Thank you for your reply. Wow, you have been thru so much. I'm not feeling irritable at all today, just very tired. So going to rest and play on the computer. I would never go to the hospital as I was in and out of the hospital in 2003/2004/2005. Only good one was the last one.

Thank you so much for all your replies. I will re-read them again when I have time and respond. I did leave a message for my Tdoc to call me. I've only called her once before and she didn't return my call until late afternoon. I've only been with her for 4 months and love her. I love the...

I had an EMDR session yesterday like no other and would like to know if I should be worried. I've been dx: PTSD, Bipolar, ADHD, sleep disorder, OCPD and have had a really bad year of health problems. Broken tooth, torn retina, macular pucker in my left eye. A fall the end of April causing a...

I think part of why this is working great (so far) is I have a great connection with this therapist. Like I said I tried EMDR several years ago and it didn't work at all. That person didn't know what she was doing, whereas this one trained under Dr. Shapiro the person who came up with EMDR...

I haven't posted here for a couple months and wanted to post under an EMDR thread, but guess I don't have privileges. I've been in traditional therapy for over 10 years. Tried EMDR with someone else about 4 years ago and found it terribly distracting to have her wave her finger in front of my...

I'm really sorry you had to go thru all that. It sounds awful. (T I started seeing a trauma therapist (Tdoc) for PTSD the end of April. We spent a good two month with her getting to know my history and coming up with a long long list of Targets before we ever started EMDR. I haven't had that...

I just read your post. I too am doing EMDR. I started see my new therapist the end of April and we probably spent the next two months just getting my history and knowing each other. We've probably done about 3 sessions of EMDR so far. I really had a breakthrough last week and will probably...

Since July 10th I've gotten my Klonopin down from 4mg to 2.5mg. It hasn't been horrible, but I have this constant underlying feeling of anxiety. I saw my Pdoc (psychiatrist) again this week and was telling him how my EMDR therapy was going. Last week was extremely stressful. He usually only...

At first when I can't find something I'm ok, but the longer I look my anxiety kicks in until it almost becomes a panic attack to the point, like you said, I can be looking directly at it and can't see it. I start to dissociate and get fuzzy headed. Luckily my H is so used to this happening to...

I'm sitting here trying to have some alone time, but my husband just got up and he's got a cold and is constantly hacking horribly to clear his throat. It's worse then annoying. It's grating. I'm going to have to lock myself up today in my craft room and take a nap this afternoon in my...

One reason for the anger at my sister-in-law and cousins are my H and I are taking a road trip next week to hopefully visit them, which has stirred up a lot of past emotions. I've emailed them about getting together and they haven't responded so I am feeling unwanted, unimportant, neglected, or...

I had to go for an MRI of my shoulder directly after and had taken 10mg of Valium for it so wasn't able to process the session until later when I laid in bed last night. I then started remembering how angry I was during parts of our session. My entire body was filled with intense anger at my...

I've been seeing my new EMDR trauma therapist every week since the end of April. She's gotten to know me in depth, but I've never been able to get in touch with my feelings. I never feel anything, can't remember the last time I cried. Today we talked about my feeling anxious about coming to...

This is kind of long - sorry. Back around the end of 2002 the psychiatrist (pdoc) I had been seeing for a couple years was also seeing my youngest teenage daughter. We were struggling to get my d help and she was in and out of the hospital for what they said was bipolar disorder and multiple...

I'm kind of in the same boat, except I've been on Klonopin for years. Partly for anxiety and mostly for sleep, which it didn't help. I just saw my psychiatrist this week and he said the Klonopin has to go as it's no longer working. I was taking 1mg during the day for anxiety and 3mg at...

Thank you for your response to my question. I really do feel this is somehow related as I've done nothing, strained anything to cause this pain. And for it to come and go for absolutely no reason to me is another indication it's related to stress and lack of sleep. Last night I decided to go...

I've been in therapy a really long time, but just started seeing a trauma specialist the end of April. Seeing her the 1st few times was extremely stressful. One time I came home and crawled into my chair all day and slept. I developed shin splints, but can't remember if I had them before or...

I had my 2nd EMDR session today. I told my therapist that last week where we worked on "Confrontation" I was just spewing situations out, but had no emotions attached to any of them. Today she wanted me to work on the 1st time I remember feeling afraid. I was about 4 and lay in my bed...

Evan, why are you so insistent that my memory has to be false, when in reality we don't and probably will never know for sure? Please stop dismissing my acupuncture experience. You seem to be running my experience and feelings into the ground, dismissing me, and constantly bring up how...

Greenleaf, thank you for all the information. You've given me a lot of information and affirmation to support the possible abuse. Like I said, when I had this memory of being gang raped at approximately age 6 I was trying to remember happy memories. When this memory popped into my brain what...

The EMDR session didn't go as planned, but was good. I gave her my list of 3 Targets and said I thought we could use the one from age 12. I than gave her a quick update on what's going on and said I had to see my dentist after our appt. and was very upset with him as he will never admit to being...

I am nervous about today's EMDR's session.

The EMDR session didn't go as planned, but was good. I gave her my list of 3 Targets and said I thought we could use the one I discussed here on this forum. I than gave her a quick update on what's going on and said I had to see my dentist after our appt. and was very upset with him as he will...

About the incident where I witnessed my dad choking my older brother and almost killing him. My brother has no recollection of this ever happening although he was probably 18 or 19yo when it happened. Thinking about it I must have been around 17. I spoke to my 5 years younger brother...
