Yeah, I'm a pretty private person and have enabled most of the privacy shit for LJ. It seems we have quite a bit in common. My past is FILLED with stuff you can't really discuss at the dinner table.
I am just starting EMDR therapy. My PTSD is getting out of control...again. Had it dealt with for a while, then more shit happened in my life. Been to a shit ton of therapists. Tried so many meds that it's hard to remember all the names now. Nothing seems to be working now. Have struggled and clawed my way through life and am looking for even a small amount of relief.
Hard to find people who understand. The requirements are not your everyday experiences.
I understand the "stuff you can't say at the dinner table" history. Me too. I've also been through pretty much every psych med in the PDR and literally dozens of therapists and hospitalizations.
It seems PTSD is a cyclical thing, at least in my experience. I'll see improvements, and then something will trigger it to flare up again. But every time I have a flare-up, I'm better able to cope with it, you know? It's definitely less present and overwhelming for me now.
Is it all right if I friend you? I won't be offended if you say you'd rather I didn't--I understand the need for privacy and self-protection.
I'm replying here to a message you left for my brother. Just wanted to say thanks, and I'll save it for him for when he gets home. I added you to his friends so that you don't get lost in the shuffle.
I'm so sorry! I didn't think I defriended you. I've added you back. I didn't even know there was a place for messages and just happened to see them. My cat passed away in April. I'm still heartbroken. Miss her a lot. Are u on facebook? Again, sorry!
No worries. I thought I may have said something that offended you. I'm not one for drama, have quite enough of it in my life already, so I didn't want there to be any weirdness in the de-friending thing.
Gotta tell you though, am glad I didn't comment something offending!
Yes on the facebook.....Jen Denyou is my full name.
p.s. hope you're not some wacko! HA!!!!! You know giving you my name and all!!!
