It sounds in a way like a manic reaction. I had this reaction to an SSRI and I felt extremely calm, yet extremely disassociated and so under the calm and lack of affect, I felt terror and confusion. If the meds are out of your body you should feel better soon. Can you look up the meds you think...

The needles arent like western doctor office needles, but there are other therapy modalities that dont involve needles.

So acupunture can work for sleep, but you have to target it specifically in a treatment. Its ok if you dont fall asleep with the needles. I use mag glycinate (pure encapsulations) to relax my muscles. I was hit pretty hard with benzo withdraw and I get symptoms like muscle discomfort and this is...

Yes, its really effective.

Yep. This happened to me. I took lexapro for 5 mos for post partum depression. This is what happened: Extreme intrusive thoughts Hallucinations Constant, constant, extreme suicidal thoughts. Suicidal thoughts even while actually feeling content. It was weird. I never heard voices, but have heard...

Ok, so I have struggled with insomnia for about 5 years now due to reactions to the drugs meant to treat insomnia! Yes I know what that too sensitive feeling feels like. Here is my advice: 1. Problem solve. You gotta get some good sleep hygiene. I sleep alone. My snoring husband sleeps down...

My current T seems or feels like a trauma extractor. It feels like she gets inside of me and works from the inside out. I will project maternal issues onto her in a therapy context. She always has this look of approval or even love in her eyes, but it is like a validating love. Outside of this...

So I can get pretty graphic, detailed, and honest. I pay for that though. I don't know if it brings any immediate benefits though. I struggle with going too much into trauma and obsessing with trauma. I am very self aware and use skills to manage it when I am descriptive. I am just a descriptive...

I agree. We need to nationalize a safety protocol for schools. We dont really get the training we need because of funding and fear.we dont want to talk about it. I am amazed that there is never a conversation about what to do in an assembly or if yours is the first classroom a shooter enters...

No, nope. No active shooter training. I am from a state that has had other really bad shootings, not sure why we don't. I think I am going to say something, but why do they not know already? There is no protocol for a lock down or a response during lunch in the lunch room, an assembly, school...

Yes, that does help. The problem is that with other triggers there is a measure of safety. So like I can say, "That happened in the past." But where as with this I cannot find the safety. The only thing that helps is that I know that is still rare, but it doesn't seem like it. We don't get...

Hi every body, So I am freaking out because of the school shooting. I also was already in a heightened anxiety state due to not sleeping due to a virus and work stress. So, I am a teacher and I am struggling with not feeling safe. I also made the mistake of watching a video taken by a kid...

So I think I am going to get one too. I think I am going to get this one. The reviews were good, accept for the one who said the pellets were falling out.

Does it get hot? Sorry if that was already asked. I think I will get one in a couple of days. Is it helping with sleep?

How did you figure out which weight to choose?

Cranial sacral works with the cerebal fluid and releases things out of the nervous system. So, it could be releasing symptoms. After I do it, I get memories that come to the surface.

What kind did you order?

Thank you for this. These are good points. Thanks for your help. I am always forgetting to breathe.

Yes, I hope you are right. I need to try to explain it I guess. I my mother enmeshed me into her. She saw me as an extension of herself. So it is hard to process my mother's abusiveness because I feel so trapped within my mother. So, I think there is a chance that I am nothing like my mother...

I think both happened. She believed me AND pigeon holed me. I said a few of my behaviors can be called emotionally abusive. Like I will sometimes guilt trip and criticize my husband as a learned behavior. But this is not enough or severe enough to cause him to fear me. He has even said this...

Yes, I agree. I am going to let my husband read this. I really do need that. And that makes sense rather than abandoning therapy, but I dont know if that will annoy her.

Yes, I agree. I want to look into how we both contribute to the dynamic. But she was leaning heavily on me being the cause of the lies. And that I should "be compassionate and understanding of how I cause him to feel desperate." It is not desperation, it wasn't due to abuse. I don"t want to...

I agree with this. I feel as though she was turning my husband into a victim. "He lies because he is afraid of you." This is not the case at all. It is completely false. And it is not a misunderstanding that you can just laugh off. "Oh, I thought you were a dog person. My bad." And then continue...

You are all so helpful! She has some experience in trauma. She has worked with sexual abuse and domestic violence. But thats the problem. She thought I was the abuser. She atleast recognized the misunderstanding and apologized for it, so that matters. But I dont know how to get over it. I am...

Well, she did apologize, but its hard for me to trust that it wont happen again. She did it because of patterns shes seen in her other patients. She said to me, "I typically see one spouse cheating and lying out of fear of their partner. So, try to have compassion for him." This made me angry. I...
