I have onset-central sleep apnea, with some obstructive. I am on an ASV PAP machine for it. The waiting and misdiagnosis, after having another surgery, while dealing with a stalker, and menopause, sent me into an emotional breakdown.

I had to explain my trauma to the third therapist in less than a year, and it triggered my anxiety through my Klonopin dose. I feel really uncomfortable tonight, scared, and I have been crying a lot.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. This is exactly what happened to me, too.

Thank you. I hope things work out for you, too.

I want to leave my abusers, but I am partially financially dependent on them. Whispering_Truth, you are so right, but money problems and health insurance can get in the way of freedom.

I lost 40 lbs in two months, from stress and loss of appetite; verbally and emotionally abusive family and partner, sleep apnea, and gastric surgery triggered my PTSD. I now have a fear of eating, and I have to pretty much force myself to do it.

By the way, she is not alone. My uncle lives with her.

I also witnessed one of my mother's boyfriends hitting her, after I had been raped and beaten by her ex husband. I ran away from home because of it.

I am both a childhood and adult domestic violence and rape survivor; multiple rapes from two different family members over the years. One of the rapists is deceased, and other one is still in the family. I have been living with my current boyfriend for almost 13 years, but he has a history of...

My now former therapist verbally assaulted me, triggered me, and then when I told her it hurt, she dumped me.

Three things: 1. Feeling keyed up and anxious through my Klonopin dose. 2. Bathroom issues. 3. Crying jags; feeling too much sadness, and crying at songs I used to love.

Thank you. I was calmly assertive though; I did not yell back at her or behave as she did. I'm just thankful I found a new therapist to go try to talk with next week.

Thank you for your kindness. It means a lot to me. I'm sorry that you have also had similar experiences with two of them, as well. To add insult to injury; I think I may have mentioned this earlier in this thread, my mother's husband verbally abused me on the phone after I told him this happened...

I've stopped drinking any caffeinated beverages, and I gave up chocolate, because of my anxiety. I'm on a low dose of Klonopin and I'm still afraid of any stimulants.

Lisa, I'm sorry for what you have been through. I empathize. I was also molested as a child, and it has impacted me in some really terrible ways. I send a hug to you if you accept it. :hug:

I'm sorry you're going through this.

That is what I also suspect. I used to dream I was choking on my pillow. They found apnea.

This happened to me. I went to the ER several times, only to be rejected and treated as though I were a hypochondriac. I begged them to put me into the sleep lab, but they refused, because I had anxiety; they assumed that was all it was. I called a sleep clinic in another city and begged them to...

I found a new (male) therapist today; going to give that a try. I have an appointment with him next week, in the evening, and I am eager to go and talk with him. We had a nice phone conversation today, and I told him what I have been through. (Nice, but I could not help but cry while we spoke.)

I am so sorry this happened to you. :hug: if you accept it. It sounds to me like you could use another therapist who would not say such things to you.

I have fear of fear, anxiety, fear of my family, and the house I live in, and I feel shame for being on my anxiety medication. Trying hard to self-soothe and tell myself I am in a safe space.

Thank you, Sammy. It really did scare me, and I empathize. I'm with you on this, and I hope I find a more suitable therapist.

Thank you for the hugs. :hug: back if you accept them. I am afraid to report her or even post a review online. I'm just going to move on.

Thank you. I cried it out the other day. I needed to.

Thank you. I do. :hug: if you accept them back.
