Another long day of fighting symptoms. Had to get a new cell phone, and it's way cooler than the previous one. Now I can synch more automatically, which leaves more time for other stuff.
We're really struggling with maintaining our balance. Is it more changes in the diet, or something else?
Our tolerance for stimulants is still almost non-existant. When anger flashes happen, we feel like we're bouncing off the walls trying not to black out. You have to fight back, and you feel exhausted by the end of the day.
This week we finish with the current therapist. No new place to go yet. Part of the frustration at times is feeling like we almost have to cure ourselves. Will we always have symptoms hanging over us?
Deep breathe. Try to focus on things around you. Despair is still there. Emptiness at times is debilitating. I don't know what to tell my little kid at times. Despite that, we set boundaries and try to really stick to them.
When anger is really severe we feel like we're going to black out. Does this still happen to you?
Since there's no instant cure for trauma, how do you deal with it? Break it down into small increments so it feels "manageable".
