danni Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi Only Human... It's nice to see a familiar name. I'm sorry to hear your going through a rough patch. Are you still in therapy so you have a safe place to sort out what's going on in your head? I wish I could make it better but with trauma and even with medications there's an ebb and flow and ups and downs that go with it. The hard part is weathering the storm. What are the coping strategies in your toolbox that can help you? You've been dealing with this for a long time and I admire your committment and perseverence in getting through to the other side. You're doing good work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvnJ22 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hey folks. I thought I'd drop in to an old familiar place..I'm feeling a bit out of whack..having a hard time. I've had crazy stuff going through my head and I'm feelin' pretty down. I'm not sure what I need...maybe I just need to be heard? I went through a phase where I thought the meds were working but now it doesn't appear that way at all. I'm not sure where to go, who to talk to, or what to do.Hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrmaJean Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I hear you. Though the scars may always remain, I hope you can find a space for healing.Do you think it could be helpful to go back to therapy, OH? What is it that you want to do, if not running or reading? Sending care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finding my way Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Is there a loop of thinking that has a hold on you? Standing outside of the loop can make the difference, but of course it can also be what is so hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danni Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I know people who are in therapy for many years. when things are tough they go more frequently and when things are going better they may just check in every month or so.

danni Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 That would be a good conversation to have with your therapist. You could get some reassurance that your therapist isn't going to "quit" on you. Yes wine....wine is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finding my way Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Can we help with that one? I agree with Danni that it would be an important conversation to have-- it could really help with this fear. We are here to support you with how this is for you.

finding my way Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I just meant thoughts that repeat and keep repeating...The support I was imagining was standing by if that is helpful while you reach past the uncomfortable place of calling your therapist. If that isn't what you want, that's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danni Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sounds like a good time to call. I know you say you don't want to....but I was wondering.....after you see your therapist, do you feel any relief, even temporarily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
