Oh my goodness, the last chapter (chapter 12, season 8) is really.. :wtf::blackeye::sick::bawling::sour: Don't see it, don't see it.

Your post demonstrates that you are a very good thinker indeed ;)

Aha! Nutella! Yumm.. it is addictive (I am Italian, by the way ;) ), but I still prefer dulce de leche :p

Try to relaxe. Everybody has problems, you don't know before, but any of us has a plenty of problems of any kind. So you shouldn't feel different from the others. If you understand this, your anxyety will fade away. ;)

You may always find nice, warm, sencere people to talk with, they are everywere, maybe you can't find them just because you are charging too much this need you have. While it is much more difficoult to build a relationship with someone to trust whom. In this sense I don't trust anybody.

I live in Spain, I have never tried peanut butter, now I will try it :p But... does any of you know dulce de leche? That's my favorite comfort food ;)

I can post links now! :) Link Removed

I don't try to be happy, I try to achieve a calm and focused mind.

You can also ask some of you friends to help you with it: when you are between people your friend can be with you to help you to normalize socialization, in your life, little by little ;)

It's because you are isolated Thinkingman85, you need to live between other people, even if at the beginning this will be weird for you :nailbiting: , you have to be patient. :)

:laugh: Britt.f7 !

I don't think that rage, in your case, is a sign of insanity. On the contrary I believe that until you don't feel rage to have been raped you are a little "crazy". I don't know if I explain myself. For this same reason your therapist want you to express yourself and she/he will be able to...

Maybe you need nice experiences that fill your life, nice persons, no stress, no problems.. things that give you lightness.. and little by little you will feel alive again ;)

Being alive. Then we'll see. ;)

You may also find some therapist that do it "pro bono". Good luck!!

I also am doing EMDR. For what I have understood, caution is mandatory as well as going slowly. We are dealing with a brain whose neurotransmitters are (more o less) altered. The brain is quite plastic but, to change the abnormal structure he has acquired with PTSD, it is needed some time...

To tell the truth PTSD and CPTSD are two different things. In PTSD there are one o more single traumas. In CPTSD there is a period of life in which the subject has been exposed to an ininterrupted series of traumas, there is a situation of trauma that has lasted for many years, like an abuse...

Great job!!! :tup: Thank you for sharing, I will copy the grounding exercise :happy:

Wintersmoke, so sorry to hear that, don't bother with it. ;) May I ask you what are your physical problems?

I am in love with Spencer Reid :inlove:

Quotation from Criminal Minds chapter 12, season 7: "We do not suffer from the shock of our trauma, but we make out of it what suits our purposes." Alfred Adler. Said by Hotch.

I am looking for more scientific articles or presentations too. But they are hard to find in the net, because the common approach is only psychological. Let's get informed each other, would we? :)

I know that there is another difference between PTSD and CPTSD, and it is the biological damage. I mean, when you are exposed to violence, or to a situation of emergency, or to an extreme situation for too much time, your neurons literally burn, some zones of your brain turn isolated and the two...

I find St. John's Wort definitively helpful for light-moderate depression, maybe it doesn't work for major depression. And I don't think it will work after a long period taking chemical strong antidepressants. Antidepressants don't work for sleeping. If you sleep better when you are medicated...

I don't know if I am brave. Maybe I am doing the only thing that keeps me alive, because, at this point, if I hadn't have denounced I would have despised myself too much. Thank you anyway.
