I'm Alone

Yeah I figured that's probably what you meant! Lol!

I am actually about to go somewhere for dinner with my family :) and I just took a GABA supplement and did some bilateral headphone sound thingy's I downloaded from this site. I've also been trying to practice writing left handed. When I woke up last night from a nightmare I was able to calm myself down with those methods. Then I got a flashback about an hour later and tried to do some EFT which was kinda...eh....but everything on this site helps for sure. Even if it just gives me ideas to go off of. Or to distract me somewhat :p
 
Thanks, I'm trying to do all that I can! I had an ok time at dinner with my family. Towards the end of the night during dessert I ended up having a panic attack though and had to go outside to cry :(

It felt like a halfway flashback or something but I'm not sure because I really can't remember it much my brain just went haywire. My family came outside though and we left right afterwards so I was very thankful for that. I'm pretty drained now, but overall it was a pretty decent night.
 
Take your time, take it as slowly as you need to Sassy. James is right though, you don't have decades of bad coping skills to undo and that is a gift. You will get thru this. I know I have said this to you before but it bares repeating.....you will have a good life, a healthy life and happiness. Do the work now, learn how to cope, it will all be worth it in the long run ;o)
 
This weird thing happened to me yesterday, I had to drop my daughter off at the airport for a school tournament. I don't like crowds so I was up against a wall three steps away from an exit and a plan on how to get there if somebody tried to stop me, but something clicked in my head and I noticed the people weren't there for me, they were there for loved ones, and then it dawned on me that I was alone.
