Our stories are very similar I was sexually abused and raped by my brother from the ages of 6 to 13 I had not been dealing with everything for a long time and then at the beginning of this year I made a commitment to start dealing with it and it ended up attacking my body and the form of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures in doing my research on the disorder I discovered EMDR is a very strange process but it works I also have worked my way through the courage to heal it is an awesome book and it's helped a lot thank you for telling your story

Diagnosis confirmed start working on it hardcore Monday cognitive behavior therapy on Monday and then EMDR on Tuesday this will continue  weekly until there are no more episodes I can not work or drive now the amount of things that my brother has taken from me is astronomical 😡

  always about them

Well it happened again I am now on a constant video EEG to see if that pnes is indeed what this is   

  so I passed out at work and they couldn't wake me up I was cleared as normal on just about every test they gave haven't got the EEG results back yet but the doctor said he thinks what it is is non epileptic seizures and in reading the information about non epileptic seizures he could be right I just recently started diving into my past I've been to the new counselor two times and have been looking up many articles and books on post-traumatic stress disorder and their chapters on childhood sexual abuse I guess I'm more looking for information on if this is happened to anyone else

Is there a lower grade than f

Yes absolutely an incomplete that is what your mother left you with an incomplete life I'm sorry or what happened to you I know my sorry doesn't help it at all but I can completely relate

First meeting went well go again on Monday I have been doing some research on the subject and I think I'm ready to drive in full force 

  called and made the appointment first meeting is Monday at 4

I wasn't in denial I've never denied what has happened to me I just skirted around the subject because I wasn't really there for me I was there because other people told me I needed counseling

I am terrified about what will happen but in finding these forums I'm going to take the next step and try counseling again
This'll be my roughly third fourth attempt it always turns into just talking about daily things instead of the stuff I really need to talk about
I think the thing that will be different this time versus last several times if I'm doing it for myself nobody is asking me to do this
My life is just been abysmal in my mind to this point and I need to take control of the reins again
I want to thank everyone who post on here I just found this site today and have become somewhat obsessed but in a good way

I know this is an old post but thank you for the link

Even though it says non-habit-forming Unisom is the only thing that allows me to sleep at night

My heart is beating so fast knowing that there are other people that get the same feeling when I look in the mirror it's absolutely terrifying I have some days where my anxiety is so high that I do get scared when I look in the mirror but I try to tell myself that's not him it doesn't always work that I'm not him it doesn't always work I hate but this has taken over my life not many people know  my true story even though I posted that to Facebook there are many people but I don't know if they ever read it

Hopefully your flashbacks fade and thank you for the previous poster for the app information I just downloaded and checked it out it looks interesting I will investigate more later
