Thank you! :hug:

It's a suggestion not to lose your ideas when you have many of them and you don't know how to organize and use them.

Whenever you want :cool:

That's really sadistic. You won't move backward if you simply take your time. Read what you just wrote in this last post and try to observe yourself from outside: you are amazing! I also have to tell you that, when you will decide to began to talk, many times you will have the impression that...

I think that you can rember so well the time in which you suffered the abuse because in that time the only wrong thing was your abuser. So your mind is like telling you that all the rest was ok and you need to remember that. In some way now not everything is ok, and that's why your brain doesn't...

Oh, you will like it again, I promise! ;)

But where are you living now?

I know exactly how you feel. I have been feeling the same for years and years.. You have a huge quantity of pain inside, but also other feelings, strong negative feelings, mixed with pain. Maybe anger, maybe shame. That's why tears don't come out. Try to express what you feel, even if numbness...

My advice is not to go to school if that is too difficoult for you now and if staying there with these symptoms makes you feel worst. Sometimes we need to take a vacation to find the way to live everyday life. How old are you?

Just do relaxing things, like autogenic training or a massage to your head (there are specific tecniques for PTSD) :sleep: . If you can't talk, you can't talk! ;)

I don't know if you suffer dissociation. Do you have a therapist?

Why don't you go directly to a help center?

Hey! Season 9 started! Who is watching it? I am :D

I am loosing weight simply avoiding carbohydrates, eating proteins, vegetables and fresh fruit every day. :) PS. More, sugar is bad for brain health.

Maybe you need a new therapist and keep her as a friend.

I have a life of any kind of trauma, my T. uses a lot of different tools, between which EMDR, that is great to remember the things that you forgot. By myself I use many other strategies to be good, and other tools. My suggestion is not to say no to something before having tried it.

Hi, Why don't you simply act normally? I mean: asking a soldier "How is it to kill a person?" would be rude anyway ;) PTSD is an illness, but mental illnesses of any knid and, above all, patholgical personalities are so widespread that, if I was a member of your family and I hadn't PTSD, I...

Oh, NurseRachet, I don't know what to tell you..But I suspect that you have a lot to give. Why don't you try to write a book? Welcome!

EMDR is a tool. As any tool in a complicated situation it needs time. The situation that you describe is very hard and, above all, long. That's why you will need time to process everything, whatever tool you will use. I find EMDR useful. Good luck!

I am not talking about feeling blocked. My brain hasn't been working at all for 15 years: no short term memory, no middle term memory, no long term memory, no work memory, no old memories, nothing at all. In CPTSD there is a thing called dissociation (my nickname ;) ), but in my case it is so...

Keifer, about your rage, I have felt like you for a lot of years. Then I learnt to calm down using meditation and also my therapist helped me a lot. I exactly know how you feel about control, there have been days or moments in which I was in the metro and I wanted to smash everything around me...

Thank you franciemarnie. After my collapse, 18 years ago, I haven't been able to feel anything, together with the memory problems. In these years, I haven't been able to do anything at all. In opposite to the previous situation, in which I was too efficient. In the last years I am better and...
