CPTSD won't let go of me
I'm trying so hard to get well and get past a ton of trauma. I have some pretty awful physical ailments due to the anxiety of my condition. I get so worried I'm ruining my health unknowingly. Some of my issues I can't control. I stopped taking prescription anti anxiety meds because my Dr was concerned I've been taking them for 3 - 4 years. Since I stopped taking them 4 months ago I'm really struggling with my anxiety. I have CPTSD something awful. One of my neighbors turned on a weed whacker and I about had a stroke. Sometimes I think I'll never get well.
I've tried some natural remedies and meditation but it's not helping. My anxiety is worse than people around me know. Ive been dealing with anxiety for decades. Since I was a really young child. It's almost like a part of my DNA at this point.
Anyone else jumping out of their skin so to speak ?
Pray for me 🙏

I'm really sorry for your condition, I hope everything improves in the near future. I'll be glad if you write me how you're doing, we could discuss everything in more depth.
It must be really hard to deal with something like this for so long.
If a doctor thinks stopping medication is a good idea, I hope it really is. I believe in it.
You are a strong person, I am very pleased that you wrote here and I see that you have the strength to improve. You can do it. I'm afraid you'll have to work on it for a long time.
I hope for your best.
Hi ABB
@Any1a1
Thank you for the supportive words. I have had one of the biggest struggles in my life in the last 4 years. I have a mountain of challenges I have had to get through and I feel hopeful I am going to survive them. I have to say that 7cups has been incredibly helpful to me so I could navigate through all my overwhelming issues. Therapy and medication have been instrumental in all of this. I needed to accept help and it took me awhile to see this. I hope 7cups is as enlightening for you as it was for me. Best always, ABB
I can relate to alot of what you wrote. I'm Devon I have complex kinds of trauma.
