Hi everyone. I'm glad to have found this website. I've been clinically diagnosed with Chronic Depression, GAD, and Social Anxiety. I unfortunately don't have the means to afford formal therapy sessions. And so, been exploring different methods of self-healing for years, like trial-and-error. Only fairly recently did I come across this condition called C-PTSD and upon watching online videos, and reading up more about it, things have started falling into place. It has given me a deeper understanding of myself, and life has finally started to feel hopeful for me.
So... I'm trying to optimize all available help online and integrate them into my discipline. Right now, I'm focusing on self-facilitated IFS (albeit kinda wobbly, feels like groping in the dark sometimes), and supplementing it with some emotion regulating techniques like mindfulness practice, EFT, dance, journaling, etc. I've felt a bit of progress since late last year, but I often feel like maybe I should be doing more. I know one should not hasten healing, but since I'm doing it solo, I feel like I have to compensate it somehow with more effort.
I guess I just also want to know some success stories for motivation and inspiration. Or maybe hear some personal experiences/insights, as I honestly am finding it really lonely and difficult doing it all by myself.
Thank you so much. And cheers to healing!
