Thank you everyone, truly helpful and I appreciate all the feedback. I'm going to try to talk to my T about this.

its been a while since I've posted on here and this has been on my mind for a while. I want to show my therapist my self harm scars. She's seen some but most are on my hips/upper thigh. I dont know why I feel the need to show her, but I also feel like this is really weird... i guess I just...

He was more specific, although I didnt find it productive to post dosages on here. I was only attempting to see if anyone had some similar experiences with med decreases.

Taking zoloft

After having a conversation with my dr I decided to decrease my dosage due to numbness. He suggested go slowly until i find the right dose for me. I started a few months ago with a small decrease and didnt notice anything. The last week I've started another decrease and the last few days I've...

You are definitely not alone. What you described happens to me often. I find that grounding is a big help as well as positive self talk that make you feel more in the present.

Reading this I really connected with that fear of opening up and being unable to say the things I need to. I found that writing helps. Maybe try writing things out that you want to talk about, send her a copy and then you read it when you see her. Her having a copy may help you feel like she...

Definitely came here looking for answers to the same. My thoughts were; grounding, staying busy when up and self care. Now I lie in bed, terrified of having another nightmare and not being able to shake it off...

I keep seeing "normal" at the end of treatment which I'm learning isn't the case. Acceptance Peace Not living in fear Manage anger aND express it To cry when I feel the need

I've found that there are only certain ppl I open to about it. And I'm OK with that. The ones that get it and can support you are the ones that count. You don't need to share with everyone.

I tried to go back to work from a work trauma multiple times. Everytime my symptoms got worse. I am now at the point where I've somewhat accepted that I cant do what I used to. This was a long process for me (over 2 years) but advocating for yourself in what you want/need is huge. Stabalization...

Well I went. Pushed through. I just wanted it over with. It was a disaster, I was a total mess. Guess my Dr now knows how bad things are.... I feel so empty and horrible...

How do you manage making these appts? I know I need to go and have talked to my Dr about it but still can't bring myself to do it

Thank you so much! These have all been very helpful. I struggle with trust so trusting my therapist is very hard for me because the things she tells me sounds to me like giving up on my goals. But you're right about trusting what she's saying to find ways to work through it and not just jump...

I'm a medic. It's a part of me and getting over the fact that I'll never be able to go back to that was hard. But now looking at retraining and realizing that I may not be able to do anything that i want? Another roadblock that I am struggling to accept. Living in fear is not optimal and I just...

I'm just curious if anyone has experienced this. Steady anxiety from when I get up till I manage to fall asleep. Nightmares and broken sleep. The only thing I can think of is that it's left over from a T session over a week ago. I feel uncomfortable in my body all the time. Like something...

Anyone have similar situation? Something triggered me and sent me on a total anxious spiral. I couldn't manage it and had panic attacks daily. I don't normally get this to the degree it was since I've been off the job that caused it. Doing lots of self care lately and still feeling the effects...

Totally agree with this and it makes me so angry. I don't get normal now because of my job? Screw that, there's gotta be more... I need there to be more

My t went away and didn't give me a backup plan other than to email her. I did and she told me we would talk about it next time she saw me... How is that helpful? Am I just over reacting?

Looking to try some different strains for when I get flashbacks. Any suggestions? High cbd seems to work for anxiety sometimes but I try to be careful with the content as it makes me more anxious. I've mostly tried hybrids but looking to get some indica possibly? Any thoughts or experiences...

I know it's my disease but it's such an uphill battle. I can't see the hope that all my supports are giving me. Checking myself into hospital is the last thing I ever thought I would do and it's weighing on me to do that... But I'd rather just end it, I'm afraid of myself aND I hate who this...
