I have been recovering very well with medication and services and support. At first the medication worked very well, but I noticed this week I have been dealing with appetite problems and stomach issues again. I still feel strong and happy, but it was a bit of a disappointment that the pills weren't a full healing deal. But I guess its not about making everything better, just manageable. I have taken biological psych once and what I know is I am getting help with my serotonin, which seems to help a lot, but I was triggered badly and I managed it much better, but was sad that I was feeling better and then still got triggered. I managed it much much better, and recovered quickly. Which is a huge improvement. But now two weeks later I am having the appetite problems. Its not that bad, I do not feel so stressed about it, I am going to make sure I eat one meal a day till my stomach gets back to normal. In the past, years ago, I use to have trouble eating for weeks, but the experience taught me how to make sure I get nutrients I need until the anxiety goes away. Now it only last days, but I notice with medication I feel less stressed about it and confident about my ability to handle it, I am not scared of diving into a dark spiral of ptsd. I just found it interesting how you can expect a cure from meds but get a different kind of experience. Like just a chance to excess things, digest them in a way, and heal. I am excited about healing.
