Sufferer Hello all, i work in emergency services & recently started emdr

[AlteredReality]

Hello everyone.

Just thought I would post in here to say hello. I am not very good with computers or with expressing myself but I have found myself in a dark place which keeps getting darker so thought there was no harm in reaching out as such.

I work in the emergency services, a role I have loved, and still do, for quite a number of years now but suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and recently started EDMR for PTSD which has, over the years, started to affect every aspect of my life.

It looks like a really friendly place so thought I would say. I am incredibly paranoid so for me, just making this post is a big stepping stone

Welcome to the community, and I'm glad you reached out. So many experiences to learn from here, across the board, along with some amazingly supportive folks. Take good care of you.

Thank you for the warm welcome - I am trying for sure, but somedays its just..... (sigh)

I totally innerstand. Be kind to yourself and try not to should on yourself in the process. We often end up being our own biggest hurdles.

Where do I post a bit about my background?

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

There's a trauma diaries section that would be ideal for that that I posted below. However, if you want specific feedback regarding a particular topic, it seems to get more traffic/responses by starting a thread under the best related category heading that you can find. Only speaking from observation and my own posting/reading habits, as I've not yet started a diary of my own.
