This is me

Dissociation sucks so much. I've seen that some people enjoy it. But I don't understand why or how? I hate it and it scares the **** out of me! I can't tell you how to cure it. But I can tell you that you are not alone. When it happens to me, I watch my breathing and put my attention somewhere...

Does anyone deal with this? Or do you avoid certain places or doing certain things? For me, when I'm dealing with anxiety, I avoid driving. And today, I don't even want to leave my house :(

I'm excited. I feel like they really want to help me and instead of just putting me on meds, they want to find the underlying cause. And one of the therapists there has done a lot of training with ptsd.

I just recently started. I've been 3 times so far. But this is the first therapist to diagnose me with ptsd. It's always just been anxiety.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that about your back :( is there anyway to fix it? My dad has a lot of back problems so I know how hard it can be! I just have so much guilt that I can't take her to school or pick her up. I've always done it, until today. But I'm thankful that I have someone to help...

I'm trying to stay positive. This site has been so helpful. I just found it yesterday and I already love it! I've been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks and dissociation for about 10 years. I got help and lived a normal life for 7 years. My meds quit and it all came back. My dr changed up...

I'm on cymbalta. I've been on it for about 3 years. I was a little shaky in the beginning but it did go away. And if I wait too long to eat when I take it, I get shaky. But it sounds like overall, it's helping you. I'm so glad to hear that!

Thank you for the kind words! And I'm sorry you are going through this too. I just want to be the best mom. And right now, I feel like I'm letting her down. But She knows that I don't feel good right now. I just hate it. I hate laying in bed feeling hopeless. All I want to do is sleep until all...

I wanted to open up and tell my story. 6 years old: I was molested by my uncle 9 years old: I was sexually assaulted by my brothers friend 11 years old: the boy across the street made me do things to him 11 years old: a boy down the road sexually assaulted me 13 years old: one of my guy friends...

I went to bed last night feeling pretty good. I was positive and hopeful. But this morning was not the best. My 6 yr old daughter started 1st grade Monday. I took her to and from school fine that day. Yesterday, my husband was here. So we both took her. But this morning, I had my uncle pick her...

Wow you have been through so much :( I'm sorry that all of that happened. But you are very brave to share your story! You are not alone. This website is very helpful and the people on here are so nice!

I use to be more positive too. I've always worried but not this much and this bad. I always think the worst! I have been trying to redirect it. But sometimes my mind is just going so crazy that I can't stop it. Thanks! I will def check it out :)

My therapist told me to try meditation. But I just cant get my mind to slow down. But it's definitely something I would like to do. I've heard it helps so much.

It's horrible! I haven't ate in 2 days. I feel shaky and anxious. I feel a tiny bit better today. But far from great :(

That's really good advice. Anytime I'm feeling off, I cuddle with my blanket. It makes me feel protected :)

@Whispering_Truth Haha! This made my night :)

My therapist recently told me that I worry too much and have catastrophic thinking. Which I do. I'm constantly worrying about any and everything. And I always fear the worst! I know I shouldn't but it's hard. Anyone else do this? Or have suggestions for changing ways of thinking??

Depersonalization is the worst for me. Its so scary to feel like I'm dreaming and nothing is real. I feel alone and numb. I know it's harmless but every time is just as scary. It's starts with depersonalization, then that cause a panic attack, which leaves me feeling hopeless and depressed.

I just found this site today. And already it has helped me out. Before today, I felt alone in this. But now I know that I'm not. I have

Ketchup

Ew that sounds gross!

Wow...I eat all of those on the 'avoid' list. That could be part of my problem:confused:

PTSD GAD Panic disorder Dissociative disorder And when my anxiety is bad, I have depression.

I feel the same way. I use to drink years ago and never had a problem. But now, I feel so off the next day!
