This is old, but I am glad I found it because I went looking for your ketamine journey thread (couldn’t find it) and stumbled across a post that made me want to ask if you’re an aspie. Luckily instead of derailing my search, I kept going and found this. Your post was about how you have been...

Hope all goes and that you see some benefits 🙏🏼. Will be looking out for updates ✨.

I guess I should mention that the benefits for me were subtle. It wasn’t like I’ve read in other places where people magically feel happy after one session of Spravsto. *I didn’t do Spravato, I did sublingual troches (waxy squares that melt). It helped with my compulsive behavior (not being so...

Yeah, I just keep them separate .

Yes. I have cptsd, Asperger’s, and adhd. It has been helpful. Your state of mind when you go into your treatments and what you listen to while you’re there is really what drives the experience. But it’s the experience you have while you’re there that is supposed to benefit you (although it does...

From my experience, I think most of them only do medication management. I had 3, and they all basically just either recommend meds or let me tell them what meds I need or want to try. Appointments are only 15 mins (even though I always keep them on longer), and they really are just wanting...

Hi. Ok, so it sounds like you had to ‘actually’ disconnect from them as in having to explain why you didn’t want them to contact you anymore. I probably said that wrong, but I guess it stuck with me because I think the difference for me is that my family doesn’t actually ‘want’ to have anything...

I shouldn’t have read this because now I want to reply, but I am getting delirious as it is at least two hours past my usual bedtime. I will come back tomorrow. I’m sorry you had a rough week 😣. I know that feeling all too well. I am glad you have found the support you need in Jesus. Rest well...

Hi. I am just now seeing this. Still learning how to navigate here. Wow, yes. Very similar lives. And I was put back into the system around 14? So yeah, many different foster homes as well. *even though they were still my parents and I’d still would try to go ‘home’. Yeah, I don’t think my...

I really wish the ‘love’ icon was just a heart because the big smiley face just doesn’t feel right to me (in terms of wanting to ‘love’ certain posts). But anyway, thank you so much for this. How exactly did you disconnect? Because I have been seriously considering changing my name for this...

I agree with this. Making peace with it would be the most definitive answer. But the things we all feel like we need in order for that to happen will vary. In your case, you say you didn’t get what you thought you needed but were able to make peace with it anyway. But at the same time you say...

I think of closure in comparison to various situations . Like…a break-up where you feel like you need to know ‘why’. Or parents of a missing child who are tormented by not knowing what happened and/or who took them and if their child is still alive. I think it’s the relief from the torment of...

Hi. Thank you for the welcome message. I have not read this book, but it’s on my list now. Thanks so much, I will check it out. That specific bullet you replied to about me being a problem since the moment I was conceived is something my biological mother said to me after I found her (in my...

thank you .yes, I have therapy/counseling twice a week. it does help.

I am currently reading The Body Keeps the Score (only about a quarter of the way through). Hoping I can find some answers and possibly some workable way to start healing . Last year, I read Oprah Winfreys ‘What Happened to You’ with Dr Perry (I think). And that was a good read in terms of just...

Wow, my son does exactly this. I had a professional kickboxer coming to give him private lessons for over a year, and when it was time for him to learn to spar, the trainer would take the first shot and my son would literally just go limp. He was 10-11 then, 21 now. I hope that the shift will...

For me it’s because I do actually NEED their help and support to live a somewhat normal/stable life. My doctors have written letters describing the kind of help I need . Some of it requires financial resources (which my family has), but my family (aside from NOT being willing to help in that...

I guess I do kinda feel shackled to the past. Because I feel like moving forward without any kind of acknowledgment, validation, or justice is basically saying to myself that everyone was right all along and that nothing that happened to me matters 🤷🏻‍♀️. I mean, that’s basically what it means...

Hi. Thank you for sharing. You gave me a couple things to ponder and I feel like I’m starting to gain some clarity. Remember, this is only one part of what I have mentally identified as conditions for personal healing/switching mindsets (trauma has to stop -and- justice be served); and one of...

Hi. Yeah, I think it might be an aspie/autie thing. Because in my mind, the shift from victim to survivor could only happen if the trauma stops -and- justice is served. For example (hypothetically), if a person is raped, that person is a victim. If perpetrator is caught and thrown in jail, [in...

I have said that exact thing to people (and they never believe me). Good to know there is at least one other person who can relate 😅. Thank you for the welcome 🙏🏼.

Thank so much for the reply. I've never thought about skills required to reply helpfully and compassionately, I guess you don't have to when you know what it's like to have people respond in the most hurtful ways. I already know it's not helpful, but there is no one else to ask. And I think...

Hi MyPTSD, I have aspergers and CPTSD and I stumbled across this site while searching for information on changing names to distance oneself from past trauma. But after reading through posts/threads, I now feel this forum may hold the answer to a deep burning question I've had for many years...
