I know I've been depressed at times, with both depressed feelings and depressed thinking. I remember one time almost being catatonic, I lay on the bed staring at a wall for what must have been 2 hours, it wasn't even like anything was wrong though, it honestly felt like I'd just run out of...

Interesting way of thinking about it, I agree it's like a physical injury, if not worse. I hear you. She's going through the psychoeducation with me to some degree. I can't hold her responsible if she doesn't understand.. I can't say if I would get it if I was in her shoes. My fingers are...

Agreed, this is particularly important if you have been the adrenalised type in the past. The correct amount of Vitamin C can help with repair.

I'm sorry to hear this, I empathise with you. How long has it been this bad? I'm no therapist but it sound like your depressed. I know that sounds obvious but what I mean by that is it sounds like your stuck in a depressive episode. It sounds like for some reason you're freezing and your body is...

Whilst our circumstances are different I'm in a similar position now. The biggest reality check I've had is that the psychoeducation from therapy (learning what you do and why because of your PTSD) doesn't necessarily translate into results or actions, not immediately anyway. I have been for...

Hi all, I'm curious as to the prevalence of those here to vacillate in and out of depression. I was diagnosed with PTSD around 3 months ago, have had about 7 therapy sessions since. I'm predominantly a Flight type person, am highly functional and have sustained myself by remaining adrenalised...

Interesting how someone can switch between the other 4 F types once they temper their dominant one, I'd never really thought about that but it makes sense.

Amazing the lengths one will go to and how ridiculously pervasive it is that the driver of this is more or less subconscious. I'm glad you finally saw it.

I think this will be a book I read forever, continuously over and over. I simply can't believe how it explains some of my behaviors, I feel like in a way it has saved my life.Implementation however is key and the most difficult facet. Interesting about what you say re: teaching English. I know...

From Pete Walkers website... The Flight Type and the Obsessive-Compulsive Defense Flight types appear as if their starter button is stuck in the "on" position. They are obsessively and compulsively driven by the unconscious belief that perfection will make them safe and loveable. As children...

If I understand you correctly an attraction to the 5th world may be to support being hypervigilant. That is, what better place to be if your hypervigilant, you'd fit in and feel at home, every part if you would feel tuned in. From my experiences, Flight type people seek adrenalized environments...

Is it possible that wanting to work in such an environment is to do with wanting to stay adrenalized? I know for years I have been fascinated (and thus worked in) heavily complex industrious , almost macabre and significant industries like refineries and processing plants were the risks are...
