[Brokenup1230]

I have suffered major trauma including violent domestic partner now an ex,lost everything in house fire,I look after my critically ill grandson..just lost mom and best friend..I stay alone I cannot work just now..I lost part of my bowel and gut. I have helped many others..but in my family you are looked down upon..I have a large family but that is how they think..I just keep silent and don,t go out any more. Before everything happened to me I excercise do daily..now for two years I have barely gotten out of bed..iam looney but feel I cannot matin a relationship at this time if ever! Can someone tell me about rapid eye movement and what is tapping? Can some one

Hi. You would be better to post this in the introductions, which is where most people start. Instead you have added it to an already completed query and it is likely to be overlooked and missed. You can 'report' your own post and request that it is moved to a more relevant area so that it gets noticed and you will get more help and replies.

I hear your anxiety about posting on the forum. You don't need to worry -we are a very friendly bunch and I would like to be the first to say 'welcome'!

Hi, @Brokenup1230 - I've moved your post into the Introductions forum (thanks for the suggestion, @Lucycat).

Can someone tell me about rapid eye movement and what is tapping?

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and processing) is probably what you are referring to as 'rapid eye movement'. There are lots of posts about it on the forum. You can just enter it as a search term. Tapping, you are probably referring to EFT (emotional freedom technique), which you can also search here. They are both therapeutic methods for 'processing' (working through) traumatic memories.
I'm glad you've found us - it's helpful, always, to not be alone with this stuff.

Do you have a diagnosis of PTSD? That's often the best place to start.

@Brokenup1230 Welcome to the forum! :)

Are you currently battling a chronic illness? Perhaps your primary physician could put you in touch with a therapist that could help with a diagnosis and development of a treatment plan. There is a lot going on in your life and it sounds like you don't have a lot of support. I hope you find the support here beneficial.
