I’m dealing with some really horrible PTSD for 33 weeks now, today actually.

Moving back home to Tennessee in Jan and not being able to see my old T has me at there other office and seeing a New T.

Ugh ugh ugh today was session 5

I’m very blunt, I want Therapy to freaking help. Thus far he really has no advice, I have thought “ well he needs to get to know me” blah blah blah

Today’s session? He said maybe it will just take you a year to process it.

WTF ??????

I have to start calling even if I wind up having to drive and hour or more for a freaking T that actually will help me.

I’m sick of the daily counting, the nightmares every freaking night.

Why be a freaking T if they have no clue how to help someone ? If you can’t help me just tell me !!!

I’m so beyond frustrated

I'm so sorry your old T wasn't able to be there for you. I agree he should be helpful by now! Have you thought about looking specifically for a trauma therapist?

I don’t know what to say; I just posted a message in the C-PTSD forum earlier today about my T. She helped me with work stress but makes the PTSD worse by bringing it up all the time without offering coping strategies.

I’m looking into EMDR therapy; it is supposed to work. I’ve been watching YouTube videos of Shapiro (the creator).

I hope you find someone good, and soon!

I am going to start calling Therapists. I was hoping to avoid having to drive an hour + but I’m willing to make it happen if I don’t I’ll wind up telling my husband at some point to drive me 110 miles North where the IP is that I go to.

I don’t post under the ptsd forum as that triggers me, go figure.

I was watching a movie last night and it showed a gun and it was what happened and I went right into a huge panic attack , one of the worst ever .... I was so close to passing out. I would have preferred to pass out to be honest.

Life shouldn’t be this hard.

Thanks Nammu

EMDR Is something I’m willing to try. Hell I have been researching if ECT would help.

I’m sorry you deal with this hell too
