For my part I found that my headaches (and neckaches) are linked to anxiety too, and more specifically when I have some kind of mind conflict. For example, if I know that I must write a letter that might upset someone but I don't want to hurt that person, it makes a conflict in me that will...

Maybe www.7cupsoftea.com would work too... Have to try.

Oh thank you SweetLullaby, I hadn't seen all these threads about EFT :) And yes, you're right, I didn't think about searching for that topic, because I was just taking this thread as it came. Actually I saw on yutube some videos about some techniques to deal with traumas through EFT, and I...

To SweetLullaby, the title of the thread is "Eft And Reiki?" so I guessed I could ask about Eft :) Actually I am really eager to know if any person having PTSD or C-PTSD here has tried Eft, because it definitely looks like a promising technique. Best wishes to everybody.

Hello everybody, And about EFT, did anyone here have bad or good experience with EFT? I would really like to know about that, because to me it looks like that technique is softer than some others to face traumas, and very useful for people who really struggle even talking about them. I also...

Awww brat17, that looks like deep healing moments! Thank you for sharing that, we so much share very negative stuff here, sometimes even horrible, your post seems to be a pure crystal star sparkle in the dark :happy:

Kim, I can see that you are feeling completely down. I have the feeling that emotions burried since years (tens of years?) are beginning to come out thanks to your work with your doc. This is so tough but also so positive. To me that is a proof of huge courage and strength from you, surely not...

Hello Iamhere, I remember we chatted in the chat room about a week ago. I am so sorry that things didn't improve since last time :/ I think that it is not possible to know about what part of PTSD his behaviour comes from and what part does not. So many reasons are possible from what you tell...

Yes, please be careful before watching this video, it can be very triggering to some people.

Hello Jyar, Please be aware that what comes next is only my opinion. Hello Jyar, According to me, the problem about answering that question is that everyone is different and the same at once. Different, because each of us has a very specific story of life, very specific body and genes and a...

Thank you Lucycat for your kind answer. Up to that point that is exactly what happened to me, including the "more than 30 years after the event". But I didn't know that such psychosis could be triggered by PTSD. Knowing the absolute hell I went through during my 'meltdown' I can only imagine...

Hello Joel, Just look at "Books" in the menu in this forum, you have tens of very good books about PTSD and Complex PTSD :) I wish you and your wife the very best in the path of life and healing.

Please Solara, what do you mean by psyhotic break? What happened exactly, if you allow me to ask you? Please don't force yourself to answer me if there is any risk of triggering bad stuff. Thank you in advance for your answer. DMerish, I wish you and your daughter the so very best in the...

Hello gms1976, I can relate to you too about being extremely sensitive. Did it occure to you that people getting over-sensitive BECAUSE of PTSD may be one side, but also people who are born hyper-sensitive may be more easily traumatized and get PTSD where others would easier deal with pain? I...

Nimkekaa is very right, please, PLEASE, go to the closest emergency place, call a hotline. Please do it, don't think at all and just do it. Then please come back and tell us that you did call or/and go to an emergency place and that you are physically safe now. Ok?

Please call your therapist, as you say he/she's a good one. But if calling anyone is too hard for now, write here. What recent events broke you, what is that past that make you feel ashamed. It looks like you already wrote a lot in this forum, so you probably know that here you will always...

Please forgive me, in this forum we have only typed words. It sounds to me that you don't want your life to end, but you want your extreme suffering to end. Maybe we almost all know what that feels like in this forum. For my part I know what it feels like very well. I don't know you, maybe I am...

Hello dnp, To me, what you described that you lived during your childhood was mental/emotional abuse with no doubt at all, and that can lead to C-PTSD like any other repeated traumas during months or years. According to me you are perfectly sane to feel how you feel. I would even say that you...

The word "shyness" was not appropriate, I used it only to summerize. I meant, it is not shame time anymore, fear of being judged in any way, feeling of guilt or any negative feeling that could stop you from sharing and talk about your tremendous suffering. Thank you to give us some news when...

AmyC, So many hours that you wrote your post... I don't know what you did since yesterday, but if you dont feel better, I am BEGGING you from the deepest of my soul, please call a friend, your therapist, 911, any hotline (1-800-273-8255 for example). Do anything like that, even writing in...

Ustabe, what I will tell you is only coming straightly from my heart, these are my feelings, they not necesseraly correspond to any thruth, it is yours to see how much you can relate to any of that. From what I read, your fiancee simply loves you so deeply. As a true loving person she feels...

Jenn, I am French and I may have misunderstood the meaning of that sentence, but if it is what you exactly said to your therapist, do you think that "I am tired of feeling I don't want to "be" here any more" could have been understood by your therapist as "I want to finish it all"? That could...

Canucklady, from your thread I understand that you were dealing with the office manager and not directly with your T during the cancellation. That may mean that your T was not even aware at the moment you cancelled. The office manager probably has strict rules and it is not hers to decide what...

Courage to face

I don't see that as a problem for you. I see that as a tremendous courage to have looked in that room. I still see that as a very healthy thing for you. And again, thank you.
