@jandal ...you have reached out here. IMHO, your T pushing you to do something you're not comfortable with, and may also isolate you from existing friendships (not everyone is comfy with, or knows how to respond to one with PTSD).
The fact that she keeps bringing this issue up, and taking...
@ReachingOutJ ...Big Hugs to you. Know that there's so many caring folks here that DO have concern for your welfare. I wish you all the best with your new therapist, and I hope that this site can arm you with all the necessary questions to ask your new T. It will aid greatly to avoid another...
I agree with others that a maid is in order. Perhaps getting help from a friend who's great at crunching numbers to help out with organizing your finances, or an accountant. Despite the looming 'D' word (divorce), it sounds like there's still a lot of love there or else you wouldn't be reaching...
I'm on my way out the door...get some good vibes from the great outdoors and a friend, but I will definitely dig up the links for you. I'll also PM you with the steps of the how to's on what I've been doing and will do. You seem like you're up for the challenge. I pray that you can benefit as...
@Saint Nik
I've had too many letdowns, mis-diagnosis, etc from the so called 'health' system, that I've lost trust in them long ago. Or should I say, they lost my trust. Recently, I tried getting a therapist, but was unable to (long story). It's forced me into a place where I must do self care...
Hi Saint Nik
When I was reading your posts, it sounded like you were describing my panic attacks. I just wanted to further solidify the notion that you are not alone. I too, have great trouble breathing and as a result, my back, neck and stomach get in knots. I don't know if this will aid you...
@Justin87 ...I felt that way at first when I joined. After reading about what others here are going/went though, I no longer felt alone with my thoughts and feelings.
I wish you all the best.
My thanks to you as well PTSDbegone :)
I'm onto week 3 with it, yet I'm still having '3-nighters', where I stay up that long before I finally crash out for a few hours.
Trying to hang in there...I'm finding it very difficult atm.
Hope you are finding relief and some kind of solace in PTSD Hell.
Welcome @Justin87 :)
I can relate to the panic attacks and dissociation, along with the porno/spiritual components. Glad you have some help, and more here too now.
@PTSDbegone ...Just with all the SSRI's alone, there's so many. Some folks have reported good results on anti-depressants, but of the many I've tried, all left me with horrible side effects.
I completely understand you saying that you don't know if that's best...keep trying different ones. I...
