You say you can't make yourself believe, which means you are trying to believe, which says to me that just at least a very small part of you does believe. That is enough for now. I have faith that once you're feeling better and you are doing well at work your confidence will be restored and...

@EveHarrington while I think it is safe to say that the OP doesn't have court caused PTSD and doesn't have "ALL the symptoms" despite the fact it was clearly emotionaly distressing; I don't think it is safe to assume they aren't sober.

Agreed^. How did you respond to that question? They clearly don't think you are dumb if everyone is saying you were doing great at first, but they do see that something is wrong.

I actually had zero ways to call or get help for the worst of it. My phone was and still is disconnected because I am behind on bills due to the accident. Can still call 911 and I have wifi for internet access on my phone. When my husband was at work during the the most dangerous part was...

Either was the biggest idiot in the world to not know that sex 3 days after you give birth put your life at risk and was beyond cruel, or he just didn't care back then. While technically not rape because you didn't resist, I can easily have felt like rape. My guess is that your brain is...

I completely understand what you are going through. I could have written this word for word myself. The increasing fear that came with knowing that no one would help help me no matter how hard and loud that I screamed that I was feeling suicidal, was the icing on the cake that lead to my...

I am glad to see that you have made progress with this. I am reading this thread for the first time and was thinking on page one that it was bad timing like others said. Was pleasently surprised to see such a change on the second page. @Friday, You do a great job appealing to other peoples...

So frustrating. This seems to me to be the therapists lazy way out. Figure out how to pacify, it's less work for them. First appointment? Kinda makes sense. 2rd, 4th and beyond? Not so much.

@Friday those things are awesome. I have trigger issues with showers. My blood pressure also naturally runs low, and hot showers and baths cause your blood vessels to dialate lowering it even more to the point I get very light headed sometimes and barely make it out and onto my bed.

Ok boy, where do I begin? So not only no new therapist. Since it the same company, no Dr. now either. Been in cold turkey Benzo withdrawal since I posted this. I have been under what my what a woman at the addiction treatment center called straight out abuse. Yes, I went there desperate to...

They put me under for a colonoscopy because of the PTSD. Maybe they would be willing to put you under for the endoscopy?

Using the wrong words can cause alot of problems. It took me years to figure out I was using disoriented wrong. I always thought it was a synonym for dizziness or motion sickness.

When I am struggling you can forget about me checking messages. On a good day I wish I lived in a country where it was considered rude to show up at someone's door unannounced. On a bad day someone at my door can send me into panic and freeze mode. It isn't personal against anyone. I don't...

Massivly. Then again there are childhood issues regarding even the most basic and common illnesses. It is a miracle I survived my grandmothers general stupidity and willfull ignorance who was stuck in the 1940's when it came to medicine with a few strange beliefs. It's more emotional stuff...

I don't blame you for feeling confused. There are so many varients of English. Amongst English speaking countries we all have unique words and phrases that can be difficult to translate from English, into English. British English and American English have plenty of words that mean one thing...

Not losing your mind at all. There are many types of flashbacks. @Friday summed it up well, only I think in words, but remember in images, emotions and sometimes on their own smells.

Well the NP I saw said its just anxiety. No labs were done, so I don't know. I think its getting better.

I think it is very possible and sorry you are going through that. Multiple concussions? how awful. Ashgwanda root is supposed to help. I have never been able to get an endocrinologist to be willing to test me. I have however been researching symptoms and the positive feedback loop has to...

Makes a lot of sense and not tmi. Transportation to medical treatment is hard to come by but on last check liver kidney pancreas function was ok. No GP until may because I am a new patient. I have moved around a lot lately. I don't have the rock feeling, minor bloating. I actually can't tell...

Freeze response actually makes the most sense. To freaked out too function

That was really the only real question, so thank you.

I know fight and flight can shut down certain systems to conserve energy from more imideate need survival systems, but can it literally shut down your digestive track for days? After an extended period of being highly symptomatic, I would rate it a 12 out of 10, once I got the symptoms...

I am a bit late to this conversation but in the lovely state of Utah, conversion therapy is done all the time against the wills of minors and many times against the will of the parents. Utah has a law that allows for conversion therapy to be done on inpatient minors against the will of both...

In my experiance thuis ons of the most difficult ages to losse a parent. I have a lot to say on this but have sleep meds kicking in. Hang in there.

I don't know when I will find out, but I'll be in close communication with them over the few weeks as labwork, genesight testing, sleep study and MRI are done and results come in. So massive flip. Strange so strange
