I find your manner, tone and words very unkind. One can also just ignore posts that stress them. 🧚‍♂️

Leaving a country…save money…get a hobby 🤔. That seems a bit brutal. Maybe you are trying to help, but I think it could have been said in a more supportive way. 🧚‍♂️.

Hello Cazz, I understand. It is hard to live with the symptoms and difficult to explain them to friends. I am now in a bad episode and I have days where I cannot function and I am learning to tell people I trust. That is tricky because if you feel rejected or unheard it makes things worse. I...

Hello Cazz, I am the same at the moment. The world makes me feel unsafe. I can be together with people I trust, however, it took me years to tell people the truth. I started recently, but the shame of not functioning well and needing help is hard. I isolate and can’t get out and that...

Welcome to-the forum. I hope you find it helps, it sure helps me. I have CPTSD and ready and sharing here make me feel supported. 🧚‍♂️

Welcome to the forum. I understand this well. Peace should be easier than the suffering we endure. I feel for you too. 🧚‍♂️

I am at one thing a day, also at home. One step at a time is my go to. It is rough so I applaud you. 🧚‍♂️

Welcome to the forum. I haven’t tried any but am interested in Ketamine infusions. I found a doctor here who I am going to speak to soon. I am uncomfortable with psychedelics so I thought this might be the best step for me. There is a good documentary on Netflix about the topic called How...

I understand, my reply was about PTSD conversation … not about other medical condiotions 😊

It helps me tremendously, saved me during my current episode. I thank everyone here and am glad you found us 🧚‍♂️

I avoid talking to medical doctors about it, unless I HAVE to. This includes my current psychiatrist, who doesn’t understand trauma. I don’t really care, the meds she prescribes me are what I need. I talk to people who understand. I went through the same things you described for 40 years and...

Welcome to the form! I understand, currently in a episode from work stress. It is rough, but people here understand. 🧚‍♂️

Yes I am, with a therapist I trust and hypnoses. I remember some of the trauma anchored to my PTSD but I cannot feel them, only fear. This half conscious method with a safe place brings them up and I can finally feel them. That said he has been my therapist for 4 years, he knows my life and I...

Welcome to the forum. Sorry for your struggles. I can relate to it. I had to let people go in order to save myself. I understand how hard it is and the fear and guilt attached. Therapy helped me find my way out of unhealthy relationships. The effects of trauma are still a struggle. You...

You can share here, we are listening. 🤗

Me too, I cannot remember which things I did and when. My new method is not thinking about what I did yesterday, I tell myself…it is over. When I think about what I did yesterday it makes me panic and feel worse. I need hope for a way out of my episode at the moment 🧚‍♂️

This is something I am learning. I have had many days like this in the last four months and I am trying this method out now! Thank you for your post, it makes me feel hope.

Welcome to the forum, sorry for what you have been through. I don’t have any magic answers but I know what it feels like to be in it. Hoping you find comfort and support here on the forum. 🧚‍♂️

Welcome to the forum. Talking about it all is a big step. I am fairly new here, but it a place of great support for me. I think you are very brave to open up. Things that happened to us a children was out of our control…I am learning that myself. That fact is still hard for me, as shame is...

I know these feelings. Sorry you are in such a difficult place. I agree with everyone about the letter. Letters are stressful for me too when I am in a stressful phase ….. 🧚‍♂️

😊 @Sideways. I appreciate it very much. I think somedays I am stable enough but other not. I have okay days, then really bad days and yesterday I was in bed, so maybe EMDR will have to wait. I increased my meds and added a new one. I know I need to be patient, but being on the rollercoaster...

Thanks I can understand that. I think that is a good strategy, feeling safe. I lost one my jobs and it started this episode. I was having trouble at my other job so the combination of these events through me into panic mode. I guess that is why I don’t feel safe, I am not working at the...

Thank you for the information. The work we started is not about recalling exact memories but trying to find a safe place to begin to look at what I went through. The terror of my feelings, stops me from moving forward. It took me months to even imagine somewhere safe, where I could relax. I...

Hey Arfie, good advice, maybe just accept its presence without really knowing. I am someone who likes clarity, as fear is my main obstacle. I have the desire to meet my fears and prove to myself I can stop them. Maybe accepting my fears and comforting myself with the knowledge it is okay to...

You are right, feeling safe to explore it is more important. That picture is one of many from my childhood and fear and dread are connected. Maybe that is all the connection to those feelings. These feelings cause me to depersonalize and I can’t think straight. I will talk to my T and see...
