Rough spot.
I have been in therapy twice a week for a little over a year now. Here lately, we have been doing emdr and it feels as if it gets harder each session. The memories and flashbacks are taking a toll. I grew up in a very abusive household and have cptsd from it. I cut off my family because they are horrible people and I don't have any friends because I got tired replacing *** people with other *** people. The world has become very untrustworthy and I feel as if I can't relate to others. Idk, everything is so complicated.

🥺
I'm genuinely sorry you are going through so much.
And therapy sounds tiring 🩷
I'm also sorry you have no support but you are not alone here 🩵
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words ❤
“I know this was posted a few days ago, but I wanted to say I hear how exhausting all of this must be for you. If you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear what even small things help you get through the tough moments.”
Honestly, not much helps. I try to distract myself but it doesn't last long at all
@Tayy2295I can relate to what you said. I'm doing EMDR for CPTSD too and often have difficult days afterwards. But I'm beginning to have breaks in the pattern where I feel better. I hope that you do too.
Thank you ❤ I hope you the best in your healing journey

Hey Tay, we were on the community discussion. I just wanted to say that I'm thinking of you, and take care. Poems sometimes help me feel less alone, I wanted to share one with you. It is kind of bleak, but this one always makes me feel less alone: https://poets.org/poem/starling
And here is a more uplifting one: https://allpoetry.com/poem/15374223-Wild-geese-by-Mary-J-Oliver
Take care, tay.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I'll take a look at it
@Tayy2295 Hello Tayy! I am happy to listen to you and offer a non-judgmental space 🌌

I appreciate that, but no thank you. I'm part of the lgbt community and your profile says you're against that. I do appreciate you though for reaching out.
I am going to start EMDR how do you like the process?
I'll just say that every person reacts differently to it.
I just did a PTSD assessment and my therapist said it showed that I could have PTSD
I I see 3 therapist because of my trauma I never was able to talk about things until I became an adult
People are less likely to keep their trauma inside as they get older.
