Hi,

I hope this is ok I just needed to reach out to people who might understand.  I have been to T today and she has said she has been talking to the colleagues she was going to refer me to on to when my weekly T finishes with her in three weeks, I will see her for review over 6 months and then it will finish completely. 

She said that her colleagues have advised that I would need to not be dissociating anymore and would be able to ground myself/ handle my emotions better than I can now in order to get this further therapy.

I am devastated as I don't know how to do this, I had a dissociative episode where I couldn't hear her after she told me this.

I don't know how I am supposed to get better, I feel so trapped.

Take Care

Hi,

I hope everyone is doing ok? I have been to the docs today and she has prescribed me beta blockers and diazepam, to deal with the panic/anxiety so hopefully it will let me get to a place where I can work on the grounding and relaxation.

Has anyone else been on this and how did it go?

Thanks, take care everyone x

Hi,

I often find that I can recall very little of what my therapist has said in the therapy session and not much of what I have said either.  This is hard as not getting as much as I could out of therapy sessions and I also find it really scary.

Does this happen to anyone else, am I disassociating and how do I stop please?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I feel like I am in a constant place of panic and fear at the moment and have been taught some self soothing methods when I'm in the house such as wrapping myself in a blanket and having a bath.  I have tried imagining a safe place but only seem to get so far before I panic again, the same goes for mindfulness.  I am really struggling though to find some things to do to self self soothe when I have a panic attack or emotional flashback when I'm out, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I am looking for some advise I am currently on fluoxetine for depression and anxiety which has recently been increased to 60mg a day as my symptoms have increased (I had already been on 40mg for the last five years). I don't feel like it's working anymore, is it possible for this to happen, does anyone else have any experience of this?

Thanks

Hi,

I have recently been diagnosed with Complex PTSD and am currently seeing an nhs psychotherapist, although this is due to finish at the end of November, as I can only have so many sessions.  I have flashbacks, nightmares and suicidal thoughts.  I felt I was making some progress but I was recently humiliated at work in a meeting by my manager and although thus sounds like very little and probably a bit pathetic of me, I feel more scared, depressed and am having more flashbacks all over again.i can't explain it to my partner or anyone it just seems ridiculous.

Thanks for reading
