Hi emma, welcome to PC and the PTSD forum. I am sorry you have been struggling with these challenging symptoms. I have also experienced some very debilitating and confusing symptoms and it's important to be patient with self and allow yourself as much time as you need to slowly progress in your healing. While I have never heard the term "third eye" used, I can see how some would describe it that way. However, when it comes to recovering from a trauma, it can take the brain quite some time to slowly work through a trauma. When someone experiences a trauma the brain reacts in ways where it tries to defend itself from getting overwhelmed. I have read where the hypo-campus will shut down significantly so it protects itself from being damaged, that as it does this the person often doesn't remember all of the trauma because how the hypo-campus shuts a lot of details out.

I can relate to the dizziness and the headaches as I experienced that myself. I often had to retreat to my bedroom where I was away from everyone and I would just lay down and allow my mind to relax. As time went on I learned that if I did that after about an hour I would actually feel better where I could function again. I gradually learned how these episodes happened because my brain was trying to figure out how to function again "slowly" and I was very sensitive to experiencing an overload where I had to take a time out and be quiet so my brain could slowly regain on functioning a little at a time. The brain doesn't really know what to do with trauma so that's why a person can experience these challenging symptoms.

Are you seeing a therapist? A trauma specialist? I learned that it's important to make sure if you do see a therapist that it be a therapist that is a trauma therapy specialist.
