" ...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...
I either can't accept it is my normal state and think if it was a depression It wouldnt bother me so much but i really suffer inside in this like slooooow motion life and my inner like trying to escape from this "cell" but when I have this period my therapist says just to be with it and don't...
I m also questioning this type of dissociation. and few days ago started similar thread, thinking perhaps it is already aquired depression or even dysthimia..but this fog really very frustrating. Sometimes I can "jump of it" only when there is smth very exciting for my brain (moving to another...
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...
How do I jump out of dissociation? Talking to myself, comforting and then do smth (listed above) but the most effective is therapist talk or a significant one. But I don't have one already. And i guess I got to use to it(that I'm alone) already thanks to my thearpy hmmm. That is triggering me...
my therapist also says to think what causes it. But the thing is that i dont feel that there is smth trigerring me. (i have dissociations a lot and am aware how to cope with them). now i completely isolated myself from others and can do what i want but still it takes me here and
i cant just...
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...
And I m very frustrated. In spite of awful experience I still I want healthy relationships but they are impossible of me unhealthy, and im sincereily happy for you, for your supporters who understand your "switches off" but i really have strong doubts I 'll meet anyone who will stand it.
Oh...
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
@Catty, sorry to hear that and I realize how it might hurt you proving the fact you had those worries before( ( and I even did not try to ask for a leave because of mental health problems because it is not a common thing here. There were two times when I couldn't go to work and referred to...
Gorgeous! You ve done a great thing! Hope you have already felt the positive results of your "private talk"). And i still cant say it to my little... I remember the first time when my therapist told me to look at my photo when i was 5 and to say that i love her. and i literally couldnt do it i...
(as always sorry for bad English).I have had a lot of hard work on myself and incredibly grateful to my therapist for changes i have. But now i don't feel any progress, particularly in dissociation issues and the last three sessions we,,emm like are "fighting" arguing about our views. She still...
I am also here with you . When it happens to me I just try to fall asleep though it is not good way as well but I haven't found a better one and reminding myself it will pass soon. So it will pass, just know it
I'm 31 and I still remember that very first time when I began to feel smth. It was water in shower 3 years ago. After that a lot of work has been done. I was like a child (and still is)discovering more and more about my perception and feeling gratitude that I can feel. Though there were...
And I work not part time but kind of freelance job. There are days when I'm super productive and the ones when I literally am not capable to think. And as for telling to colleagues or other people... I just dont know how to act because if to say just couple of words nobody will understand...
@Suzetig, @ABKD Thanks for sharing positive experience! And that is awesome that you have support, those people who support you im sure are incredible). But then I have a question (or perhaps it is better to start a new thread ..) are there any chance to be successful without support? Sometimes...
@SpiritSong , yes, that is awesome feeling when you help people,so I'm happy that you like your job and good at it. As for therapy -you 've done a big way and your results are inspiring.
@Ronin, sorry to hear that (( and it is so familiar to me... but i still try to believe it won't be always...
