This anxiety/PSTD thing was so well under control in spring , but this summer has again been a total roller coaster and I have managed to succesfully isolate myself again Emotionally we have as a family dealt with a lot; five funerals since Jan.... two which have been small children. I need hope from my pals here... to make sure I can keep on plugging along. Has anyone tried hypnosis??? Just a tought....

I think one can be healed in that one can gain coping skills to help us when the pain is to great. Your tragedies and losses have triggered you pain again but it will settle in time. Hypnosis i have heard can help some but i don't know really how affective it can be. I was going to try it out for someone i love but my T didn't think it would work much. I still say it wouldn't hurt to try though take care

At this point.... again... I am willing to try anything. That is if I can get out of the house. I really don't want to increase/adjust any medications.... it is always so though on me.

Hello karoliinareddish,

I've seen 2 arguments on whether PTSD can or cannot be cured. I don't think so because I've had therapy and it keeps returning with different triggers and thoughts I do think it is a brain problem for some people who suffer with anxiety and panic as well as phobias. Maybe my official diagnosis of a brain fart is one that could come into play here?

I am told by my partner that I disossicate at least once a day, more often in fact. I don't know what triggers each episode but I know that it is something I can't deal with and that it is connected to some things that happened to me from being age 3 to aged 34. I'm sitting rigid here now just seeing those numbers on the screen in front of me I can feel my body tight as wood.

But I do believe that a good therapist can guide one through the maze of the brain to a remission or halting of the PTSD. Important to note however that it is rarely just PTSD that is a concern or problem and the accompanying issue coud be the key as to whether or not someone will or can be cured.

What are your thoughts?

Agree with your "brain fart" theory
I am just so tired of these panic/anxiety cycles . With the PSTD I should feel better since the individual who caused this to surface in the first place is in prison... for a long time. However, even the tought... gets me very panicky... anxious about locking doors and windows all the time And it does not help that my husband travels quite a bit... Thanks again for your toughts
