deffinately makes sense to make space and not let things over flow. My T has been quite good a picking up when things are getting too much or i'm zoning out. I had to read what i'd written out loud today and They caught me fairly quickly, they...

    Memories aren't in order, is this normal?

    Thank you, i really appreciate that. It's nice knowing other people get what i'm saying. I find that i can move around the edges of it, or speak bvery breifly about it, but the moment we get close, or it's mentioned we are going to try and get close to it,everything kicks off. Anxiety levels go...

    Memories aren't in order, is this normal?

    I think that sometimes i'm so driven and determined to get my life back. I've always been stubborn, a try hard and one of those people who if you tell them they can't do something, they absolutley will. I'll run myself into the ground to prove doubt wrong. Being that sort of person with this...

    Memories aren't in order, is this normal?

    So i've been asked in between sessions to write my trauma down as i'm struggling to talk about it in session without shutting down. I was asked to go in to as much detail as i could and try and build the story (don't know what else to call it). The thing is, it's like it's broken, so instead of...

    Night time muscle spasms?

    Odd one but maybe someone else gets it too. I often find i wake up in the night, sometimes several times a night fully tense, every muscle is tight, even my jaw, so much so I've cracked a tooth! Anyone else?

    Twitching and struggling to get words out when approaching trauma, anyone else?

    Is this something you are able to get out of yourself, or do you need another person to talk you back? Do you have any tips? I'm struggling with grounding @Charbella Thank you. I am really struggling with the grounding side of all of this, any tips? I try not to let it all take over, but it...

    Twitching and struggling to get words out when approaching trauma, anyone else?

Still feeling quite overwhelmed by the diagnosis but relieved to have more information and things starting to make more sense, apologies though for still sounding like a newbie, i don't wish to cause offence if i word things wrong and stuff. My T and i...

    Hi everyone! I'm new here. Long story made as short as i'm comfortable with, apologies for not explaining the cause in full...
