@Sweethellishlove You did great to tell her that - it sounds like it might work out better now.

@mytai I am so very happy to hear how well you have been cared for in hospital. Your pets will be so glad to see you home!

I have something similar. It is really hard to explain, I get where you are coming from with that. Something I came across on here seemed to explain it a bit, and maybe it will help you too - try searching "Structural Dissociation". I'm afraid I'm not able to explain it to you myself, as I'm...

Depression less severe today - still there, but I'm coping a little bit better.

I'm so glad to hear that you may soon be able to access a psychiatrist! Then you can confirm any diagnoses, and get the correct treatment. I'm really glad the breathing technique helped you. Here's to working through all our crap together! :)

@Foxglove I'm grateful you started this thread, I'm having the same problem, and the advice on here is so helpful.

She sounds like she has no experience with trauma, and is trying to cover it up with this programme. The programme sounds like it is more for her than for you. It sounds like a really bad idea. I'm not sure if you have access to a different T, but if you can, please consider it. I don't...

@ellienad it was difficult, due to my reluctance to ask such a thing, and also due to my not wanting to have to mention the "thing" again. I think I said something like, "last week when you had to ask about something significant that happened to me, that I had already told you about, it was...

@pamcoco and @Rumors I'm sorry you are suffering in these same ways, and thank you so much for answering amidst your own pain.

I was having this happen with my T too, that I've only been seeing a few months, but who I seem to be working well with. I was very upset after one instance of her not remembering "the" thing, that I'd never told a living soul before, and thought I never would. I managed to make myself ask her...

Self-medicating with alcohol. Not getting drunk, but drinking every night for last 2 weeks. It's got to stop before it gets out of hand. Anxious, depressed, SI, shame, disgust. Need to bring myself out of this. Started medication again today.

I've been struggling with this ever since this particular acute bout of PTSD erupted about 5 months ago. First it was because my flashbacks (inc body memories) occurred again, same nature as they always have, only this time the intrusive memories that came with them made me think continually...

Hi @broken brain ! I've only had one session of EMDR so far. It was tough, but did seem to help a bit. If you are prone to dissociating, you might find you dissociate quite a bit afterwards. Self-care is really important afterwards too - try to keep things quiet for yourself for a day or...

Hey @bitterfight_ It sounds terribly triggering for you living with your mother. I too have a tendency to punch myself in the head when badly triggered (interpersonal triggers), though it's only since I "told" someone about my trauma. It's not good at all. I've given myself concussion a few...

I've been stuggling with my symptoms pretty bad for quite a while now, and I'm so sick of fighting the SI and everything else. It's been getting worse, and I'm barely coping. So, I finally gave in and saw my doctor, and he gave me a script for Zoloft (sertraline). I think I need the extra...

@mytai I am without words for what you are going through. I haven't been on the forum much lately, but have been thinking of you. Like echo said, the liver is an amazing organ and can regenerate. I am very glad that you are being looked after so well.

Very depressed

My feelings of despair have lifted quite a lot. I have felt almost normal this afternoon. I even made brief eye contact at the checkout. Tonight, however, I feel angry. Mainly at my husband, who complains about everything, and is looking for reasons not to take our son to play in an elite...

I've had many years where I was ok, and reading was not a problem. But since my PTSD hit me hard, reading is a huge problem. Lately, I've had trouble reading much of this forum, let alone a book, or an article, etc. I think maybe being in "threat mode" so often has a lot to do with it - stuck...

I am feeling a lot of things. I am alternating between numb and utter desperation and depression, like my life is already over. It isn't, but the emotions are there as if it was. I have way too much evidence now I've spoken to my family to deny anymore. It was horrible to keep circling...

@Philippa It sounds like a lot of stuff is coming up for you right now. I feel for you. :hug: coming your way.

Feeling empty.

I really identify with this. My boys are teenagers now, and have deep, loud voices. It's triggering due to emotional /verbal abuse from my father.
