Good luck and wishing you a speedy recovery also! :) bec

Since there has been some interest in my old thread I thought I would update it a bit here. I still get those wierd light-bulb room flash things. It is no longer flashback related though, it just goes off as if some strobe light went nuts in my brains. They are not as painful as they used to be...

http://www.ptsdforum.org/c/threads/emdr-lashback-when-emdr-goes-wrong.1388/ Follow that thread Ms. Muffet as it's the one on what went wrong with me and still is.. LOL Abstract might want to read it also. I was only referring to the MPD/DID discussion as being off topic. :) bec

The book arrived yesterday! I glanced through it and it looks great for a supporter! I won't see Dean for a week and a half yet, so I have to hold onto my horses to give it to him. :) I'm excited. bec

Damn you know I never thought of that! It very well could be. I don't remember if she used that term or not, but she most likely did. And I'm still struggling with the damage from it, although it has greatly lessened over time. I don't recall having any issues with the word in College when we...

Exactly he has risked showing you compassion. You could have turned that on him and been cruel but you didn't. So you already know from past experience what type of person he is. The risk is actually minimal. It's your fear that is the issue. Learning our therapists are human can be hard. This...

Ah I understand it. It's a vulnerablity actually. When you care about someone, they have the ability to use that care to hurt you. When you have already experienced that abuse of your feelings, it's really hard to let anyone see or know about it afterwards. It takes a lot of trust to be able to...

What is happening to you is that your making strides and getting better. Jadebear, this can be good. Yes you are probably freaked out due to past experiences. I love my therapist. Out right love that woman. When I first realized it, it scared the crap out of me too. However how could I not love...

ROFL! omg.. and I'm going to bed with pussing petting images in my head.. ARGGGGGGG

Actually, I"m glad you mentioned it. I have bath issues although mine is due to other reasons. I was in the bathtub when someone broke into my house. I had my bathroom door open and the only thing that stopped him (I know who it was) was my dog. Ever since I've felt really vulnerable in the tub...

I think many of us confuse deserve with meeting the criteria. Honestly I don't want to deserve it. I think my abusers deserve PTSD. However I do meet the diagnostic criteria for it.. darn... Just another way to look at it... bec

To further confuse the issue, intrusive thoughts are often listed as a flashback when really it's not. So if you puttering around your house and suddenly you can't stop yourself from thinking about a traumatic event, that is an intrusive thought. When I get flashbacks, I have no idea I'm in the...

BAHAHAHAHAHA.. okay my answering machine says: You have reached Bec and Matt, we are integrating our phone services with recording devices. If you wish to be integrated please leave your name and number and we will integrate a return phone call into our busy schedule. Thank you and have a nice...

Yeah I have the puter, my mp3 player, god only knows how many cd devices, a couple of mini-recorders... um probably a few more... I'm thinking probably a cd because it's multi-purpose and my son usually takes over the computer. I've barely had any time on it all weekend! I bet even the PS3 has...

Simple answer, no love is not blind, people are.....

I did not say I do not believe in MPD, I said I don't agree with the massive amounts it's diagnosed. I have good reason for it considering I graduated as a Social Service Worker and we don't hand out that diagnosis like candy here. I firmly believe it is over-diagnosed, mis-diagnosed and out...

Ah.. can't remember when Complex first started being used but it was very recent so your probably right. I really can't say if you fit it or not without going back and re-reading everything. LOL too tired for that right now. I'm so sorry your having such problems at work. Your supervisor sounds...

I'm sorry but this is quite rude. Who exactly is single minded? Just because someone has a different view does not make anyone here single minded. I have not seen one post in this thread that was without respect, lack of interest or single minded other than this one. Attacking members is just...

Welcome to the forum. :) bec

*snorted coffee out of her nose* BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA kers....

ROFL!

Boy this sounds like fun! Brings back some very good memories. My dad taught me to dance and waltzing is my favorite one. Of course I can't remember him teaching me but good memories over the years none the less! :) Too bad you guys can't take a vid! ;) bec

I have a question that just dawned on me. LRS, were you ever diagnosed with Complex? Or is it just PTSD? I'm wondering if that makes a difference. bec

Thanks Nicolette! Anthony: do you think it's from having amnesia or from something hidden in the amnesia or both? Just curious... This thread is my start of exposure. It's mine, I have to read it. LOL I think I'm gonna outline a plan for exposing myself and baby step myself up to a big goal...

Well the title says it all. I'm hoping to figure out why exactly I get the same reaction every single time I hear or read this term, no matter how it's applied. I'd like to work past this so I can read it without this reaction so I can post and actually read these threads! When I read this...
