Need More Tools

[Tanishq]

@Lewa Please hang in there. Keep up the work you are doing. I want to tell you something honestly because this comes from my experience. It took me months to get back to walking and fix sleep timings. With PTSD, you become lot slower. It's normal I think. Scenery will change after some months. :)

Not coping well at all this week but not giving in to feeling hopeless so I guess that is something, right?!?

Right.

I don't want to give in to hopelessness. Hate this.

Thank you for understanding.

@WildMermaid :joyful: I was there while reading 1st method of forest or beach. :D

Gentle thank you. I love the choice of words in that method, worked for me while just reading to get a clue. :)

It's hard to explain why it worked but it did.

You explained very well, believe me. Thanks jaccat.

@Chava You are doing lot of positive activities. Thanks for sharing them here.

Walking is helpful, yes, agree with you. It is helping me,too.

Music is food of our soul, you are on right path again. :tup:

I understand where you come from, you are going from inside to outside. I believe one day you will feel good. Everything starts from tiny bits... :)

Thank you.

@UniversalBeing I don't have therapist here, so would it be safe to go for EMDR therapy session which is on amazon?

Thanks everyone. This discussion is helping me a lot.

@Tanishq doing EMDR processing on your own is not safe and I don't think it is possible. However the safe place part can be done alone with this audios. It is not about processing any memory but about calming the mind and body. It like guided visualization with added bilateral simulation through sound.
EMDR Guided Meditation "The Tree" (Official EMDR …:

You can listen to it without headphones and you will see it's nothing scary.

Thank you @Tanishq for the words of encouragement, they are appreciated more than you know. I believe you, scenery will change...

I have a hard time with the tools. I have the tools it is just remembering them and using them in the situation. I usually don't realize what I could have done until after the fact. I also get tired of using them. It's tough when I struggle with the same thing over and over and over and over and it seems like I use the tools to get the thought away but it's only temporary and always comes back

@UniversalBeing Thanks a lot, it makes sense to me. It's about calming down the body and go into relaxation which is where I experience lot of difficulty.

@Lewa you are most welcome. I am glad to be helpful towards you. :happy:

@holdenmonty Sure, it is a work. It can tire you out, but it's worthy in the end. It pays big reward in long run.
