I not sure if I call myself depressed,i am annoyed/depressed at times because I have these conditions.i am annoyed I used to work and cannot anymore.

that's like story from a movie,only it real life. what did they do after the neurological battery test? I was told a few years after that I suffered a mtbi and the symytoms should only of lasted 12 months,so it could be ptsd making the memory/concentration linger.

thanks for the reply florian7051.

hi My therapist started emdr treatment and I feel different.i wonder is it possible that it is really working. Has anyone one else had results with this treatment.?? iv had this for a few years and find it had to believe it has such good results.

sounds tough "jades jewel".i wonder how long this lasts and when do we see an improvement?they are doing something to our brains......but what? I remember after my last session,i just felt spaced out.we had to go to friends house after and i just sat in the corner.i think i know how a ghost...

when I dissociate my mind just goes elsewhere.as if someone has hit a switch.before the EMDR,i would feel myself getting stressed,but now I seem to go straight in to dissociate mode. the EMDR sessions just made me really emotional,i never said very much,just roller coaster of feelings-if that...

i been told i have complex ptsd,but i think i have just been labeled with that because i dissociate/derealization.(i had no child-hood traumas,just few bad car accidents. i have had a few sessions of EMDR lately. Before these sessions i would get very panicky/sweaty hands/nervous before and then...

is derealisation/dissociation a separate condition to ptsd or are they just the extreme end of ptsd?

hello I will be starting EMDR myself and iam afraid the same will happen me.my mind will go blank.the things the therapist wants me to talk about cause me distress and I normanally dissociate. Are you supposed to just tell them all the things that stress you?

I get very stressed when I talk the trauma and dissociate. so when I do the EMDR,iam afraid this will trigger memories and dissociate.

when I have to go and see a therapist or doctor,i go over and over in my head the conversation that I think will be talked about and what I will say and what they will say. I do this so my mind wont go blank and have something to say back to them!

soon going to be starting EMDR for my dissociation/complex ptsd.The therapist told me I might just say random thing during it,iam not sure what he meant ? I am hoping this helps me,if it does not,there is nothing else. If the EMDR works,does the theraphy go weeks/months?

maybe it is a mix of both.but who makes that call,the neurologist or therapist ? has anyone else had similar problems?

is this from the mild brain injury or complex PTSD or both ! ? my neurologist thinks its from complex PTSD and my therapist thinks its from the mild brain injury.i had ptsd before the accident and worked away.I too have to write notes everywhere,i used to work in a job fixing machinery until the...

I will try EMDR.i had ptsd before and got treatment for it. then this accident happened,it was only minor accident,but I had a mild brain injury(concussion).I have not been the same since.iv been told I have complex PTSD(+ dissociation/derealisation) from the last minor accident.the psychiatrist...
