Thank you for everyone's input! Needless to say I am still having trouble with intrusive memories, albeit, they aren't as bad as they were three months ago right after my retraumatization!
I have been getting active. I got back into woodwork, FORCED myself to take up a creative task of some kind. I also started playing video games again, sinking hours into video games got my mind onto something else - didn't matter what else - JUST SOMETHING ELSE. I am trying to rewire my brain to work in ways that benefit a healthy and productive lifestyle. Hoping I can do this more and more.
The physical elements of healing I have also been trying more and more. I am running a few times a week, trying to stretch a couple times a week, eat well, etc.
I am waking up almost every-night in panic and anxiety. My body is on full alert when I wake up and I cannot shut it off.
Thanks,
HD7970ghz
