PTSD and Me

[Furyan66]

Fury you've had two major life events recently - your bereavement and the threat of loosing job - I think that would be very difficult for anybody - and you're also contending with PTSD - that's really hard.  

You may be having intrusive thoughts along with the mood swings - in the event you are having these thoughts do you think you might be able to contain them?   Have a container - to get rid of the thoughts so they are not in your head?

I agree music is very therapeutic - I'm listening to Thin Lizzy (God bless Mr Phil Lynott).  I pray this pain you've been through alleviates and you start eating meals every day, sleep at night and find some calm after the turmoil.  Sending best wishes,

Thanks Charon, I know you are always there to listen. You are the sweetest (Unless someone breaks the rules LOL)

Hey BlackSocks Thanks too for just reading. My psychologist told me that I have "racing thoughts" which is what you might be referring to. It's very difficult for me to just relax body and mind at the same time. I can get physically calmed down but my mind is still racing with thoughts.

Even when I sleep, I still have dreams 16 years later that are so vivid about the event which my Psychologist believes was the main triggering effect in my being diagnosed with PTSD. Strange thing with these dreams is that most of the time I am dreaming I am actually aware of the dream. It like part of my mind is still awake reminding me this is a dream.

Some say time heals all wounds..

I do not agree

Thanks all for caring

Peace all
