A regular regiment of THC based products helps with reducing symptoms to a tolerable level, but it's currently not prescribed
THC and CBD can do so much! I'm glad you at least found that and hope you can sustain the use of it in some way
feel trapped, and I am prepared to murder someone.
Can you in any way find someone to stay with you? Lock your sharp tools for you?
I will look into EMDR further, as I've never heard of it. Reading might help distract the racing thoughts anyways.
I really hope it will distract you and maybe even give you a tool from where to work from. EMDR is hard work in a way, and not a lot of work in another way. It's basically reliving trauma's but in a way that it doesn't feel that intense, by desensitizing your brain through focusing on eye movements. The exact reason why it works isn't even known yet but because so many PTSD has been brought to a zero/almost zero stress level it's being performed anyway. Hope it's within reach for you!
EDIT: I forgot, DSM was updated, so I am cured of agoraphobia now... LOL
Glad you suddenly got cured from at least one! :') The power of the DSM was discussed in my studies many times, it's a very weird 'tool' and very much culturally influences as well. Some stuff in the DSM that's a 'disorder' is just a spiritual belief in others ;-)
Sustaining it is difficult due to legalities and finances, but we are at least to the point where you can have CBD legally in NY state, as well as a growing tolerance towards possession of MJ. The VA knows I use it illegally, and they are supportive at this point, because they are taking the standpoint of "damage control".
I've alerted my social worker of what happened in a voicemail. I am expecting her call shortly, and I'm sure we will come up with a safety plan of some sort.
Interesting indeed.. I performed a bit of ASMR after speaking with you, and opted to minimize my internet use to reduce visual stimulation. It helped. I am in a much calmer state currently, and the racing thoughts have subsided. I will do my best to get into this soon, and will let you know the results. Can't thank you enough for this.
Don't get me going... lol, I'm sure by now, psychologists draw straws when deciding who will be "the next" 🤣
Last one ended in a nice exotic transference with with a young woman just learning the ropes.. Poor thing, I'm sure she learned quite a bit talking to a man like me. She handled it like a pro, as I was the one her told her the transference was happening.
To touch briefly on the MJ again, yeah it's pretty major for people in recovery from addiction and mental health. Sometimes addicts tend to use MJ in an addictive sense, which I generally do, but I remember hitting my head on concrete all the time while drinking, as well as smoking crack under bridges, so I'm cool with a little overuse of MJ..
I had been to rehab 4 times in a couple years, trying to get clean, and started thinking very deeply about "powerlessness", and it being ok to relapse, and surrendering to the idea that I had no control, as well as the idea that smoking pot somehow meant I am still an addict, and of course, I will be an addict forever... One day, I decided that was all complete and utter bullshit to keep a revolving door system funded nicely. A scam in other words, lo and behold, I have two years without a drink, something I couldn't seem to do with the help of rehab, NA, AA. Interesting eh?
THC is tried by many people and it did not help at all. Some people say they sleep easier or feel more sleepy... that is not a cure.
There is way more needed and police will not come to aid. A better start would be to find a safe place to stay/live first without all the triggers.
Depressions also cam be caused by a lack of vitamine D3 and most people have the lack without knowing it. Same with a lack of B12 and too much AGE in the body.
All the other help is useless if there is no safe way to live, if you feel threatened day and night.
