    Other Sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies

    We had our house inspected by a building biologist about 2 months ago and our EMF situation was bad. We had it all fixed and the changes in our family are very noticeable. Better sleep, less stomach issues, my son had a tic that’s now gone. I can’t recommend an inspection enough.

    Exercise induced anxiety?

    I have this EXACT issue and have for a while. I’ve been doing CrossFit for a few years and I’ve had to step outside to cry and have had full on panic attacks.

    Gave up sugar!!!!

    That's a huge improvement. Wow! People have no idea how much our food actually effects our bodies. I didn't either before I changed my diet. My kids have food sensitivities and they're on the paleo diet and I've been a vegetarian for a long time so it's a tough mix but we all feel so much...

    I can completely relate to this and I think a lot of people can. I've been with my T for a year and a half and I JUST recently got over the not-able-to-talk-about stuff enough for her to help as much as I needed her to. It was so frustrating, maybe for her too but she never showed it. I've...

I have a few things I do: I got into cycling a few years ago and it gives me a much needed break in my depression. I was feeling awful yesterday and pushed myself to get on my bike and I felt...

    Trauma Therapy, What To Expect?

    Sorry, just saw this reply. I didn't get passed it really, I just got tired and exhausting from trying to keep it up so when I found a T who really got what was happening and felt safe, I was able to push myself passed boundaries I've maintained for so long. It's still hard and after sending...

    Trauma Therapy, What To Expect?

    I'm doing EMDR now for combat trauma and it's been very difficult but completely worth it. After 16 years of getting no where in therapy, I'm finally starteling to feel better. I definitely recommend it but you really need to be ready and find the right therapist to go through it with you. I had...

    News New Term: Completed Suicide Vs. Comitted Suicide

    Suicide used to be considered a crime so that's where the "committed" came from. I'd like to see it change from that but there's not really a good way to say it so I'm not sure it matters.

    Narcissistic Abuse / Ptsd Is Killing Me

    Hey...I have a different trauma but I'm currently doing EMDR. Actually, it was one year ago today that I started. I just want to encourage you to stick with it. It's been really, really hard but I'm starting to feel better. I have a narcissistic mom and it has helped me put boundaries in...
