    Me and sex - advice needed (inspired by sex and ptsd thread)

    " ...venting, sharing and asking questions.." well, that line finally helped me to speak up. I even didn't tell about it to my therapist. There is so much work at sessions that is why I often think sex talk is a thing I can't afford now. Sorry if something will be unclear, I'm really doing...

    Partially here and there

    There was a continuation of that "srory". The next night I had an odd dream where I was succesfully struggling with some circumstances and my mum (though I didn think about her before) sincerely praised me. And by some miracles I woke up fresh and "sound" (almost) and managed to have great...

And i guess I got to use to it(that I'm alone) already thanks to my thearpy hmmm. That is triggering me...

    Partially here and there

    Usually my work helps me to " go out of fog in head" and be what i am (well, my healthy part) but recently i have been felling strange. I cant say it to be disociative episodes (because they are shorter and more intense) but this state lasts for a about week. I m like "here" in dissociation...

    Sufferers, how do you like to be welcomed back after a period of isolation?

    I would validate her feelings, she might be worrying about her return and your reaction as well. But do not forget about yourself, you should also speak up your feelings
