Oh yeah I get that often, also feel like I can swallow or there's a huge obstruction in my chest, don't know if you get that too? Very common from what I understand but awful too

I've often thought the same thing about how my throat feels, there's something there I'd swear to it, but all the evidence says there isn't, so although all the professionals tell me one thing, I still don't believe them. I guess that's just the nature of the problem. Anxiety can cause so much...

I know how it is, for the last few years I've been convinced I'm on my way out. I've struggled with anxiety and depression all my life, the last few years it's been especially bad, trauma too plays a big part in told. For me it's a constant lump in the throat feeling that despite being told is...

No you don't have to talk about anything, but if your not willing to engage in therapy, really your just wasting your and the therapists time. It's a harsh reality I'm afraid, and I say this because we have all been there. Anyone in therapy finds it hard to talk about the hard stuff, if it...

absolutely i can understand this, im the very same - if i try to chill out, unwind or relax - things just go haywire in my head, everything becomes too much. I tried mindfulness- as its the current craze among drs and therapists, it was a disaster, i ended up feeling very claustraphobic. I...

sorry not following the question, and it doesnt seem to match the post title?

If you dont like the idea of therapy, why is it you feel aggrieved that you cant get it? Unfortunately in the UK the waiting lists can be long yeah, thats sadly just how it is. And your right, the only way to get it is if you demonstrate that you need it, thats how it should be. The only way...

i had a scope up the nose and down the throat 3 times, in the ENT drs office, all was fine they said - some inflammation which suggested reflux, but all the usual oemprazole type meds did absolutly nothing to help unfortunatly

i cant say i have a sore throat really, sometimes a bit tender. what ive found though that when i wake in the morning, one nostril is totally blocked - like completly. Ive started using pepper to get things flowing, when i do this - the lump totally dissapears for a while. So im sure it is...

J I guess every therapist is different, especially in different countries. For me I find it unsettling when I hear if therapists acting like friends, it suggests they are too close and I find that quite unprofessional. It's better to have someone who is a bit detached, then they can be...

goto the police? why would you think you could do that? you had an experience you wished you hadnt taken part in - but you did it willingly, there was zero force or coercian - at least not from your post. You would tarnish someone and blame them for their part in an event you both took part in...

yes, regardless of anything else, shes a cheat - get her out of her life.

thanks for the reply. well while at the ent i had the scope up the nose and down the throat, just in his office so i dont think it was a full endoscopy. I had that 3 times and each time it was totally clear, a little redness and silent reflux was mentioned and i was told i had GERD - all the...

Hi all Ive had problems with ptsd/anxiety for many years, id say over the last few i definaltley feel the physical symptoms more than i ever did. The worst is a constant feeling of a lump in the throat, ive been checked out and everything is fine medically, its so hard to accept its just...

theres a difference between addiction and reliance. Many people become reliant on meds, especially meds for depression/anxiety. People stop trying to actually resolve the issues and sit on meds which at best are masking issues. That of course isnt the case with everyone, but it is very...

With the absence of any specific memory, then no it probably doesn't mean what you imagine it might. The danger with feelings is trying to find memories to justify them, that's not good for anyone. General free floating anxiety can make anyone feel uncomfortable with people close to us, it can...

Poor behaviour and even harrasment is just that, not at all the same as abuse

Yes I've had this, quite often which has made me think it's something more than PTSD, I've spoken about it to my therapists and psych and they've never made an issue of it, so it appears to be quite expected

like others have said, not related to ptsd i wouldnt think - these sadly are the dangers of illegal drug use- this is exactly why people say dont do it. if you think it has left you with issues, its really something only a dr can get to the bottom of - its too wide ranging to be able to have...

i did say "often" - i know not all CBT is the same, but the CBT which is given first on the NHS is certainly not the best. 50 hrs you say - sorry but if im expected to work through painful subjects, i want my professional to have more experience than that, i expect them to be expert - 50hrs...

I've never found CBT to be anything other than utterly pointless. I'm sure it works for some, but for me I always refuse to waste my time with it, I prefer proper psycotherapy carried out by a professional, CBT is often delivered by someone who's done a course for a few weeks and is then...

i think your previous history is probably more of the issue than what happened with the boy latterly to be honest. If you didnt communicate how you felt, then he couldnt know - he cant read minds. You have to have given him the opportunity to back off. Regret is fine, we all live with regret...

for me your experiences dont sound abusive - bad choices yes, and maybe as others have said there is earlier experiences leading to that - but the events themselves i dont think can be called abuse. Simply because you regret certain things, and wished things had been different. Its an...

Ive suffered from ED problems for the last 20 years, they started when i had my first breakdown at 16, food just became something frightening. Over the years ive dealt with it in different ways, i dont think it ever really goes away, but it can be managed. It comes back worse for me when...

to be honest im not a great believer in the whole diet affects mental wellbeing, i think its a bit of a fad. While eating and being healthy will of course make most people feel better about themselves, and make them feel more well - which in turn can then make milder mental health issues less...
