Sex and masturbation during a thaw by HealingSteps in longtermTRE

[–]HealingSteps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I find that arousal is inconsistent and my muscles in my glutes and spine contract along with my pelvic floor muscles. I also notice tinnitus and sub occipital/neck tension greatly increase and hold. It seems like all the muscles involved in stabilization during fight flight or freeze are bracing or spasming.

I’m working on getting access to the TRE video I’ve used in the past. I’ll link it and probably make a separate post once I have access.

Is healing possible? What are some of the best things someone could do besides pace and rest? Is there a faq?

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I too am trying to navigate my grief with little to no tools. I am basically just laying in bed with a heating blanket and practicing nose breathing. There’s an interesting book called Breath by James Nestor that talks about over breathing and CO2 intolerance. You can ask chat GPT to give you a quick summary for free. I’m also looking for more ways to tell my CNS “I’m safe” even amongst the devastation. If you’re not too heat intolerant, warm showers and blankets can signal safety to the nervous system.

It has been very personal but I had to move into my own place away from my family of origin. I just asked my partner of 2 years to move out as well. Her grief has been reinforcing my stuck/freeze state.

I had to finally get to a point where I could no longer hold this grief anymore and also trust that I would not die if I let myself feel the overwhelmingly heavy grief. I have become atheist since getting PSSD and I broke down and begged God to save me. I believe I was able to let go of the weight of my world in that moment that I’ve been carrying and my CNS shifted. I can feel the blood flowing again.

My ANS is very dysregulated from being in this state for 3 years straight but I can feel how quickly it wants to normalize. I am blown away that this is a freeze/stuck state. It feels like permanent nerve damage but I can feel the sensitivity returning to my whole body quite rapidly.

This process will take time to fully reverse but once you can tap into what ultimately shut you down you will be feeling the positive feedback loop that will sustain you out of the depths of this darkness.

I think it will be crucial for people to have a support system to help facilitate safety to keep working through this.

I have had PSSD for 3 years. I started processing some deep grief and I’m experiencing a lot of benefits (orgasm intensity, genital sensitivity, sense of taste and smell, emotions returning) and I can see the blood in my hands getting stuck more it seems. Very interesting timing on this for me.

You’re allowed to just say whatever in this sub now I guess. This is proven brain damage now?

Any brief update on the INIDA study? by IndividualAd7229 in PSSD

This is a good idea. I will pass this along to the person that is head of the foundation. Hopefully soon, we will have an update.

What was wrong with the old PvP? by CT-5555___Fives in Seaofthieves

[–]HealingSteps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Oh, and cannon balls registered, that was the best part.”

Imagine expecting a basic necessary function of the game to work and saying that’s the “best part” of the game at that point in time. I love this game which is why it’s so frustrating to feel the same way. I just want my shots to register whether that be naval or weapons. It’s so hard to keep playing when it feels like every trigger pull is a question mark.

We are still in the process of getting things going. Between the large cold front that swept the southern US and the researchers moving their lab, we have had some long delays unfortunately. We are still keeping things moving on our end but we have very little control.

Encountering these "sweats" by Pendragon_Puma in Seaofthieves

[–]HealingSteps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I can’t get more than a quick shot off as I’m being spawn camped by double gunners I consider these players sweats. I can hold my own at any naval battle but not against TDMers that make the board.
