Thank you so much Adia. It was painful to write all that out. A part of me really wants to help people understand the world I live in and let others like me know they are not crazy. What they went through was crazy. I did not develop these odd symptoms and extreme fears/depression for no reason.
I have been through 3 therapists, before I found the right one. She has no experience with repressed memories, but that does not matter to me. What matters is that she shows more compassion and concern than any I have met.
I am so glad you have help. The doc offered Seroquel to me to help me sleep. He said at low doses this med is very helpful for sleeping and may help my hypervigiliance. I see things move in the corner of my sight all the time. I find I tend to self rock a lot too when under great stress. I am extremely jumpy with sounds or touch. Just can not handle watching much of what is on tv either. These are just some of the aftermath of trauma for me.
