I’m nervous. Can someone tell me what it’s like? Did it produce flashbacks for you? Has it not worked for some people?

How could you tell if they were real or fake? Also did they come back after a session or after all the sessions were done?

I’m getting closer and closer to being ready to undergo EMDR. I think what frustrates me is that I don’t know where the trauma originates from since I’ve lived with symptoms of childhood PTSD my whole life. I wouldn’t know how to target any big T traumas when I don’t have a definitive memory to...

I was too young to remember so I really have no idea. My mother did have me babysat by this one family while she went out to work. So I don’t know if it had anything to do with that.

I was misdiagnosed with ADHD as well. Turns out I’m most likely a Borderline, which is even worse lol

I have educated myself on it. I also happen to have BPD so you demonizing people with personality disorders has actually managed to make me feel worse.

I’m tired of being nice or honest with people because I end up getting shit on anyway.

I think you and I are gonna have to agree to disagree.

I’ve been feeling very angry and irritable these past few weeks. I think I’m becoming depressed right now and am starting to doubt myself and my intuition. Mainly because I can’t pinpoint what transpired my trauma since I was so young when symptoms started to manifest. I had to be around 4 or 5...

I was actually told by my physician that I’m at risk for becoming pre-diabetic so I’ll keep this in mind for myself.

Yeah last time I did a meditation where I only focused on my breathing, I ended up having panic attacks and somatic flashbacks. I’ve also read that that stuff can happen with Buddhist monks and it makes me wonder if those monks have their issues they need to address.

I didn’t notice a drastic change, but I don’t do that anymore.

I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder after being misdiagnosed with Bipolar 2. I am now seeing a new psychiatrist and he’s been prescribing my medications monthly.

The fact that my mother accused me of having false memories and of being brainwashed by a therapist is an example. This was back when I was about 25 or 26. I was putting up a boundary because I was tired of being made fun of for my weight and I told her that I see right through her I see right...

I think my threat comes from the fear of abandonment, so I tend to avoid relationships altogether. Also, I feel like I can’t trust my family members based on the shady behavior from my parents. I was also diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder recently, and I’ve read that abandonment...

I’m doing a lot better with functioning now that I see a trauma-trained therapist who is incorporate DBT into our sessions. She’s also slowly introducing somatic therapy as well. I don’t really have any real life relationships other than a few family members and my roommate. My online friends...

I just feel like I’d be more likely to remember and know what jumpstarted my trauma symptoms if I developed PTSD after the age of 5 rather than before 5.

I can’t tell because of the chronic pain due to the adenomyosis, but I am getting surgery for it some time this year. It’s includes a presacral neurectomy, removal of a possible occult hernia, and excisions of endometrial tissue affected by the disorder. I’m hoping that it will alleviate the...

Okay, so I meant to say that, according to the symptoms I currently described to mental health professionals, I’ve been told that I’ve shown symptoms since I was 5. However, I wasn’t diagnosed with PTSD until I was 28. I didn’t feel any fear when I was at the two houses. I just felt like I was...

I don’t get a memory when I go through these regressions. I’ve been told that I’ve had PTSD by mental health professionals since I was 5. I think I was just too young to remember everything. I have, however, had a peculiar memory of two white houses with barely any windows during the middle of...

I keep looking back and think “What if I don’t have PTSD stemming from childhood, and what if I wasn’t sexually abused? I’m not even sure if I was sexually abused in the first place anyway. What if the panic from painful penetration was only because of those conditions?” The reason I’m...

I’ve yet to read that book. At the same time I’m trying not to resort to black and white thinking and figure that I must “doomed from the start”.

I still need to do my research, but I’ve read online that trauma from the age of 5 and under can significantly affect brain development. I spent most of my childhood with maladaptive daydreaming, dissociating, having fight-or-flight responses, and night terrors. I also had academic setbacks...

I don’t know, I think I’m just depressed because I’m also diagnosed with BPD and that has its own set of stigmas attached to it.

I just don’t understand why I had to develop PTSD at the age of 5. My life was ruined before it even started. Best part of all is I don’t even know where it comes from since I was too young to remember.
