A Bad Month

I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but I am just having a very PTSD month. A whole lot of symptoms all at the same time, throughout my day (and night) and am having a harder time than usual talking about it with anyone.

I just needed to put it out there that I'm feeling real yucky right now. Thanks for giving me space to share it.
 
Amen to putting it out there. That's the single best way to begin feeling better. Not good for you to keep it bottled up internally so it drags you down.
 
Thanks for sharing and I identify! I've been finding these last couple of weeks intense but am turning to some helpful though tools I learnt in somatic experiencing. I'm waiting to see a new therapist and haven't had treatments for weeks so being able to use some SE resources has been a help For example it's not always necessary to talk as connecting with the body is very transformative. For example doing simple things like give yourself a hug or imagine a beautiful peaceful place, animal or situation that makes your body feel really good and safe. Stay with that for a while and notice the sensations in your body i.e there might be warmth, tingling, pleasurable sensations. Already the nervous system is starting to regulate and you don;t have to talk about anything, rather the body's having a nicer conversation than the one you're used to, it's beginning to relax, feel a bit safe again and that's very empowering. I hope it helps
 
That's quite interesting and very unorthodox but I will give it a try and see how it takes to my body. Thanks much.
 
I actually already do a form of this! I try to remember a gentle hug from a friend or some kind words spoken to me. I figured if my body could remember the worst things it can remember the best things, too!
