Key Lime Pie (do not like this - too sweet for me - but my husband LOVES it and every time he sees - key lime pudding or key limes - he tells me the story again about how good his grandma made it and how he and his uncle at an entire pie between the both of them). okay sorry - back on topic...
I have only successfully processed on memory. It was weird - and it was not with a machine at all - she used touch on the sides of my legs and her hands were the "movement" and that worked for me. That is a good point @CrowFeather thank you. You reminded me of what worked for me. I need to...
Oh I don't do it anymore - I made a promise with my therapist - and when I make a promise like that - I follow it - fortunately - that is what I do! Thank GOD actually! Because now that I am allowing some emotions in - even though I don't even realize it - I actually am feeling buzzed and...
YIKES! @Whispering_Truth I am blessed to not have had those side effects - however, my tolerance for most things - as in I can drink - like 9 shots of a hard liquor in less than 2 hours and still not black out and function for the most part (I am overweight but I am only 5' 1" and a woman) plus...
I'm on 150 mg of effexor xr and I have to say I'm not sure if it is the medication or my disease sickness.. ptsd with dissociation or both but my memory sucks to say the least. I agree with your statement @Whispering_Truth
Then again I started this medication 2 days after my first session...
@Marymickaela you processed a lot of hidden hurts. The therapist didn't leave she stayed. She allowed you to process it. Even if you don't remember it right now that is okay. This is one step on the puzzle. I understand the need to f*cking understand the understandable. I also hate labels...
Oh same here. I hate having to say...could you repeat what you just said (while thinking) I'm sorry I just dissociated I have no clue what u said... but trying to keep a smile on my face to not let anyone I don't trust know. And the tiredness from lack of sleep is terrible because I try to...
@Leah Morgan - you are brave to keep doing what you need to do. It is not just a little thing to do what is expected ... you are kicking some ass. Despite the ... way you feel.. you are still able to do what you need to do. not that I feel that way when I go through the hell days...
When I...
@shell thank you. I can tell it has been a long, yet, empowering journey for you. I do not know why I am trying to make this sound perfect .. that is stupid of me - I am not stupid the way I am "trying" to respond "perfectly". So I laugh at myself.
Now thank you @shell - thank you for...
Yes @bright future28 I believe it will happen one day. In some ways fast-forwarding through the shit - sounds nice - but honestly I don't think it would heal. So even though it sucks and hurts like HELL - here's to healing in the right way and right time for each of us! :)
@shrinkingviolet ...it is on them if they can't deal with how you are at any moment. Masks are what I do ...did...how I survive/survived...yet I think they are terrible. ...as in keep us from healing. It's okay to let yourself be yourself so you can heal..*realize as I say this I'm saying...
Yeah. I use curse words and hell a lot. Only because it is just how I feel completely. And yeah people who say things that hurt so much you want to scream...as in what they said about not feeling love.... I know when that happens to me I want to sink into nothingness and disappear.
