I have cptsd too, welcome

I have recently started emdr and have noticed results. I think it is working, although i go through a time period of some distress, like things intensify for a while afterward. So far i have noticed a difference.

Hi Thizette, this is such a nice post, I was wondering how long it took you to feel better, i remember when i was able to handle things better and I remember what that felt like. If you dont mind me asking, what were some of the things you did to get better and how long it took, to get back to a...

1. didnt do what i was supposed to today, even though i dont know what that is 2. started an online relationship with someone who i dont know and i dont know what i did by accident, so i dont know what the consequences are. 3. i may be dilusional 4. im having a tough time understanding 5. i...

I have been having this same problem, not seeing a future, and i think just aknowledging it helps. That maybe we can move on from this place. So how do you do that when things seem a bit black and white and a bit dark. Do you just show up anyways, do the things you think you can do and hope for...

Thanks for this thread!

glad im not alone.

i just gotta say, i support you in your recovery. i too was retraumatized this past spring and it was hell. anxiety through the roof. I actually ended up in inpatient. i too had a very healthy life and spiritual groundedness. im sorry your going through this. I wish you well. I completely shut...

hi ninfityfour:) Im curious about the cbd oil your using and the name brand. Im not sure how to PM you, as i have never done that before. Thanks

having some breakthrough thoughts today about trusting myself again after retraumatization. Can this last? How to trust again. I was really good at this at one time. used to be bad ass, loved myself, can i return to the spiritual being i once was and knew really well? How to love myself again...

trying to recover from a mental breakdown this summer, healing is slow, i have ptsd. My grandma died yesterday. Im around family, but worried about my mental health, and my mom since it was her mother. I am still grieving my own husband who died 3 and a half years ago. I am dealing with...

Bloomy, I hear you. I went through a good 3 years of feeling like people ought to be more sensitive to all situations and people they run in to. Its like a lack of respect to have people just plow through and not be actively kind, patient, and boundary sensitive. It sucks. I was of a similar...

A recent traumazitation left me unable to connect to people again and its not fun. Im hoping therapy helps as well. i think baby steps is right, and im trying to remember to focus on my own thoughts and feelings however minimal instead of trying to relate to others all the time. I think its like...

I had the same thing and also with some memories, but excrutiating. I had to take zoloft and klonopin. it has only been until recently that I have been able to work on the somatic stuff. just starting to do that again. Its overwhelming starting over again.

very inspirational, thank you all:)

same thing happened to me. Retraumatization crippled me and ended me up on meds after I was functioning relatively well. My family said something like, you seem to not deal with things the same way other people do. Uh, yea, PTSD is like that. Thanks for posting.

Hi, does anyone ever have the sensation that their mind is dark and frozen or like dark and stuck in a dark trauma state. Just dark. Not necessarily the thinking just a dark mind brain feeling?

Mim28, I can relate to almost all of your post. Every time I get on here i cant beleive i have found another person like me. I too was on a decent path even recovering from my husband passing , very familiar with my ptsd symptoms, and did everything I was supposed to do for the most part...

nimali, I have moments like that. Like just existing, but not sure I exist either.

you have tons of support.

Ilex, I liked your post, I too lost the love of my life and have ptsd. I also struggle with not wanting to live without him. Good luck to you.

Hi, I would love to know the answer to this as well. Right now I am currently on zoloft and Klonopin for the anxiety until the zoloft starts working, but I would love to know if it is helpful with anxiety througout the day and can help with some dissociation as well as general recovery of...

I can so relate to this posting. I have not been able to put it into words so thanks for that. I have also been this way for months. So far TV, familiarity, crafting, snacking, whatever, and keep moving a bit. I try to tell myself I belong here. Comfort,etc. so wierd this feeling. Just seems...

So its been a while since I posted on this forum but Im so glad I found it again. i can relate so much to what everyone here is saying. On the topic of of functioning this has been a difficult one for me. I have aways been somewhere on the boarderline of functioning / non functioning. I can...
