Hey there
Hello everyone. 42 male here from south carolina. Hope you all are hanging in there these days. I struggle primarily with major depressive disorder and have since about 14 years old. Planning to start emdr therapy soon so fingers crossed.
Take care!

Hello, Brinnar. Wishing you all the best moving forward with emdr.
Hoping it will open more ways for you, to regulate the stressors that comes with
depressive episodes. You are doing so great for giving it a try. I am not familiar with it myself, but know about emdr being a therapy that many find helpful. Hoping this is the case for you as well. Very best wishes from Norway.
@brinnar0603 i didnt know what emdr therapy was, so i googled it. i would like to know how it goes, as ive never had it and i might would like to try it. i have ptsed, bpd, depression and anxiety. i have past trauma events that i need to overcome.
Hey @ambitioushope1234 i will try to keep you in the loop. I just started and the first few sessions are standard therapy but if you search youtube for emdr itll give you a run down and there are self administered videos which i tried and stopped cause it was making me remember a lot of past stuff that i need guided hell with.
