Oh well haha it was still useful and apt to me. So it is no bother.

That makes sense. I think you are onto something with the breaking it down into a category like emotion etc. Thank you

Well that is an easy no. Over here you can walk into hospital emergency departments and say you fear you might attempt it i would say that is a better option they have to take it seriously.

All the best to you too.

Thats me too.

Hi. Welcome to the forum. I would be very interested in hearing about your experience with emdr so far if you would be able/willing to share. Am starting emdr tomorrow.

Exactly @missy meier apprently there is a difference but l am yet to spot it.

I find my self very confused these days with whether i am avoiding or distracting. Thoughts start popping into mind so i try to do something to distract myself then i wonder if i should in fact be facing them and maybe was avoiding not distracting. Same the other way round i think i am...

I seems we are all experts at hiding out symptoms. It is worth remembering that all these people we look at and think are going about their day in a "normal" way could also being hiding behind a mask too.

Everyone is looking to me to ne strong and to fight but im just surviving

welcome. lots of support here so hopefully you can get all the information you need.

Hi. Was glad to here positive results about emdr as I am starting it on monday so thank you for that and welcome.

echoing @Coffee and adding yes really hard you are not in it alone though although it feels like it right? take care and trust that this feeling will pass.

i would say you need to put it in. it has to be nice and dried out for the big day. lol I started my xmas shopping months ago and go the first 2 boxes of chocolates in yesterday. I am hoping that I recall I got the presents and that the chocolates see the month out.

@Snowflake there is your answer really. you want to cancel because you are all of those things and those are also the exact reasons why you shouldn't cancel. You do not need to be embarrassed btw but I get why you would. Is there anyone that can take you there to support you at all? I know...

Hi and welcome. Your English is perfectly fine. Sometimes you just have to do what your body tells you if you are tired and have sleep problems then sleep while it will come.

@EveHarrington I can see completely why you would hate it and feel that way myself. Having read through the comments I do agree with the suggestions of it being depression and anxiety linked however there could be deeper issues at play. As a child I was the black sheep from day go. I never...

You are certainly not alone. In the process of an exhusting clump of flashbacks and yes it affects everything around me. It is hard, exhusting and heartbreaking. I am sorry you suffer the same. It is good that you are in counselling have you considered having your husband join a few sessions so...

It is normal. I have plenty of flashbacks like you have just noted. I tend to find that it leads to a trickle of flashbacks to my actual traumas. Think it is really a sign of some unresolved issues about the event. Take it easy

I think that people find it so hard to comprehend that they devalue it. I get annoyed when people put themselves close to a situation like "there was a girl at my school that xyz happen to" or "a man 5 streets away" like it gives them full understanding and much of these discussions revolve...

That is dreadful. Can you put in a complaint heaven forbid they ever encounter issues. Sound like the type of people that think this stuff is all theory and doesnt actually happen that often. More importantly though how r u feeling?

sounds like a room full if people thinking that they can rescue the world. It must have been awful to sit through it.

A tough one. I have had the opposite problem with 2 therapists now where they disclose so much that I then feel I cannot talk to them. I am sure that there is a happy medium. really the therapist may not be the match for you and time to move to a new one who can give you that balance.

thank you all for the responses. no i dont have any passions, or hobbies that i could use. I do have hobbies but even they do not give me a sense of fulfilment or purpose. I will have a go at the lottery list suggestion see if that turns anything up will be fun to do in anycase.

I would love to have my own business but I wouldnt know what business. I feel so stuck and frustrated like I have all this motivation and drive but no direction. It frustrates me so much as I have supported so many people to follow their dream or use their talents but I dont have a dream or...
