What about going for a walk or really any form of physicalactivity? Some people have also benefitted from Lexapro and similar meds, so when you are able to see a physician, maybe you can talk aboUT that med or a similar one.

I need to somehow get my anxiety under control.

Also sending you hugs. I was in chat with you last night when that happened. I also felt that you were the one who was penalized in chat last night, which in my opinion, was very wrong. That situation was poorly handled, in my opinion. But I'm new here and don't know the rules of chat, so I...

I didn't vote, but as a brand new member, I can honestly say that I have found the welcoming messages on my profile to be quite nice and not at all over the top. So, thank you.

I'm not strong enough for chat right now either. I was in there last night, and it was completely overwhelming to me, but I'm dealing with a lot right now.

Saelben, my current therapist is amazing, and I'm fortunate to have her! If she was trained in EMDR, I wouldn't even be questioning doing it. In addition to PTSD, I also have an anxiety disorder, so the thought of starting with a new therapist is a bit daunting to me. But, I'm at least...

Thank you! I posted in the therapy section and have gotten some good information so far. :)

I'm sorry you were in such a distressed state. I'm sure that was scary for you! A similar situation happened to me during a session. I did stay until I settled down and my therapist stayed with me. My suggestion would be to tell your therapist today that if you get that way again, she...

Thank you for sharing that. It was very helpful to me!

I had a similar situation several months ago with my T. She suggested that EMDR therapy would most likely help me, but she isn't trained in that type of therapy. I have serious abandonmentissues, which she knows about, so my first response to her was, "How could you even suggest that? " It...

I'm new to the forums. Thank you to those of you who have responded to my introductory post. I have many questions, so I hope you will bear with me. I'm currently seeing a therapist who is not trained in EMDR therapy. I was diagnosed with PTSD several years ago due to childhood abuse and...

I, too, agree with Scout, especially about the part about talking about your suicidal ideation and thoughts of self harm. I re early discussed those two issues with my therapist, and I'm still here. Try talking about your feeling of wanting to run. My guess is if you are able to do that...

Thanks for your reply, Patience1. It helps me to know that having 2 therapists was helpful to you. Initially, i was concerned that it would be too overwhelming for me, but I'm starting to see that it could be very beneficial.

Hello and welcome. I'm new here too. I was diagnosed with PTSD several years ago but only now am I getting help for it.

Hello and welcome. I'm sorry for your horrible experiences. I'm new here too. Maybe we can support each other.

Hello. I'm new here but not new to forums. I am currently seeing a therapist for anxiety issues. I've been seeing her for almost two years, and she truly is wonderful! She has taught me a lot of coping tools, and is extremely supportive. Recently she suggested that I could benefit from...
