Iam, my T told me that she was not a crisis councelor too! The impression I got from it was that she wanted to be there for me more than she was proffessionally alowed. She realises I dont have support outside her office and is always telling me to email her when I need to and she will reply...

Has anyone had a flashback where they got stuck? I had a session of EMDR and I got stuck in the memory, it took me ages to get back to normal and even then I couldnt get any words out. My T was really worried, think she thought she broke me. She took me to my friend and left me, it was awful...

Hi h2o. I guess drugs effect everyone differentely. When I was on this I felt a little better but a bit spaced out. It wasnt until I came off it that everyone commented on me being like a zombie and looking really withdrawn when I was on them. But that was just not the one for me. I hope...

PainX2, im in a similar kinda situation. I know what you mean by the thought of being hospitalized being depressing by itself! I hope you get through things and find whats best for you. Hugs Changed x

Thank you both, you just made me smile. Thats some really good advice Iam, I know exactly what you mean, and yes I feel about 90! Hugs back!! Bern Ellen. It is encouraging to know u were at this point and got through it! I think im at a point that being hospitalized wouldnt be such a bad...

I feel like that all the time! I thought I always had but when I was clearing out some stuff I came across stuff I did at school when I was a child, it was about 'when im 21 I will be.... when im 40 I will be...' and so on. When I found it I laughed at the answers I put, but remembered at the...

This is something that concerns me too. It worries me that if I go in I will lose everything that gives me a chance of getting back to where I used to be. Sorry I dont have the answer to your question. I know here in the UK there are lots of benefits for different things- I just dont know if...

I know the feelings pass and some days are better, but it always comes back. I think my problem is for some stupid reason I am not allowing myself to get better. I dont want this to be the case, and even as im typing this im thinking 'no I do want to' but the reality is that deep down I just...

Kris! That is totally how I feel about it. I too dont have support around me, and explaining why im hospitalised to people who dont understand and think that all people who go in are crazy nutcasses would just be impossible. Thanks for your honesty, Its comforting having someone who has...

I would have occassionally before my trauma, maybe 2 a day at the very most, some weeks none. Now i smoke 20+

Jen, thankyou for your post. I am sorry I touched on something that is such a personal issue to you, I hope I didnt upset you. I was a little too honest and it was insensitive of me to post all that. I felt a little better just for putting it out there though as its not something thats easy...

Thanks for your posts. I guess the reason it keeps coming up for me is that when I am struggling with things like numbers, spelling and concentration I know it is things I managed before. I never raised that with the assessors at the time as I just thought that I must have had it all along...

Hi, Does anyone have experience with dyslexia? I was diagnosed with it about a year ago- a year after my crash. At the time I didnt link the two and it was before I knew I had PTSD. Is it possible that its not dyslexia and a memory problem linked to the PTSD?? It maybe seems random...

I finally made my psychologist aware of some of my thoughts and she asked if I had put anything into place. I said 'no' as at the time I had not. I had to see a psychiatrist with her, he assumed I had made no plans, I didnt lie- I just didnt correct him. I told my psychologist after that I...

Mirtazapine?? This is what I have been prescribed. I am really unsure about it! I have searched the net about this med and everyone says it makes you really sleepy! [FONT=Tahoma]Sleep is a big problem for me as I sleep a lot! I was always a sleepy person but im on Gabapentin for pain relief...

Hi Christine, Welcome to the forum. Im new here too. I can relate to what you are going through with your family, I have a similar situation but with my mother. I always knew we had issues with each other but it was not until i started therapy that i realised how bad my issues related to...

Thanks everyone for your support. Shaney- Yes I made my doctor aware I stopped taking the meds, when I finally got my psychologist I told her I was on them before hand and she said the type of med I was given was not great for ptsd anyway. The first med has made me cautious though and its...

Hi everyone, Wow its amazing how many people suffer from this. I thought I was on my own and nobody understood but reading some posts has made me realise I'm not. To cut a long story short, I was in a serious accident 2 and a half years ago and was pretty close to death, I broke my neck and...
