    Need help recovering from flashbacks

    Well, then, I guess my question is, does anybody have any step-by-step instructions from me on how to go about processing a flashback? In this case, I am a very clear on what the trigger is and why. But that doesn’t help me recover quicker from the flashback fallout ☹️

    Anxiety & feeling vulnerable after gas station experience

    I didn’t wake up in a great mood but was hopeful that going out would improve it. I went to fill car with gas at a gas station I rarely go to. It’s inconvenient bc you can’t pay at the pump, you need to walk over to the teller. But it was way cheaper so… As I was walking over to teller he’s an...

    Help! No peace of mind. No joy left. Just fear. Sadness.

    I feel so old. Like a used rag that’s been through the same cycle over and over. No peace of mind. No joy left. Just fear. Sadness. I wonder if a psych place (not hospital) would help but my insurance doesn’t cover. In the good old US of A: no money, no sanity.
