thoughts on ptsd...
i have a condition called PTSD and what i have come to realize is that a lot of people tell you “don't focus on the past.” even my therapist has said this to me. don't get me wrong i love her as a therapist but she really shouldn't have said that. people have told me “to get over it” or “you'll be ok”
like no, I'm sorry I'm not “focused “ on my past i simply have flashbacks and i can not control them. yes I'm sure that self care techniques and grounding as well as other coping mechanisms will help me, or so thats what my therapist says. i iwsh it would help me but it doesn't and i dont know that im in the past until im in the past and she wants me to try and stop a flashback before it even happens.... that really isnt possible for me. like thank you but i cant really do that...
and its hard whenever you know that you do have knowledge about what is wrong with you but that wont really help much in the long run because yes these things we are speaking of rn may help lessen the symptoms, but i personally along with others, i am sure.. think that its not going to ever go away completely. i just might not always be bad im hoping...
i may have BAD days and i may have GREAT days but that doesnt mean im “cured” thanks to some coping skills. just saying if thats working for you guys then great thats good to hear honestly. this is just my blog post and vent or rant about it \_/ dont come at me pls. thank you for reading my posts if you made it this far.
more thoughts to come!

A fight response is triggered when a person suddenly responds aggressively to something threatening. A flight response is triggered when a person responds to a perceived threat by fleeing, or symbolically, by launching into hyperactivity. A freeze response is triggered when a person, realizing resistance is futile, gives up, numbs out into dissociation and/or collapses as if accepting the inevitability of being hurt. A fawn response is triggered when a person responds to threat by trying to be pleasing or helpful in order to appease and forestall an attacker.

starting #edmr therapy soon. i won’t go too much into detail about my situation and why i’m choosing to go. but lets just say that i was raped a few years ago and its coming back strongly with the ptsd again and its also been off and on for the past few years anyways, so im just honestly trying to go really to get rid of the emotional attachment to the memories from that one event and even maybe more that i cant really recall from the event. i know it wont be a cure for my ptsd but it may help me in the long run to process it some more. i do wonder if ill still get flashbacks? i know its not a cure all but i wonder about it.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

I’m genuinely ready for the deep, intellectual conversations. Not the ones that only happen at night, but the ones that happen in the middle of the day; in the morning. Where you can spill out whatever it is that’s been going around and around in your mind to the person that’s right there with you. I cannot wait to find that extremely special person. I know that they’re definitely out there, somewhere.
