Hi Fuzzy! It’s nice to see a familiar bear here

My therapist just told me yesterday I have complex PTSD. I thought maybe I had BPD, but both she and my pdoc say I don’t have BPD. I have an answer anyway. I’ve been confused because I have so many symptoms.

Don't know

Hi KT. Hope you're OK. I'm afraid I don't know enough to be able to tell if you're pleased with the diagnosis...

I hope it's positive news. You are a joy to have around, and deserve only good things

Hi Purple. Thank you so much for your kind and caring response—as usual I might add! And you are wonderful to be around. You and Fuzzy both!

I’m finding myself feeling a little anxious. I’ve been making progress in the past few weeks. I guess I just wasn’t ready to hear this. But what really changed? Nothing really, except for a label, and possibly a way for me to better understand what I can do.

Hi, Fuzzy--

Been busy with physical therapy, holiday preparations, and other distractions. Also had some PTSD issues come up that I talked to my pnurse about.

Hope you're doing okay.

A Warm Hello,

I drop in now and then, as the forum moves so slowly.
I am dealing with a lot of C-PTSD again. It seems to come to the surface in waves. Also dealing with depression and physical conditions.

I hope everyone is as well as can be right now.
Love to All.

I’m back. I’ve been working full time. I also go to another website exclusively for people with complex ptsd. I can give you the name of it in private messaging if you like.

I am new to this check in, but I will try to check in here in the future. So far today is ok. I go to see my T today. I have been very depressed lately. I don't know why. Might be not sleeping good, or the weather, or the holidays, I don't even have a tree up this year.

Having to spend a lot of time at the hospital. Close relative very ill with an infection, requiring surgery. Had a brother die of similar circumstances a few years ago. Very triggering.

I hope others are as well as can be.

Warm hugs.

Hanging on grimly. Grateful for a very comforting, though gruelling last session of the year with R.

I am Wishing Everyone a Good Christmas Eve, and a Very Merry Christmas. I have to go to my Mother, and Sister in laws. I am very depressed, and have been for a few weeks, and I don't feel like going anywhere, or doing anything. But it is better going today, and not having to deal with everyone tomorrow.

Hope the holidays are peaceful for everyone.

Thankfully the episode on Thanksgiving resolved itself, and now I'm left with a sense of dread about 2018. Still will try to keep myself going and not dwell on other things.

Not much going on here today. My husband is taking a nap. I went and got the mail. Later, when my husband wakes, we will watch the movies we got in the mail from Netflix. I already cleaned my kitchen, and delivered a few cards that I didn't get done before Christmas, so I guess my day is going ok.

Today has gone ok. I was able to get one of my regular meds, that had been messed up, taken care of. I am going to see if my primary Dr. will take over this med from my orotho. because I recently found out that my bones are very brittle, and ortho. can't do anything more for me, so I hope my primary will take over. Wish me luck, and I take all the prayers I can get. All these different Drs. gets expensive.

I had an emotionally exhausting therapy session and I do not want to be human anymore.

I didn't get EMDB Therapy scheduled today & now I'm feeling anxious about doing it. Scared to trust another person with my traumas. It might not work for me. I don't expect to be cured. I would just like to find some better coping mechanisms so I can live with these involuntary physiological/emotional trigger responses. Seems EMDB is more successful with single trauma vs multiple trauma survivors. Have any of you experienced EMDB?

Do you mean EMDR?

Are you talking about EMDR? I don't know what EMDB therapy is?

No problem. Yes, I did a short EMDR session and it didn't work out for me for several reasons. The practitioner was not qualified and there was too much trauma for that practice. It's not scary, and you need to approach it with an open mind, and try to relax. The practitioner should make it a safe environment for you and stop if it gets to be too much. You have to trust the practitioner.

EMDR saved my life but I had a great therapist that always checked in on me between sessions. I had build up trust and connection to allow myself to release some of the walls I had about and to allow myself to be vulnerable with him.
