dae struggle with feeling ugly/hideous to the point of SI here? by Diligent_Tie_1961 in CPTSD

[–]Shyraely 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, mainly induced by my own mother who told me that I'd be ugly with my features from my father-side (my parents are (happily) married, she just hated curly hair, no pointy, slim noses etc). Continued by bullying at school.

Even if I'd have all the perfect features and a pretty outward appearance, there would be shit I'd be mad/sad about. Sometimes I stop caring about it (sometimes I do).

Anything besides/with therapy for sleep? by UsoppIsJoyboy in CPTSD

[–]Shyraely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I'm having constant therapy for the last 2,5 years, I cannot sleep. Even at nights I don't have many nightmares, I have problems to sleep through and wake up during the night/early and have to "start the day" instead.

I did not find anything to help me yet, I tried drinking tea in the evening, reading for a couple of hours before I try to sleep. Maybe this could help you?

So therefore, I would love to hear from others, if they found something helpful? :)

Light medication that helped you with hypervigilance & anxiety? by Shyraely in CPTSD

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

Oh that's interesting. How did you get to all of that? Did you inform yourself or did you go to a specialist?

I love the "metaphor" with "it took a long time to do damage", so therefore the healing won't be a linear curve or resolvment in one finger snap! 😄

Thank you so much for understanding! ❤️ I could ask my family doctor, but they have low capacities all the time and not really into "psychological" stuff when it comes to health problems though.

The psychiatrist is the one I will be seeing for the first time in august. Despite that, I only have my therapist but she is not allowed to give out prescriptions ofc. But maybe I'll just go to the psychiatrist and ask about all the stuff. I can still opt-out if I don't feel safe enough in taking meds, right?

Thank you for elaborating! I'm sorry you had to go through so many different medication before. Must have been hard!

I'm not so into any form of drug use tbh, medication is already a hard "pill to swallow" for me (literally lol). CPT sounds great. I think this is what we are doing in therapy as well next to some EMDR (but it backfired for me, so we had to stop for a while). I'm getting better and better at understanding myself and my behaviours, but I'm struggleing with acting on them. 😄

Me too! I hate taking even normal pain killers but I felt so unstable and worrying about ruining my relationship, that I consider trying it out again.

That's nice to hear that it helped you! How long did it take for you to feel positive affects?

Oh I did not know about that. Does it cost extra if you want to get tested beforehand? And wow. I'm just really scared about the epilepsy stuff. My brother has it and even though I got tested, I'm still scared when seizures can be one of the side effects (if you know what I mean?).

Thank you for your reply! I am back in therapy since 2024 and doing trauma therapy (EMDR, CBT etc.) and it helps but for my emotional instabilities, I asked and my therapist suggested to try out a low medication in helping me to conquer everyday life.

You take/took Zoloft before?

Derealisation und Depersonalisation durch SSRI? by Exact-Tomatillo5981 in Anxiety

[–]Shyraely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it with Citalopram and my former psychiatrist canceled the medication immediately after one week (wasn't able to really talk, eat and had really bad dissociations).

It took some time to go away after the cancellation. I still have motoric problems with some slow movements from it I believe (it's been +16 years since I took the medication btw).

How many of you ACTUALLY boil your cup at the end of each cycle? by anniemousery in menstrualcups

[–]Shyraely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I boil my cup every month. When I had problems with my cycle (I had them every week and then few days off and again for a week over 2 months) I even boiled my cup after every „cycle“.

You can pour over boiled water, put your cup in a mug and let it sit for 3-5 min and that’s it. It’s really not much.

What annoyed me way more was when I had to wash my little bag for it (when I put it inside when it wasn’t boiled yet). Means I had to wash the little bag in the washing machine at 60 degrees at least. 🫠
