    How do you pull back when you feel ready to give up?

    It seems you have a lot going on and from some of the comments, it has been this way for a while. I understand that, and I have been blessed with finding a therapist per telephone that has given me invaluable support. I know how hard it is to find someone who gets it and can help. I don’t know...

    How do you pull back when you feel ready to give up?

    I find your manner, tone and words very unkind. One can also just ignore posts that stress them. 🧚‍♂️

    How do you pull back when you feel ready to give up?

    Leaving a country…save money…get a hobby 🤔. That seems a bit brutal. Maybe you are trying to help, but I think it could have been said in a more supportive way. 🧚‍♂️.

    Sufferer Need Friends and Community

    Hello Cazz, I understand. It is hard to live with the symptoms and difficult to explain them to friends. I am now in a bad episode and I have days where I cannot function and I am learning to tell people I trust. That is tricky because if you feel rejected or unheard it makes things worse. I...

    Scared to go Outside

    Hello Cazz, I am the same at the moment. The world makes me feel unsafe. I can be together with people I trust, however, it took me years to tell people the truth. I started recently, but the shame of not functioning well and needing help is hard. I isolate and can’t get out and that...

    Psychedelics / Ayahuasca for PTSD treatment

    Welcome to the forum. I haven’t tried any but am interested in Ketamine infusions. I found a doctor here who I am going to speak to soon. I am uncomfortable with psychedelics so I thought this might be the best step for me. There is a good documentary on Netflix about the topic called How...

    Sufferer Medical PTSD

    I avoid talking to medical doctors about it, unless I HAVE to. This includes my current psychiatrist, who doesn’t understand trauma. I don’t really care, the meds she prescribes me are what I need. I talk to people who understand. I went through the same things you described for 40 years and...

    Anyone actively working on processing past traumas ?

    Yes I am, with a therapist I trust and hypnoses. I remember some of the trauma anchored to my PTSD but I cannot feel them, only fear. This half conscious method with a safe place brings them up and I can finally feel them. That said he has been my therapist for 4 years, he knows my life and I...

    Sufferer Socially awkward & anxious but a lifetime of trauma pushes me to introduce myself.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry for your struggles. I can relate to it. I had to let people go in order to save myself. I understand how hard it is and the fear and guilt attached. Therapy helped me find my way out of unhealthy relationships. The effects of trauma are still a struggle. You...

    PTSD shutdown mode question.

    Me too, I cannot remember which things I did and when. My new method is not thinking about what I did yesterday, I tell myself…it is over. When I think about what I did yesterday it makes me panic and feel worse. I need hope for a way out of my episode at the moment 🧚‍♂️

    Vivid picture book memories

    😊 @Sideways. I appreciate it very much. I think somedays I am stable enough but other not. I have okay days, then really bad days and yesterday I was in bed, so maybe EMDR will have to wait. I increased my meds and added a new one. I know I need to be patient, but being on the rollercoaster...
