I'm sorry to hear that things are so rough for you, MINIME.

You will make it through. It won't be easy and, quite frankly, it will suck big time, but in the end you will still be standing.

PC will be right here with you.
Thanks for this!

You guys give me a lot of hope in my own ability. Thank you. I just am scared because i am on only a very low dose of anti depressant. I just start having doubts when things hit and then my body reacts. I hate that I have to do this. Its not fair. My emdr therapist thinks that I am so used to shutting off my body sensation or fighting them and then emdr is trying to make a connection that its making things hard. I think she is right. All the things that my childhood taught me was that my body made my life hard. It had needs I couldnt meet and I had to shut it off and now i am an expert at it. Alot of my flashbacks are in the form of body memories. I am sure she is right I spent alot of my childhood in a dissacoiated place. Trying to connect the two back together is probably hard to do. I am not sure what you guys can do except maybe read what i write and keep encouraging me. Thanks so much.

I am so sorry you have to go through this.
Please let me know if you need anything. I am going through EMDR, too. So far, things aren't too bad. Just high anxiety.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for this!

HI Minnime,

Anniversarries are a hard thing to get through - mine is in November too - we can both get through this - i tell myself its just a day - i know it's not but i can tell you that this year for me is not as bad as last year - still bad but i have more tools to help this year and i hope its the same for you - you can get through this because you have before and its the aniversarie not the actual day and if you survived that day you can survive this - the day will come and go and everyone here is here to support you through it .

Take Care P7
