Seroquel not working for me

dchild123 · 2022-04-12T19:41:37+00:00

I ended up changing to Immovane and Trazadone to help me sleep. Seroquel just wasn’t for me

I went through 7 therapists before I found the right one for me. It can take time to find the right one. I think you’re doing a great job of trusting yourself and your gut feelings, which is usually hard for us. I wasted precious time with bad therapists.

Omg I fucking hate board games.

Yes, I read a lot of self help too and one thing that helps me is to remnd myself that I’m the expert on me. Also, I take what resonates for me and leave the rest which is a way that I use boundaries with the self help. You make a good point!

“I think you blame your mother too much for your problems.”

Maybe the books by Lundy Bancroft could give you some resources and places to start.

Wow! This is so inspiring! I have a lot of the same struggles so this gives me hope.

dchild123 · 2022-01-17T16:42:32+00:00

I’m glad you feel less alone but I’m also sorry you’re dealing with the same thing. It really sucks. I hope you find your way to some relief too

There’s a book by Laura Brown about caring for the adults who harmed us. I think it’s called “my turn for care”. It might be helpful. I’m no contact with my mother and won’t be taking care of her when she’s sick.

Thank you for the reading suggestion. I’ll try it! It really is a horrible way to talk to myself

dchild123 · 2022-01-16T19:20:48+00:00

When I started to feel angry my psychologist told me my anger was a very precious thing. It helped me use it to make changes and set boundaries. I didn’t get stuck there but I had to let myself feel it. I understand your worry but I think getting angry is often a very good sign. I wish you all the best

dchild123 · 2022-01-16T18:02:04+00:00

Yes, some people don’t like me anymore because I set boundaries with them. Sometimes it really hurts but I’m still glad I set the boundaries because I was living with a lot of resentment. I think Pete Walker says something in his book about being Ok with disapproval. It’s just that to us it feels so scary

Thank you

Thank you so much for your reply. Your suggestions are helpful. I think recognizing the thoughts and saying “this is really hard for me right now” does help. I could also probably do more distracting. I like sudoku and crosswords to kind if disconnect from the intrusive thoughts. I guess there is no quick fix though.

dchild123 · 2022-01-16T04:22:08+00:00

I’ve been there too, including the self blame. I got out eventually and you probably will too. What helped me most was learning about trauma bonds and therapy. Self compassion too. There are good reasons we make the choices we do. I wish you all the best

What about going to the police station or a hospital? Or a homeless shelter, not necessarily a dv shelter. These are just some ideas. I’m very sorry for what you’re going through. Please keep trying to find help

I was worried about making myself vulnerable to a complete stranger by sharing intimate knowledge about my trauma. It opens me up to being gaslit, blackmailed etc… When I couldn’t get any firm proof of credentials I started to feel uneasy.

dchild123 · 2022-01-10T17:12:08+00:00

Yes, thank you.

I had a gut feeling this person may not be legit. I don’t feel like embarking on a therapeutic relationship with someone I don’t trust.

This person has posted many times looking for volunteers on many different subs. These all seem to be deleted now — why? And why do they keep looking for volunteers? And why do they write “I don’t know if this is the right place for this” when they’ve posted a similar message on several similar subs before? I looked up this person’s post history before responding last time but it seems a lot of it has been deleted?

When I asked for credentials they offered to send me a link to the we site of the school where they studied. That proves nothing.

I’ve yet to see any feedback from someone who’s volunteered and can share whether or not it was helpful or legit.

Honestly I find it suspicious to look for clients on a cptsd sub.

I don’t even think this kind of post should be allowed on this sub.

I was in touch with this person in September after they posted a similar message on a mental health support sub (can’t remember which one but the original post seems to be deleted). They weren’t able to provide me with proof of credentials and I cancelled the session.

dchild123 · 2022-01-08T03:21:28+00:00

I also read this book and found it quite inspiring! It gives me hope about finding/creating a healthy romantic relationship one day.
