Hi to all, i hope that you are all ok.
I have had a rough week. I have had major flashbacks of things from when i was a young adult that i have never talked about. i talked to my Therapist about them and i thought things were ok after that. But they are coming and coming fast. I can't stop them they just have to happen. Most of all, i can't stand myself. I don't want to be here anymore. I have been doing a lot of thinking and looking on the internet for help. I have called help-lines and my counselor and also had an appointment with my pdoc. He said there really isn't anything we can do as far as meds go because i have been on so many. He thinking i need a long term hospital stay. My therapist I talked to Thursday night, and things were kinda ok...but now they aren't at all. I have talked to my couple of friend i have and i am afraid to tell them how i am really feeling. Anyways, am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what i can do. I don't want to go to the hospital because i will lose my job, and i can't afford that. Thanks for listening Jenni |

Im sorry Jen29, flashbacks are what i am dealing with too at the moment - I write down everything in my head - I post here - I draw pictures of how I feel - I touch rough surfaces and hold ice in my hands to ground myself - I call friends - I keep busy - and I made an appt with my T - I will hold out till then - can you make an appt with your T ? can you call them?
If talking to your T helped thursday night - maybe it will again - keep posting here too - it helps if you talk about it - its hard to do - but it does help - take care of you P7

sorry you are going thru a rough time. it sounds like your seeing your T helped some. can you see him more often so you can get more frequent support for these feeling? also if you write down/journal what you are feeling when the ptsd takes hold it may help you benefit from that exercise. it certainly helped me alot. please keep us posted, jen. we do care and understand what you are going thru.

I've gotten where you are now myself before. Last year was really bad-I kept having flashbacks on a daily basis&had a hard time dealing w/them because my only support system is my pdoc that I see once a week. It caused lots of problems in my relationship w/my bf. This year we seem to be doing OK, but I do still get flashbacks or get triggered-it really sucks. Hang in there-you might try meditation if you can, don't worry if it seems impossible at first, it's an acquired skill/tool for anxiety dissipation.
