    Memories in third-person view

    Yes, I do feel disconnected. It's like it is me but it's not. Almost like watching a movie in which the person happens to look like me. I also tend not to have emotions with the memories. They seem to be separate as well. This goes for traumatic and non-traumatic memories.

    Memories in third-person view

    I do write stuff in third person sometimes but not really on purpose. I mean, I am writing but not think about writing in third person, it kind of just happens.

    Memories in third-person view

    Interesting. Personally, I was wondering if it has to do with dissociation i.e. depersonalization.

    Memories in third-person view

    I was wondering if anybody else experience this. Almost all my memories are in third-person view, like I'm watching someone else. This pertains to recent and distant memories as well as traumatic and non-traumatic memories.

    Napping

    It depends anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes. I know the whole standard "no sleeping during the day" sleep hygiene rule. However if I don't sleep enough I get dysregulated. So basically I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    CBD for PTSD - Your thoughts if you’ve tried it?

    I am taking pure cbd and find it helps me relax. I was pretty sceptical at first but it helps without the usual side effects of the usual medications.

    Napping

    I was wondering if anybody else has the same problem. If I don't nap during the day, my anxiety levels tend to go up at night. With that I have to say that I tend to sleep better when there's daylight as night i

    Total Loss of Safety - Therapist Terminated Therapy

    In her text she said we would talk about the alternatives as far as further treatment goes and what the alternatives are. In the phone call that ensued her text, because I did reply and she could see things were getting out of hand, she said we would talk about everything. But in the E-Mail that...

    Total Loss of Safety - Therapist Terminated Therapy

    The plan is to wait until after her vacation (until September 8th)and hopefully she will actually give me an appointment. But that's still such a long time. I tried putting the whole thing in my vault but it just won't stay put.

    Total Loss of Safety - Therapist Terminated Therapy

    Thanks for all the replies. I actually think my main problem with the whole situation is that things don't quite add up. This is just so unlike her.
