Weird/ freaky physical symptoms you have due to PTSD ?

I just wanted to share and if your willing to keep an opened mind. Read about chakra’s. You can take it or leave it, but it can be a very interesting read.

The connection between sacral chakra and sexual assault is fascinating, and I have started learning some healing routines that are for healing the sacral chakra that tend to open the flood gates. Powerful stuff. Mind-body connection is not magic, it just is.

Since starting on CBD oil, I have recognized how completely frozen inside I have been all of these years and do agree that the inability to breathe properly is because my muscles are frozen solid.

I have been practicing my own style of breathing for years just because I was so tired of hearing 'breathe'. WTF? I AM breathing!!!! But I saw something from van der Kolk I think it was about trauma being about losing a sense of time and that in order to reestablish order and pull oneself out of timelessness, to make our own time by counting our breath. It works for me.

So during my 'good times' when I wasn't affected - I would practice breathing
5 count in
space of 2 counts
5 count out
space of 5 counts

It works very well for me when I start to feel that 'timeless' feeling.

So I guess what I am suggesting is not worrying as much about the depth of breath right away but rather teach yourself to breathe to count. Practice often. Then work on the depth of the breath.

Hmm, so I've been meaning to order @Freida 's CDB oil from diamondcbd.com for ages now and just went to do it and it seems they don't ship outside of the US. :bag:

Where are you located Sophy?

 

[Deleted member 47099]

Europe. I think I'll start a thread later asking whether the CBD oils on Amazon.com are any good or if ppl know of CBD oil sources that ship outside of the US.

Edit to add: I also emailed the diamond website to ask whether they'll ship to Europe...

 

[Freida]

Well crap -- I didn't realize they don't' ship internationally. Good idea to ask them --maybe they can make an exception for someone who tracks them down LOL

I have all that you described on your OP too.
Do you take psych meds? My pdoc said they make these matters worse.

Also, breathing problems = anxiety... you know that already, probably. I usually lay in bed and switch to "manual deep breathing". I'm also known for doing breathing exercises in public, people do stare however ? but I don't think anyone really gives a crap lol

Hope CDB oil helps. Not sure where in Europe you're located, but there are EU based companies that ship throughout Europe, might worth having a look. Check out the legalities in your country, it's not legal in mine.
