My T did not want me to start disclosing the memories that I was having, because by the time we got to that, there was only 15 minutes left in the session. He did not feel that it would be good for me to open wounds and then leave here in a short amount of time.

So, we set up another appt for me on Saturday - in addition to my usual Thursday...and group T on Tuesday....so we can focus specifically on the memories....

Wish me luck....

Good luck mixedup!

I hope that the T did give you tips to help make it through with your inner turmoil until Saturday does come. Kudos to you for bringing up the the struggle you are battling. Best wishes!

I have missed yet another day of work today because of all of this. Suffering severe panic attacks.....shaking, crying, extreme nausea, vomiting, butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I can't shake it.

I called my primary doctor today and have an appt this afternoon. I am hoping he can give me something to help me through this. I am already on an antidepressant, but perhaps some adjustments need to be made with the meds to help me get through this.

I have some Steve Halpern CD's that I could listen to.....or take a nice bath....or use my exercise bike to burn off the negative energy....

But, I seem to be stuck in this funk of wallowing in my panic.

My primary dr gave me Abilify to start using instead of the Lexapro that I've been on.....We'll see if it helps.

I've been on Abilify before and had major restless legs side effects...but he put me on a new lower dose.

Do you want to explain this more? I'm not sure that I understand.......
