Can you make up several at one time to keep refrig? Don't think we will do that every day. Thanks. It actually sounds good. We are probably low on protein. Most protein means cooking!

you Thanks all good points especially B. Darn, I knew that. Just with everything forgot. C is important too. Thanks for the reminder. Will do.

I was told years ago by a dog trainer of mine that my dog (animals) have a certain amount of love to give me/us. When they have given it all, they leave. Always before we want them to. I force fed my last dog for two weeks. Then for the first time in his 14 years, he nipped my finger. I then...

OMG can't even imagine what you are going thru. You sound like a brave soul. Then taking care of your Mom on top of it. Complicates things. Got to think she and your family appreciate what you are doing but fear makes words and attitudes come out crooked. Hope you can do something nice and...

After about a year of increasing pain, had surgery that eliminated it. All fine for 5+ weeks. Now surgeon has referred us for psPTSD. (PostSurgeryPTSD). Know how to deal with PTSD. No prob! Nope. It seems a younger group is suffering from it now. More fear, night terrors, eating problems, etc...

We have one like that around now. Like how you describe it as a robot. We described it as a blanket of darkness but like robot better. Know why that one is here but can't do anything about it. Perhaps maybe we don't want is more truthful. For us there is something restful about it Welcome to the...

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Admire how you seem to have skills to deal with it.

For the longest time couldn't look my T in the eye. Heck couldn't talk about real stuff either! I didn't think I had done anything wrong, but was afraid he would be making all kinds of judgments about me. Partly a T's job anyway! Plus it was fear. Had been threatened with dire consequences if...

Just started planning my holiday encounters. Been finding people don't *care* as much as I thought.I project all kinds of embarrassment, questioning, shaming, explaining. Like being asked to bring a picture. It was for a friend's baby shower. I was twisted for days about which one, did it...

Thanks so much!! Tomorrow's another day and it will be better!!! Cookies or no cookies. Thanks so much. You were such a great help. Take care of yourself. We will survive...no thrive!

Like that...May not be better, but will be different. Very encouraging. When think back to how it used to be, it certainly was worse...a lot worse. Thanks so much, ladee.

Thanks for listening. As bad as it was, now feel on guard that it may happen again. May I ask how you deal with that? Feel like we need to be on guard...stay home. Try to tell myself this was a fluke. But I don't believe me!!!

Just need to share to hopefully stop beating myself up. Saw neighbor struggling to get groceries into house. Had my cart handy so helped. Said she and her granddaughter, daughter were making cookies for school & had run out of key ingredient. So she ran to store. While she was there, also...

IMHO there are different kinds of flashbacks. One, as you described, that takes me back into the moment. An emotional one where the feeling occurs out of context. Could be fear, anxiety, or what happened to me a lot, a blank, freeze response. One I call a decision flashback. I'm not making a...

First, only you can decide if you are getting any benefit from your T. I'd be concerned that if she couldn't remember my name, how could she remember my story, my issues. My T will often times put his notes down but I know he will then go back to them after the session. Sometimes eye to eye...

One of my protectors prevents young ones from remembering. Protector has all kinds of ways to prevent memories from surfacing. We enlisted P to help let her remember one thing. Just one, just briefly, then close the door. It was letting her remember her favorite doll. P needed to learn how to...

An earth shaking event occurred in therapy one day when my T said: they lied to you. 4 simple words. First reaction was adults don't lie. No, they wouldn't do that. He simply shook his head yes. Repeated...they lied to you. As a kid, I didn't know adults lied. So if they were saying it it must...

You are not alone. Stopped EMDR cuz of it after two sessions. In my case, it was a response to bring overwhelmed. Also a way of protection. Reenactment of abusive situation where was being overwhelmed but forced to stay...no escape. It would happen at first during EMDR then when being *too*...

In the military, there is an exit strategy. When getting ready to bug out you have a bag packed..vehicle gased up... money available...destination & route drawn out. Perhaps plans at your destinction. You know how, when, where. The fantasy part comes in as unrealistic, unexpected outcomes. I...

I can relate at this point in time. I picture an enormous overstuffed coat. Perhaps it's protection. Went to an event today that I anticipated would be emotional. Thought had *properly* prepared with help of T. But put on that big coat....feel nothing.

Why? Haven't figured out why Ts think adding more dxs is a good thing. The more the better?!!! I'm sure if my T wanted to, he could add several more. Have one that covers major symptoms, and insurance, and we work with the other symptoms as they relate.

People who haven't experienced that degree of pain can't phantom the depths, all consuming pain she was feeling.

Patches are available. My favorite: do not pet...working dog. Stops a lot of conversations before they start!

Yea, JadeN that was what I considered flashbacks. But then recently read Peter Walker's book about emotional flashbacks. What ticked me off was that my T knew all about them, had seen me have them but not explained them to me. Oversimplified, it's reliving the emotion without the pictures. My T...

My T told me about this site!
