    Physiotherapy and ptsd

    Thanks for the replies :) I've already talked to the physio about difficulty with touch. Last time he explained all the exercises without touching me, because I told him beforehand that I was having a hard time that day. @Stephernovas I'm sorry to hear that :( It's not okay that someone...

    Physiotherapy and ptsd

    Hi! I was wondering if any of you had some useful advice on how to make physiotherapy more do-able. I go to physiotherapy because of a genetic defect (which causes my joints to do freaky and painful stuff). It's pretty tough to get through a session I tend to dissociate a lot I don't want to...

    Craniosacral

    Thanks for replying :) I was kinda worrying that my reaction was somewhat strange/abnormal. Maybe it isn't that strange ;)

    Craniosacral

    Hi! I have sessions with a physiotherapist for an hypermobility issue. Two of those sessions, he did something called craniosacral. I keep on dissociating as a reaction to it. It's not always full on dissociation, sometimes derealization, depersonalization. When I search craniosacral on...

    Putting Stuff On Hold

    Maybe it's strange that I like your post... I kind of hope you'll find your way eventually. But it feels nice to know that I'm not the only one who just can't right now.

    Putting Stuff On Hold

    It's not like I decided to put it on hold myself... I tried, but it just doesn't work out right now. I'm not able to cope with being worse right now, and no, I don't feel great about that. I feel like a failure because other people work through it, while I don't feel able to.

    Putting Stuff On Hold

    I don't have one, partly because my problems seem to get a hell lot worse if I constantly write. From 2010 until 2012 I wrote one-page texts about everything: psychotic breakdowns, what was going on in my head, memories, ... When I stopped writing, things kinda got a bit lighter. So that's my...

    Putting Stuff On Hold

    Sorry for the bad English, I try... So I've been institutionalized many times, multiple times specifically for psychosis (although this was a misdiagnosis) and one time (the last one) for an eating disorder. I still go to a psychiatrist and until 3 months ago I went to a dietician. I've been...

    Triggers And School

    Hi! At the moment I'm in the 3rd year of a 3-year long study (university college social work)... A few days ago we got to know who are 'mentors' were going to be for the rest of the year. Last year I had F., this year it turned out to be that I also have F. The problem started last year, I...

    Noticing Effects Of Superfoods On Ptsd

    I like cranberries, because they help prevent bladder infections. For the rest I try not to focus too much on food (because of an eating disorder). But I also tried chia seeds and goji berries... They don't seem to do anything for me, but I guess everyone reacts differently ;)

    Anxiety And Lying

    Omg, 'safe to say it' filter, that kinda describes it pretty good. I've been going to this psychiatrist since 2012, so I don't know if time will change much... I often send mails before or after a session to explain the real situation, but I'm starting to think he's getting really annoyed...

    Anxiety And Lying

    I'm on a waiting list for a therapist, but the thing is I'm already getting scared. I hope that I won't shut down or lie there.. But I'm scared I will.

    Anxiety And Lying

    Hi I'm quite annoyed with myself right now. The last sessions I've had with my psychiatrist were a little bit off. As in strange, awkward, I don't know. So he asks questions and I try to answer mostly positive, in the meantime I tend to think about all the negative stuff in my head. So when I...

    Being Indifferent

    I get what you're saying about strongly feeling talking is not going to fix you... But yet, it doesn't feel like not talking is helping me either. I'm afraid of everything that might come with it, even if it's just feeling blank. But I will also be angry at myself if I don't at least give it a...

    Being Indifferent

    Maybe I'm strange, I really don't know, but I'll post it here anyway. I can't stop thinking that I should be crying all day, but I'm not... I can talk about things (traumatic experiences) that happened without feeling anything, but not always. It's mostly when I'm being sucked in to...

    Almost, But Not Just Yet

    Update: I had 2 sessions with the female therapist I spoke about earlier, it didn't work out, we decided to stop. In the meantime I've contacted other T's, they all have a waiting list. The shortest waiting list is a few months (as in: the end of September), the longest is at least until...

    Almost, But Not Just Yet

    Yesterday I had an appointment with a female therapist. It went quite okay, but some things were hard on me. It's hard for me to have a female therapist and there are a few things that remind me of certain things. I'm going to continue searching...

    Almost, But Not Just Yet

    I've sent emails to 2 possible T's. One has answered already, it's possible to make an appointment... There is hope I think. Just gets me thinking about how hard it must be to find help when you're not already in the 'mental health' system. I can get referrals quite easily, but I wouldn't know...

    Almost, But Not Just Yet

    So, I started considering therapy for ptsd a while ago. I went to a new therapist and that didn't end well. Today I had an appointment with a therapist that I already knew. He told me that he doesn't quite do long treatments anymore (only about 3 to 4 sessions). He does want to help to find...

    Other Epilepsy vs pseudoseizures (pines)

    I dissociate a lot, but I also just 'fall' sometimes. It's like one second I'm triggered by something and the next I'm down on the ground. Most of the time I'm not down that long (a few seconds), but I do feel disoriented and almost always I immediately start crying... As if it's a flood of...

    Depression- Fighting Tactics Encouraging Ed/ Obsession?

    :hug: I'm recovering from an ED as well.. I went inpatient for 6 months about 2 years ago and that really helped me to figure out what I wanted to do. But it's hard, it's something that pulls and doesn't easily let go. Maybe you could make a list of all the things you can do when you're not...

    Sufferer Shiver Says Hello

    Sufferer Shiver Says Hello

    Hi, Gosh, I don't know where to begin... It all begins at the age of 5, that's for sure. But it really started in high school... I mostly blocked everything bad but then it started weighing on me. I developed an eating disorder at the age of 13, nobody really noticed, my parents just forced...
