Finally Able To Process My Trauma

[LhasaLover]

Hi ScaredOfLonely,

Thank you for sharing this breakthrough you have experienced, it is very inspiring!

It's incredible when therapy works what incredible leaps you can make healing over years and years of trauma in just a short time. I'm so pleased to take a moment to celebrate great successes like this one you announced.

With PTSD, we so often forget to enjoy and express happiness! This is truly great news to my ears as you are a supportive, caring individual that works on getting well, every day!

I think I understand the relief you must feel from processing your trauma. Proud of you for seeking out help and just going and getting it!

All your work is paying off, keep it up!

For the first time since I've been diagnose with PTSD I feel there is a light at the end of this nightmare. You have given " hope" from this post that maybe therapy will help me move forward with my life. I feel like I keep reading a chapter of a book over and over called "my life" and until I can pass through this trauma it will always bring me back to that same chapter. You are so blessed to have found a good therapist. Im seeing a new one this week. He has great success with helping PTSD patients and few people has recommended him to me.

Thank you for sharing and giving me hope again

MJ, I am so glad you are feeling such hopefulness and are seeing someone new and with such good recomendation. I am hopeful for awhile but then my bottom falls out again, usually from a stressor that is undeserving to a normal person to cause such effect.

I dont know if anyone can relate. But my entire life I have been pretty emotionally stable, little ups and downs even when big stressors. Now stressors exhaust me-take the wind out of my sails. I compare myself with feeling bi-polar, of course Im not because onset does not occur at age 50. After a few days rest and licking wounds, I get up again, and have to do double time to get back into reoutine. I could go weeks or months doing pretty well and being hopeful, then a stressor, which seems major will consume me, causing flashbacks and restless sleep with nightmares, and over a few days while it feels like my nervous system is shot, then I crash. I dont have manic behavior either, but I feel manic inside.

I am thinking and praying for those of you who are getting the trauma therapy you need.
Best of Wishes
