Hello @parrotthepolly

Thank You for replying. In a nutshell I've had PTSD for most of my life and have tried every kind of therapy in the book. I had a breakdown 2 years ago and pulled though it but right now life seems so uncertain. My relationships with family are fraught and i have no friends.

I had EMDR virtually but i'm still getting flashbacks, There are moments where I'm scared to think of anything without another flashback. They're so strong it physically affects me even feeling the pain again.

Its so overwhelming at points.

Sorry to hear treatment didn't work, lots of people still live with the illness after many attempts.

I know how it feels as i find it hard to get along with most people and the bodily memories.

Thanks. I do wonder sometimes If I have autism or similar because i find it hard to get on with people.

Good Morning everyone. I just wanted to say thanks for the replies, it means a lot. I forgot to mention that I have had a word with a colleague of mine who is a "mental health first aider". She isn't a therapist but is looking into any help I can get.
