I have the same problem but I start on my forehead and it runs all the way to my waist. I become drenched .I talked to my family doc he said menopause but know it's not . it's anxiety or ptsd maybe both? If I'm home it never happens.
And people wonder why I'm slowly going insane, My workman's comp company has now decided I need to get a second opinion 6 days before the surgery after I got the preoperative stuff done and 20 months after I was hurt.
I have another surgery coming up and I'm scared shitless. I've had quite a few since the attack but this is a big one, c5 c6 fused .My anxiety is over the moon and my depression is getting bad too.i have my therapy Thursday , really hoping it helps.
Love always, I feel the same ,sitting here now knowing I won't sleep for hours and when I do it will only be for a short time.i can't give you advise but it's not just you and we will make it.!
Seeking Africa, it's been 18 months since the attack 2 major surgeries 3or 4 procedures and lots of pt.He has commented I should be better physically and emotionally by now and I'm faking it for pity.I have at least 2 more major surgeries to go through ....I could only wish I was " faking" it.
Today has been horrible, I'm pretty sure my husband has been going behind my back and " hanging out" with a friend of ours.She is not into men but I have douts .He has made comments since my attack that I better get over it cause he won't deal with me like this and he wants a wife not a burden...
Again today I tried to go to a store with my youngest to get a gift for a birthday party and it ended badly. I don't know if I'm just noticing autistic folks or because of the holidays more caregivers are doing shopping outings but I was face to face with a man who reminded me of my attacker. My...
I can not stand being touched by anyone except my kids and I have to see them coming at me.I was attacked and the fight reflex is high now, I don't trust myself. Even someone moving towards me in a fast way sends me into a panic and I freak out. I'm lucky to be alive after the attack but all the...
I know your pain.I have visualized killing myself ,how where and when.I even realized the flaws,if I shot myself on the bridge I would have to face away from the water or I would fall on the road not over the bridge.I don't own a gun,never will ,so I'm not sure why I came up with that idea.I...
Well I went to my appointment and finally spoke up.I told him I need to work on what was going on in my head and lack of sleep.I also told him I could care less if I ever went to a mall or what ever.He listened and he didn't bring up going out until we were almost done and he didn't push the...
Once I'm up I'm up can't go back to sleep at all.i gave up trying. I read or watch TV in the warmer months I would walk down the barn and talk to the mules,I bet they are happy it's cold out now.lol.I know this is no help,but you're not alone that's for sure!
I can see that I have not been direct enough on what matters to me.I can see going out is important but not right now.I go next week and will try to reword how I feel.Thank you
Went for my weekly therapy and left feeling lost.I get he wants me to not fear going out shopping and such but I'm not worried about that right now.Im worried about not sleeping, not being able to think and function but he keeps dwelling on going out.Am I missing the point? I said I would try to...
Tonight I need to sleep,more then a couple of hours,I'm going insane from lack of sleep so I'm trying something new . I'm adding the Valium now and doubling it.I figure it's not enough to hurt me but maybe just maybe I'll some sleep without the damn dreams and nightmares. Good night all and may...
I forgave the guy who attacked me,he is disabled but I can't forgive his parents and my case worker neither one has called me or text except to ask what I did to cause the attack. I see his mom alot and she turns her back and walks away.
I think the dreams are the worst part you can't avoid them,they always come for me . I tried to not sleep for 2 days thinking I would be to tired to dream,nope.I truly feel for you.Have you tried going to sleep at a different time ?Maybe you are entering the same sleep mode at that time? For me...
My scares cause me great grief, they remind me of the pain of the attack , surgeries and the mental crap.I will have one on my throat if I get the next surgery and I will see it every day.
I know my injuries are making my depression worse every day.I have very limited use of my left arm from my shoulder down because of this my world had to change. I can't horseback ride,canoe,hike and keep up my farm.I am going to pt. 3x a week and will most likely need 2 more surgeries. The pain...
I skipped Thanksgiving at the in laws this year,just could not do it . Christmas doubt I'll go, I know they all think I'm full of crap,I worked in the autism field for years now I can't even think about it with out having anxiety. I'll go again when I can.
