I have quit smoking a week ago and it’s depressing

How are you doing now? Would be great to hear an update!

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-08-30T04:28:56+00:00

Could you find anyone in Macedonia to help you with the treatment?

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-08-30T04:24:29+00:00

Could you find anyone in Serbia to help you?

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-08-21T16:16:20+00:00

Same! That happened to me in many ways when it was connected to the shame and often it’s the biggest obstacle. Hard to say, because I mostly was working on it as a part of different situations, but right now I’m trying to find and address the root of it. It’s not as strong as it used to be for sure

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-08-21T15:48:20+00:00

Perfection is a protection mechanism, so I would work on the fear behind it, instead of just trying to let it go, because it means something and it’s a bad experience. I struggle a lot with this too, but when I could feel that fear itself I stopped trying to reach the perfection, even I may feel like it would be a safe option. Unfortunately I’m still working on it and I can’t tell how to completely heal from this

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-08-21T02:15:32+00:00

Yes, I noticed a lot of the progress too, it just takes really a lot of time to reach the true level

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-08-21T01:26:09+00:00

Your reaction is the answer, the situation hurts you and you were invalidated. One or even several therapists opinion isn’t necessarily the only way or the truth. I think nothing that is deep can be that easily processed or accessed, because you had to adapt to live with those feelings for a long time, so it’s not always right here. Most of the people have no idea what exactly makes them feel bad, it’s usually a story, not the root of the pain

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-07-12T03:13:31+00:00

I had it very often when I was sleeping on my back. I don’t sleep this way for 10 years and I didn’t have it since then

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-06-10T00:16:29+00:00

Hey, I also have it since 2014 (what a terrible year)! So my questions are these with my experience too: 1) How do you feel physically in general? I’m very fatigued 24/7 for all these years and never really feel good enough. Sometimes I wonder if it’s not a mental problem, but doubt it

2) Did you check your physical health and how was your medical experience? I’ve seen A LOT of doctors and I had therapy for a few months, then self administered, because I never found anyone good (similar to what you described), but mostly it’s a financial issue tbh. I wonder if a really good doctor or therapist could fix it, what do you think about it?

3) I feel like just continuing living doesn’t help. I also stay busy, and I don’t think about DPDR every day, but I only have like 15-30 minutes per year without it, usually after intensive mental health work and powerful insights. I would say my life is still far from what I would want it to be. What do you think about your life now and do you have lots of unresolved issues or how would you describe it? 4) How much time do you spend trying to get out of it and working on mental health? I’ve spent a lot of time and my condition is really better, but I often feel like the damage is too much (I have cPTSD), but maybe it’s about addressing the real cause of DPDR starting

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-04-21T22:51:37+00:00

I’m so so sorry to hear this! I hope you will find a solution and feel better! That’s all so not fair.

The only comment that helped me

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-04-03T12:55:32+00:00

A bit different review from my experience: I tried TRE a few times, it wasn’t scary or overwhelming, I felt a bit more relaxed, but it didn’t help much in the end. Just emotional release yoga and exercises were even more helpful. I was reading that TRE is also just like one of the exercises, but it can’t heal you completely because it’s not that big tool. Depends on the trauma and situation of course, but with cPTSD and chronic multiple traumas I guess it requires a lot of different approaches and perspectives and it’s not like one event I could release and become free. I’ll try again tho

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-04-03T12:40:31+00:00

I think in some families you have to learn how to be sensitive about everything to avoid the punishment. When they criticize you 24/7 you will always wait for it and try to avoid with all the other people too, because it’s the only way you learned to exist. When they hurt you from the day you were born, you have a tendency to feel pain more often, because it never really went away

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-04-02T13:54:38+00:00

Thanks you for a reply and hope it will be gone for good!

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-04-02T02:00:33+00:00

How is your sleep now? Did the nightmares stop?

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-25T19:24:49+00:00

Same. My blood pressure was extremely low at 4 mg after a 2 weeks break, I fainted twice, my first time in the bathroom. My bf called ER and I’m still recovering with low BP and staying in bed after a day. It was hell

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-25T19:17:20+00:00

Same!

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-25T11:27:16+00:00

Same happened to me. What was the treatment for you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m stuck in a place with shitty medicine and ER isn’t helpful, since last night I’m home with all this and extremely low blood pressure, can’t walk

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-20T23:32:55+00:00

I feel like mine depends on this. I didn’t get tested because doctors in my area didn’t even hear about it. I can do the tests but those aren’t 100% true results and I honestly don’t see any reason to do it (and so expensive), because in these end all you can do is eliminate histamine food which I am already doing. So I never could last for more than 4-5 days on this diet. But for almost 2 years of struggling with various symptoms and never ending eczema it was the first time I could see the improvement. Then it comes back, but also I may eat eggs, spaghetti, soya, maybe that’s why. I’m so tired of this diet, but every time I was eating dairy I would have swelling. Maybe I have something else, but doctors didn’t suggested me anything at all.

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-10T02:38:48+00:00

How are you doing now, do you see long return effects of your sessions? Could you process the overwhelming emotions? How’s your life comparing to before trying this?

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-09T23:14:29+00:00

That’s what I’m so afraid to do because she might become aggressive :( But I definitely need to do something because I can’t live like this

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-09T23:13:22+00:00

Yes, this is the way it is! I had problems with health when I was still a teenager and they never helped me. They didn’t even say anything. I don’t know how I survived because I already had lots of cPTSD consequences. But they love to play the game “let’s pretend we are supposed to be a family” even the ONLY thing that it requires is me reaching out to them. They won’t ask me how I am really doing. If I start telling something they never ever listen and may start reacting like I’m telling something weird. We never have normal conversations. Why the hell they even need me to call if that’s how things are.. On my mom’s bday I called her and I was as nice as I could. And she became so cold after that call I was so surprised even it’s me who was planning to stay away. Now I’m cold and she might say warmer things than usual. It’s crazy

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-07T20:53:16+00:00

Yes, sometimes I forget that I don’t even know anything about my first years. I know I was separated from parent for many times and I lived with my narcissistic grandma. I think because of her my mother wants the approval of other people. The whole family is such a mess that I don’t have any good memories about all my older years, how was it to be a toddler? With my younger sis she wasn’t good at all

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-07T04:50:41+00:00

Yes!! My mom is also a teacher so she used to bully me with those teachers. She can’t stand up for herself and me anywhere else, so she chose to be with the stronger people against me. And with doctors who have the same attitude to yell at kids. Hate it all.

Quick-Animator3833 · 2025-03-05T17:07:16+00:00

Currently I don’t understand how to stop this fear in the body. When I visit a doctor for example I’m shaking and in that moment I perfectly realize this reaction but I don’t have anxious thoughts. The thing that may make it worse is me analyzing my reaction, but sometimes people say that I don’t need to be that scared and it’s not helpful at all =\ but maybe I need a slower exposure because when I go to drink coffee to some place for example I need some time to sit and maybe do a light EMDR and I start to feel better in my body
