    Research NAC for PTSD Clinical Trial

    Canada here. And i have been taking NAC for about 6 months. I started 600mg x 3 and now reduced to 600mg x 2. The bottle says to eat with food and then i read online from psych journal to take on empty stomach.... NAC can reduce the oxidative stress in body and free up cells to repair and...

    Restoring Cognitive Function

    @berlinda thank you for saying that. I really enjoy those moments and hope to take more pics. I wonder how the glazing looks like. Does our eyes really look different like shiny marbles? I never thought of this as a signal for feeling unsafe. Been told by friends that i have a "warm up"...

    Restoring Cognitive Function

    @TruthSeeker thank you again. What you said about emotions thoughts time body being disconnected is that disociating or is it something else? I am starting to wonder if some of labels docs gave me are misdiagnosed. The reason is because i had a rehab specialist tell me my physical challenges...

    Restoring Cognitive Function

I still try to multitask because when i focus on one task i lose focus and forget what needs to be done, when i multitask things seems...

    Whats up with my sibling?

    Thanks that is another perspective with a math analogy. The work example is helpful. When mom had a tribunal hearing few years ago i had "urged and pushed" my sibby to come so that we can be there for mom. The hearing kept us outside so we just sat in benches until hearing was over. Sibling...

    Whats up with my sibling?

    Thank you for helping me get another perspective on things. I know comparing is not helpful as everybody is different and handles trauma differently. I did choose to do my best as caregiver and you are right i cannot expect my sibling to do the same.

    Better to avoid or to force triggering?

    Do not force... i tried many times and backfired putting me out of service and regression. Micro doses of exposure and debreifing with therapist helps understand situational triggers and nervous system responses. I cannot stand crowds and noise, smells, being startled, it makes me want to hit...
