Hey guys! It's been a few months! I finished with my therapist last July, things had been going really well. November my better half was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer, that caused whole whirlwind of crap. We were both terrified, scared of him bein ill, dying, i guess all normal stuff that comes...

So hey! Been a while since i posted, things have been fairly steady, but i kinda need to leap into the fountain of knowledge for some help. I've always been a hectic sleeper, as a child i'd sleep walk, talk and so on, that sort of phased out as i've gotten older, but i have always been a very...

Okay, so, i've had 2 dads, lucky me, right? Dad 1 is my birth father, vanished when i was 6 or so. Mum re married (Paternal g'ma took the place of her son, and in time also my mum as her new partner changed her) Both my mum and her new parther were abusive, their treatment of me was described by...

My grandparents brought me up, i didn't live with them, but they were my safe space, they knew most of what was happening at home, though some stuff i didn't tell them for fear of losing them and not having anyone to go to. I'd told them about getting beaten, food rationed or not given, but i...

You guys have all been so helpful recent;y, thank you! But i'm here again to pick your brains and look for advice. So NDE in 2022, found in bed by my partner. Been working really hard with my T on putting the memory together and so on. We've come across other traumas in my past and we're working...

I've been doing CBT for PTSD-DS for a while now. Originally it was for a single event, and that's what we've been working on. Yesterday my T said that he felt like there was something else, something that was causing me to get stuck and it's may be fueling my current issue. One of the things we...

Anyone else find themself dissociating more after imaginal reliving and symptoms worse with other life stresses? On wednesday, for the 1st time i was able to relive almost all of the memory. What tends to happen normally is we start the excersise and very soon after i'm totally lost in it and...

So a huge part of my isssue is that i nearly died, in bed. I went to bed one night and came round to my partner trying to save my life. I can't go into more detail just now, i'm not ready. I'm just gonna offload and hope it helps i'm fed up with not being able to sleep i'm tired i hate that...

So I'm going through cbt for a near death experience in 2022, diagnosed with ptsd-ds. While I've been going through sessions and learning to let emotions be there rather than push them away or escape for this event (which is what caused me to seek help) I'm finding older memories come forward...

My trauma is as a result of my diabetes. I had an NDE in 2022 (severe low), and it's only through therapy for that event that i've realised how much of an impact type 1 has had on my life, in ways i hadn't noticed or i'd repressed. I try not to let type 1 get me down, i write online in blogs and...

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...

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...

Hi guys! It's been a little while since i've posted here, things are going fairly well and i've been checking in on here regular for tips and advice. Since i last posted I have a new T, and what a difference it's made! There always felt to be like a coldness from my old T, like they weren't...

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?

Hi everyone! I'm new here. Long story made as short as i'm comfortable with, apologies for not explaining the cause in full... I had an NDE in 2022, left it a while cos i thought i'd ''get over it''. Finally realised that wasn't working and got help. Started CBT today following a few tests and...
