    So I found out today my SSDI has been approved on my initial application. I am happy, but feel so bad about it. I feel like a total waste. This can't be my life.

    Emdr

    What if what I was told is correct? What if I can't keep a container or door closed? What if I really go insane!? I know there are always people that have had it worse than me.

I have never been told I have panic disorder but over the years got mood disorder, PTSD, chronic PTSD, ADD, anxiety and maybe a slight bi-polar.

    So I took the first step and applied for SSDI. I'm scared but proud that I finally pushed myself to do it. I don't know what they will say. I have 15 years of medical records dating back from when I was under 18. Do they even look at files from when you were under 18? The only thing I am...

    T wants me to try emdr

    I did the first step and went back to T after years of trying to self manage. I have never heard of EMDR, but the more I see I am scared. I have learned to bury my memories so deep that I am numb. I can easily say I was abused as a child with no emotion or that my life feels like hell. I am...
