Made a lot of progress today. I got my husband to take me in. My therapist and psychiatrist work under the same mental health group practice, but in different buildings. We went to my psychiatrists office. Got to speak with a very kind psych nurse who listened to everything. My husband was...
I have not heard her argue against the existence against chemical imbalance, only her saying the same information you will find on this site. PTSD is not caused by a chemical imbalance but that trauma changes the brain. Since her channel is primarily focused on trauma in childhood she talks...
Thank you @Friday.
@blackemerald1 under the therapy and treatments thread I posted how my therapist treated me. I pretty much begged my husband to take me to the crisis center today and he won't tommorow either because he is choosing to work on his day off because <insert long winded hurtful...
I am struggling so damn bad with this and no one to talk to about it. Hospital refuses to admit since truly don't want to make another suicide attempt cause I am afraid I will botch it again and left feeling even more humiliated because it was "manipulative" Pretty damn sure my psych is giving...
I found a YouTube channel called the crappy childhood fairy and she has a lot of videos on how to deal with dysregulation that I have found very helpful. I don't agree with everything she says but a lot of it I do.
It has to be scary for you, but the medical system is a business not a place to go get cured. Trust a woman's intuition. Most wives are better intune with their spouses health than their spouse
I couldn't follow through with the phone call part emotionally, even though I was convinced He would openly admit it. You can take it as far as you want and get to the trial part and if you decide it is too much, you can tell them you can't take it any farther for your emotional health. So...
Thank you Ronin, I just feel so confused, like I am missing something. She did say she wasn't going to see me again until my TBI issues were sorted out. The accident took place in September. it practically march now, not expecting a miraculous over night healing so that gives me time to...
Yesterday was my birthday. I had been anxious to discuss the murder I witnessed a few days before the anniversary of my moms suicide and my suicide attempt on her anniversary having gone 5 days no sleep and my husband telling me he didn't know if he loved me anymore.
She told me my attempt...
Normal. Don't let your disturbing thoughts make you feel like there is something wrong with you. I was once ashamed of some of the things you mention, but it's very common for survivors.
Or maybe I just have bad luck. Not long after being in a car crash where both the seatbelt failed and airbag deflated I took out a windshield with my head. I am lucky to have no memory of the event, but I am still don't feel myself.
Well, what really brought me back was witnessing a...
Plain and simple, I have had times of major healing, but then life sets me back. I have dealt with several new traumas since I have been here. One of the reasons I am back. I made a lot of progress, the trial under fire kind. But PTSD causing incidents seem to follow me like the plaugue.
@Junebug the hypermobile joints was a reply to @jacat.
Yes I sleep with my arm above my head, but I sleep almost completely face down with my upper body turned one way or another.
The SPD symptoms are what I know realize I had as a kid and that the SPD was a manifestation of anxiety. That...
Yes, I have this. I have found the biggest factor to be sleep. I have determined that 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep is the best was to manage it. * Big heavy sigh* insomnia. The bane of my existence.
@jaccat I also have mild ehlos dancers syndrom ( give up, I hate typing on a phone) but...
Another ally here. Forget the bell curve, I see gender more like this. Take a ball it 2 ruberbands around it so that they intersect at the top bottom and sides forming a cross. The places where the rubber bands meet is sociatal definitions on gender but a person's true gender can fall anywhere...
That is interesting to me Muttly. I have met someone else like that before and felt very confused when they were trying to describe a dress they wanted.
Despise it, but no one really knows me by that name anymore. I guess it
Is better than the name my mom wanted to give me, but when your on mom teased you viciously over your name.
He is pretty knowledgeable about trauma, he knows about the effects of the abuse from her dad has had on me, but I had years to work on things before we got together, I don't think he is taking everything thing into account. There is still a lot of trauma she refuses to talk about.
I do feel...
