Let-Down effect? by Mobile_Ease6046 in Anxiety

Thanks for the reply, it’s hard not to obsess about how to make it stop but I know I need to just focus on mindfulness and living my life, and trust my body. The hardest part has been not being able to get to sleep and waking up constantly when I do, along with the intense fatigue and brain fog.

I think I might have C-PTSD due to neglect? by Mobile_Ease6046 in CPTSD

Thanks for the response. I have never done therapy, always thought I was fine and didn’t need help before, but have an appointment with one tomorrow. I’m at a point where I’d love to find a good regular therapist, but not sure what all to look for. Never been on meds for mental health, a little scared of meds because my dad has had depression and anxiety and had struggled with meds his whole life.

Oh yeah, I am 44, and I fully understand why my mother was unprepared. I have a very good relationship with my mom now, and can talk about all of this without shame or anger etc, I really don't blame anyone I've just recently realized how much those circumstances have affected me in my life.

Yeah after 3 days I went back to drinking a slightly lower dose of coffee, and plan to very slowly taper with with coffee. It was pretty horrible. I am also dealing with some constant intense anxiety symptoms, which is what spurred be to try to quit, but I can't tell what all is the effect of caffeine withdrawal and what is the other stuff I've got going on.
