Hi @Ally2016 !
That's right... I'm expecting major side effects so I don't want to risk it. I even took circadin as a natural alternative for sleep and I had a lot of side effects in the "uncommon/rare" category. Sucked because i never slept so well ...
Thanks so much for the info . I love meditation but I went off track when I couldn't use another app anymore. So I've downloaded headspace thanks !

Right here . And mind you I’m only just aware (as of yesterday) of my symptoms of PTSD. Been diagnosed depressed, bi polar, bi polar 1 w/ psychotic features, GAD, ADD, I don’t know anymore, frankly i’ve given up trying to keep track! I was a csa victim of my brother that began when i was 5..i think. As thats all i remember! Except the behavior I exhibited, was used to shame & punish me. Anyways 48 years later, I’m only just recognizing my symptoms. I do the exact same thing you mentioned. And as my emotions are so fleeting, its impossible to express them in a therapeutic setting. Sorry to ramble, i’m just beyond frustrated atm with the mental health system & their lack of competency! Grr
