Not clear exactly what forum to place this within… so sorry Admin
I can not seem to decrease my interrupting rumination, sleepless nights or get my stress level down enough to attend celebratory gatherings for my immediate family with their friends. I finally opted out firmly as I needed to sleep and do self-care. I felt bad to disappoint and will talk to my T again.
**But can we ever get better on crowds? **Is there statistical evidence that supports possible norms in socializing? **Have you done it? I feel so trapped in my symptoms at times.
I have tried exposure therapy, talked myself hoarse with the T, various visualizations and each time I end up cycling the gambit of PTSD Disability symptoms and trigger my other disease. So if you have managed to handle the dynamics of group noise, body spacing and pleasantries with ease…let me know with perhaps how you reached that zone. I feel like a Ef ing failure after all this T time (which is not a downer to me but very frustrating to see my family hurt by my rejection of such gatherings). Thanks for any insight.
