    Therapist says I’m unlikely to have a repressed memory come up with EMDR and I don’t know whether I should be relieved, disappointed, or frustrated…

    I am very careful in regards to accepting memories as being real so I always look at the details and try to verify them. Below are a few. I remember leaving on a trip across country to a convention my faith’s company was exhibiting products at. I went and found a history of the organization...

    Divorce Incoming.

    Good to hear. I’m going through the same thing. In many ways life is better but it is still painful that it happened.

    Sometimes it doesn’t pay…

    Little annoyances can really throw us off. What I do, which may or may not work for you, is to pay attention to what is going on inside of me. Am I getting over stimulated. Are too many people talking at me at once? I take some deep breaths and do a reality check. Am I over reacting ( usually)...

    Problem today

    I am sorry to hear that. Maybe talking to a marriage counselor would help. I know what a struggle it is with a non supportive spouse, I had one. Mine seemed to have a vested interest in me not improving. Once we separated I got into therapy. It has been a hard road but I have made progress...

    Problem today

    It is hard for us to find balance. I have the same problem not saying no and I am not used to saying no yet. If I was married I would try to talk to my spouse about it. If they know what you are trying to do they can be supportive of it.

    I have done a few emdr sessions and I found them helpful. I did not have any memories come back during the sessions but afterwards some things came back. I am going to be doing more in the near future.

    I’ tired but not as tired as yesterday. I just finished 2 days of psychological testing. Specifically they were looking for PTSD, CPTSD, covert narcissistic abuse and autism. I t feels like all were confirmed by the questions I was asked and my answers. I have to wait several weeks for the...

    Possible autism diagnosis with other mental health disorders.

    How did it go? I have my evaluation this week and I am curious how it will go. I have a ton of stuff going on too. Specifically we are confirming PTSD and CPTSD, long term covert narcissistic abuse (my therapist pointed this out and I had never considered it) and autism. Autism was pointed...

    Sleep hygiene tips - the smallest things that help?

    I have had to take sleep meds for 30 years. A couple months ago I was able to stop and I am sleeping better than ever. I think my nervous system is finally starting to calm. I have been off sleep meds for 2 months now. If I can’t sleep I focus on my breathing. By doing this I don’t seek out...

    Going to lose everything, am panicked and want to end it but don't want to abandon best friend or family

    At times when it all seems too much I go to extreme thinking. Words like never usually tip me off and I have to do a reality check on my thinking. Another thing I have to remind myself of is that every major upheaval in my life has lead to a new and better life that I could not imagine before...
