Decided to stop being a silly cunt and start on some medication. Was fully against it because I don't think the pills are the answer to my problems but will hopefully help me control my anger problems.
Has been a really rough past week for me as, terrible flashbacks and body memories. Keep repeating the same memories over and over again, ones of my mum and one of the men sexually abusing me. I remember so much violence and verbal abuse too.
Having a terrible time at the moment, absolutely terrible.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
Sorry to hear of the rough symptom week. Gentle support while you ride it out. May it carry you to a healing shore.
They have put me on meds for depression an anxiety, and personally that has never helped me. I have never been on meds for anger. Idk. I hope they can help you some.
I think of it this way. If I go to the dentist to get a filling, I am sure as heck not going to get that tooth filled without freezing! If I get sick and require meds, I am going to take them. Well PTSD is an illness.
((hugs)))
I have found therapy won't work without meds. I need my moods stabilized. That's just how my brain malfunction is.
...I will never, ever think you are a silly cunt.
Humans often give REALLY bad advice, so it's mostly better to let advice you are given percolate in your head for a time before deciding it really is a sound course of action.
Skepticism is prudence.
