Ok so I'll start with a quick recap. I have been seeing my family GP for almost 8yrs for the general woes but also have a heart condition which requires a pacemaker/defibrillator . I was sexually assaulted by a stranger while out jogging, end of last year. After all this I was diagnosed with...
Thanks for the reply! EMDR was ok to start with. I knew I was abused as a child because I was removed from my parents and made a ward of the state. I was too young to have any memories which growing up I thought was my saving grace. Between my second and third EMDR session I started having...
Thank you everyone for your comments and advice!
@Solara - my Doctor is great at her job and has been my GP for nearing a decade and wouldn't have it any other way. I actually do happen to have a heart condition which requires a pacemaker/defibrillator a my doctor is more than qualified to...
So here's my dilemma. My T's', my (yet to meet) Psychiatrist and my Doctor all have different views on medication and which ones I should be taking. A few weeks back I was having an extremely difficult time, wasn't thinking straight and sleep deprived. I overdosed on sleeping pills not with the...
I have found this site quite helpful in trying to understand a little more about myself and what I'm going through. Thought it's probably time I introduce myself. I'm a 32 yr old wife and mother of three young children. I'm also a CSA surviver and was diagnosed with Complex PTSD last year after...
I suggest you definitely have that conversation with ur T. Just remember (and I'm speaking from experience) once you open 'Pandora's Box' you cannot close it - so make sure youre ready. Sometimes some things are better left alone. In saying that, for me, it's changing my life for the better.
Fadeaway, unfortunately I don't have any easy answers for you I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I'm in the same position trying different medications to find something that works for me. Hang in there! Maybe discuss different medication options with your Dr if what your on isn't...
Sally Sue I understand how you're feeling. I am currently in the same situation. I feel like I'm being childish but I can't help the way I feel. My feelings from the past get mixed with the feeling from the present and I end up even more confused. I agree with Jane.I the best thing to do is...
There's no better feeling than feeling comfortable with your T. When I found the right one, after a few not wrong but not for me T's, the hard work and healing really began.
Hi Laumarric :) I'm new to this forum also. I think you have the right attitude, wanting to overcome your past. Without going into tmi I was abused as a very young child and placed in foster care.
I've spent most of my life with little to no memory of my childhood. Only 'knowing' what I'd been...
