So I have had anxiety in some way or form ever since I was a kid . I just figured that out. From hair eating to OCD thoughts. It didn’t get bad until after my dad died and then after my first job I had real panic attacks. My grandpa is a neurotic person. My mom turned into a neurotic person...

Yes I told her and she knows. I think I have a lot of power in this and I’m not even thinking about the target and the person in the target. It’s just the after effects or something of it that make me feel shitty. I feel like I can move past this but for some reason my body wants me to be stuck...

Well I guess you were trying to make me feel better but I feel worse so thanks for that. :)

You said you suffered for 2 years ??? How long did you do EMDR??? I only did it for 2 sessions lol I don’t see how I’d be suffering for two years. That would seem pretty excessive. I’m sorry but your post just really scared me and btw your reply really scared me

Hi I’m back. Last week was bad and I wasn’t feeling good all due to some mistakes I made (lowering my dose of lexapro ) and being on placebo week of BC which is not a fun time for me. I stopped my bc break early and went back on BC and now I’m back on my usual dosage of lexapro. Still having...

Okay I guess that’s the word for it dysregulation. I think I had a few things going on last week that didn’t help with the feeling. First I was like let me go down to 12.5mg of lexapro instead of my usual lexapro of 15. That caused me to have intrusive thoughts that were mostly based on anxiety...

has anyone ever felt like they have everything? They should be grateful? But still not happy? It really makes me sad.

Oh okay well I guess then I should not do any EMDR for six months then. I just feel like it really brought up shit which it’s supposed to do but I wasn’t ready for it and now I’m stuck? Or I feel stuck in this. I don’t like feeling depressed like this over something that happened so long ago . I...

I’m gonna talk to her again next week. Last week I told her how I felt after the second session the week previous and we just talked and didn’t do any EMDR. I was relieved. I’m gonna tell her I don’t think I’m ready and I don’t know when I ever will be. I just don’t feel like myself. And I don’t...

I did two sessions of EMDR therapy and though it wasn’t the worst feeling it definitely feels bad. I don’t feel like myself after my last session, being on lexapro doesn’t help. I was on 15mg for about 6 months and was feeling like a zombie almost numb but it helped with staying sane at work and...

UPDATE: Feeling more open , more anxious, want to just sleep in bed but I have work ! Normal after first session? Yesterday was my first session. I knew I’d be feeling weird but today I woke up and I’m feeling a little more anxious than normal. Feeling really open and vulnerable. Also feeling...

True that’s right. If I can finish a few targets and get more confidence I might ask my therapist if we can conquer the phobia and her help me and guide me through that. I’m not sure what else she can do besides resourcing. It’s def a big trigger for me and really affects my day to day if I’m...

I really want to work on a phobia I have which is emetophobia and that’s what I was gonna start on. But the day came and I started getting sick just thinking about that. So I told my therapist we gotta start another target. My cousin told me that I was being too ambitious with wanting to start...

I feel like from earlier in my life it was alot of emotional associations but also fact based too. I feel like a lot of my trauma also comes from parents who were not emotionally involved in some way in raising me?? I mean there’s so many things that happened when I was younger that were...

We’ve done quite a lot. plus I’m on lexapro and I feel like that’s helping me move through all this without too much anxiety and fear. I’m just wondering if everything that happened today is normal. My feet feel really cold for some reason now.

I’m starting EMDR and my target was when my ex told me there’s better looking girls out there than me. We started with that but my thoughts became really strange. He cheated on me so it’s really complicated I figure. I’ve even traumatized my whole life and the relationship made it worse. I...
