Thank you … I will bring it up next time I talk to my T. We started hypnoses to gently see-if I could handle it. I have no idea myself, about that memory in Chinatown, and you are right, I don’t want to speculate. I had a real flashback this morning after waking up: I watched my mother...

I keep having this vivid memory of a building in Chinatown in downtown LA. I went there on a school trip. Something startled me on that trip, every time I see that building in my head I feel sick with dread. What happened there? It has been haunting me during every bad episode. I forget...

I hear you. I haven’t had a healthy relationship in years, before that a lot of unhealthy ones. I could probably find someone if I tried but I just don’t see that helping me to deal with my mental struggles, more a way to make things worse in my case. I thought a relationship would fix me...

I was just checking out Ketamine therapy with a psychologist. It is an approved therapy where I live, here in Europe. My hesitation is fear psychedelic drugs. I often feel weird for free with PTSD… trying to tell myself, at least it is monitored by a professional. Here is some info...

Just remember to think of yourself too. Being understanding about someone else’s pain is a kind and honorable, and you are important too 😊

Thank you as well. It is a scary place to be, at least for me, alone in all this. Fear of my feelings is my biggest obstacle, mix that with vulnerability and fear of rejection … well it is a challenging place to live.

Hello Shortsocks..I am a sufferer myself and I find it very difficult to see anyone, even my child when in a bad episode. I love him over the moon, but I am not able to be with him much. We telephone. Being afraid to see others has nothing to do with them and everything to do with me. 🧚‍♂️.

Welcome to the forum s800, Trust is a very hard one. I read that you find it hard to be social. I can relate to that, when I was younger, I could’t be around people without a drink in hand. That was not the answer obviously it just made things worse, so I do not recommend it. Now a bit...

I am not sure what DID feels like, but when I read about it, I get very stressed and scared. I also have a history of feeling outside myself and it has been one of my most scary symptoms. I was wondering if one of you would be able to explain it.? I know I can read the clinical explanation...

Welcome to the forum, it helps me and I wish the same for you 🧚‍♂️

I was just prescribed Promethazine Hydrochloride as well at 10mg for helping me get to sleep. I didn’t feel it helped much, but made me feel a bit foggy. I can’t be sure that it was the tablet, because I have high anxiety about any new medication. I guess my need to be awake and ready for...

I feel you and wish I had a cure for all of us 🧚‍♂️

This is what I go through, anxiety, panic, crying like a small child then it changes to feeling depressed. I feel like I am on a rollercoaster, anxiety after falling asleep, upon waking, fear and then the pit in my stomach… I have to deal with it all day. When I am in one of my so called...

I understand, it is amazing how much a deadline, a form, or tax returns spin me out to such a level, when I am in a episode. I think of the worst case scenario, being alone on the streets with nothing and start swirling in panic and not functioning. Opening my post box used to stress me as...

Just wanted to acknowledge your post and say…good for you, writing this. I would assume that the trauma diaries were created for this but, as I am also fairly new the mods might have a better answer 😊. I like to write sometimes too, right at the moment I can’t, but when I do I will send it on...

Hi Pamela, I think to diagnose is a best guess most of the time. It isn’t just with mental struggles, but with all illness. I used to want a diagnose and treatment, but it isn’t a straightforward thing. My understanding of PTSD and its effect on my life wasn’t clear when I was diagnosed with...

Welcome to the forum 🧚‍♂️

I wish I had a magic wand for us both. I started taking the med and I feel divided. I am hoping it calms me down but we will see. The circle of anxiety and then sadness seems never ending. The fear I understand as well. I know it is hard but my new plan is one thing a day. I worked until...

I understand catch 22…it is the same for me, I was so anxious the last three days, I had to cut up an old muscle relaxer in four pieces to cope. Yesterday, I finally found a new psychiatrist and met her today. I have been looking for months, healthcare is not very good where I live and I don’t...

You are not weird Dave. We all have special effects 😊.

I also did more research today and found something else Rhodiola, but I haven’t tried it. Anybody know anything about it?

Magnesium citrate 400 mg 2x a day. I forgot I also take Omega 3 …. Both for nerve support. I have noticed an improvement to before, not always on days when very stressed. No prescription as heath insurance won’t pay anything 😊

I use magnesium to help my anxiety… I wish I had Xanax but, I also know its relief is temporary. Rescue remedy is a liquid that helps some times. Breathing, soft wave sounds on my phone are my healing today. Sending understanding 🧚‍♂️

I wish this were true, but I believe people are uncomfortable about death and don’t know what to do. Being upfront and asking for help is something I am just learning. Assumptions can be dangerous. I send my condolences and understand your situation, people always tell me how strong I am and...

Hello Trinity, sending a virtual hug 🤗. I have no big words of wisdom other than I understand regrets and I understand desperately wanting to not feel depressed. I hope that makes you feel less alone. Susan Jane 🧚‍♂️
