Cant control my mind.

dontgiveuponmedontgiveuponmeMember
two..now almost three weeks now..Ive been feeling ..just..somewhere else.
An old symptom came back. ..
My body hurts and recently my arms and my upper body started cringing...at loud noises, like a loud person nearby, or the door closing, or a lady in heels walking really really loudly.

It makes me cringe and my body hurts, it aches a lot. and I feel scared. While Im getting to class, putting my backpack down, taking out my notebook...my mind is replaying my mom yelling at me, or something from my past...

Im here but not here

and not only do I feel it physically....
I feel helpless.
I feel alone
like...I did then..like i cant tell anybody the secret, cant tell anybody whats happening in my head, because its so much..so long...and my T is only human..

and she cant fix it..
I worry im gonna cringe in her office tomorrow...I cant stop doing it..and it hurts ..it actually causes me pain..as if I really got slapped or kicked.
Frowner

T tomorrow....and I feel so apathetic about it.

I found some school records of mine as a kid..I was thinking of showing her all the bad comments from K-12th grade...but idk if ill do it.

DGUOM, those sound like pretty classic PTSD symptoms, but they sound really awful to live with. I am so sorry for what you had to endure and still do Frowner I really believe you can heal from them eventually though. In the mean time you have us for support, and I hope you're able to share what you want to share with your T. That's what she's there for.

DGUOM: The other day my body was cringing like that at a soft sound. It ran right through me. It happened last year when things got too much for me at my previous place I lived. Every time someone walked across the floors above me, my entire body felt it. I was on such an edge and close to panic attacks. It didn't hurt but my body reacted.

I know what you are going through. Please keep strong. I know its not easy. I know its so easy to curl up and face away from the world. I'm terrible at it. I give up too much. I need constant presence of people around me to ensure that I'm safe.

Everyday just know that you, we, all of us, were all healing and that is why we are here on these forums. Smiler You are not alone. xxx

forgetmenot, im sorry u have to go through things like this too, Smiler thank u though, for helping me feel less alone..it definitely helps me get through the day to know Im not just some nutcase with a wierd problem that nobody else has.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
