Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
I think you should listen to what your heart really says. You have to listen and turn your phone off. You'll know what to do if you contemplate it for a while.
No one can really relate unless they experience what you have. So talk to them about it. May surprise you. I like my boyfriend but want him to call more to talk too. But he's a bit shy and short on attention.
Help of any kind is apreciated by anybody. But the effected person actually has to realize they need help. Any advice of any sort is welcome, but they need to learn to acept what has happened in order to move forward. I have....Have they acepted the past for what it is?
I think reading is overrated IMPO. We all know how to heal ourselves it's just getting out their and takeing your chances, at the risk. Risk of finding what you might have lost but have always known was out their.
A good book thats a bit of money but worth it is No Comfort zone. It has a DVD also
The author and abuse survivor becomes a psychologist. Don't you just love happy endings? ;-)
Effexor does help with energy it takes awhile to kick in. I've been up for 24 hours and still jittery. Oh wait I have a coffee habit I have to get over as well as smokeing. I cleaned the house and spruced myself up today...yeah depression cured.
The best way to stop that is get moveing. Get out in the world and enjoy your pearl in the rough. Or is it diamond.? Grab life by the horns and let the reigns out of your inner child!!!! Give yourself a break and don't pout about things you can not change.
I think you may be overthinking things. What helps is to be validated for your trauma(s). This not only helps with symptoms, but as well brings a bit of peace of mind. you can never truely forget. Just move on from your trauma.
DID does get some getting used to. Though I have an alter that likes to play tricks. I had 3 of them, two of which integrated. Though the one i'm left with refuses to integrate. Take therapy at your own pace, and talk openly here as you feel safe to do so. You have some un-resolved issues with...
Honestly, I think you need to mention this to her T. It can be DID. But, DID people tent to have a better grasp on reality.
IMHO, it sounds as if your near the end of your rope on dealing with her. Also if she's not honest in T it isn't going to help her. She needs to be confronted about her...
This med. is similar to Effexor, which works well for anxiety and major depressive dissorder. These do work well for people who other anti-depressants don't work as well.
Has she ever talked about being DID or what is was once called multiple personality.
If not she may be showing some signs of BPD or borderline personality dissorder. Trying to please you excessively. In any case it sounds as if you may want to be more open with her about her therapy. Maybe...
I had severe abdominal pain for three years. Later to find that it all was somatisation pain. After talking about my trauma again, I am free from the pain. It's undeniable your emotional pain registers as physical pain also.
I dissociate due to DID and understand it is difficult to come to terms with the past. But, we are still here and the life we all want and need is out there waiting for us to grab and try our best to hold onto.
Find a good Psych. Their their to listen. You know your own truth, and the others arn't willing to own up to the abuse the inflicted you.
Search in your heart for the answers that you know are right.
IMO where your at now a baby will only add to the difficulty in your life.
Wow, nice accomplishment. Personally I belive the meds. are mainly for depression. With enough of getting out and being social, we can all manage to fit into society better. Were all different but the same.
