I've not been around here in a while...but I need support at the moment..I'm really struggling..

To update, I suffer from recurrent depression, dissociation, and PTSD.

Its the PTSD that's troubling me at the moment (exacerbated by efexor withdrawal..)

Its the hyper-vigilance and flashbacks and startle response....I'm scared of people..

getting flashbacks to when the bullies chased me and laughed at me and threw things at me...scared...

wish I knew how to stop this pain....

none of my meds help..only therapy (and I don't have any today cos of bank hol) and visualisation helps...I can't seem to ground myself when I'm around people...I just panic and get out of control, lots of times...

how do others manage the hyper-vigilance?
