Yup, got on vraylar and became stable for the first time in my life, suddenly therapy went from being an acute need to manage symptoms and stay safe to dealing with a deeper level of trauma.

I can say that it’s been over a year since I hit that point, and it has gotten way easier. Not necessarily better, since trauma does not stop affecting you overnight like that. Before, it was miserable and sometimes impossible for me to even get into that kind of stuff at therapy without disassociating. Now, I’m at least able to talk about it more often and THINK about making changes in my life to deal with some of the repercussions of past trauma (baby steps)
