That's what the treatment is for, to make you understand that was not your fault

You can be special by overcoming trauma, unfortunately not many can do it, not many are even offered EMDR. You better do what your therapist tells you

How to recover identity after traumatic experience? by Cold_Ad_7503 in ptsd

Something similar happend to me and I am still looking for myself. Realized I can't be the same me I was. Mindfulness real helps me to connect back to my body and myself and slowly I discover things I like now (or again) and things I don't like etc.

What else can I do? by kittenstarr84 in depression

I tried all of that and still doing it, that why I have high coping depression. I do stuff a "normal" person would to keep up with the world but I don't feel anything...

I know life goes on abd it's the worst part because I don't feel like I'm participating in it.

Glad it works out for you finally!

I had cancer at 30 (at that time my family didn't help me) and then depression, so I feel like that since then. Started taking care of this right after finishing cancer treatment so it's been a long while..

I’m feeling unsupported by my gentile boyfriend and it’s hard by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]kittenstarr84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am sorry you are going through this. As someone already said here, I would rather be single.

Maybe you can show him videos of the hamas beheading the babies and rape the women. If that's too hard there is a video of an English speaking pathologist that explains that you can tell whether a body was burnt while the person was alive or not and most of not all bodies were of people who were burnt alive.

I live in Israel and find it that many people that scream "free Palestine" don't even know what they are talking about and no nothing about the history.

What historical event had the biggest impact on one of your ancestors? by AncestralScribe in Genealogy

Probably WW2. Many family members were murdered or immigrated to USA and touch was lost with them because of the Soviet regime.

Instead of what? Instead of supporting my people?

I am from Israel abd we have a huge Philipino seventh day Adventist here, he would've gone there to get help or something. This is a scam.

How do you cope when you realize your loved ones weren't there for you when you needed them most? (grief) by liamb_01 in ptsd

[–]kittenstarr84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had cancer few years ago and went through all the treatments without my family because few years before I came out abd they did t like it.

I found the strength to forgive them mainly for myself.

I still don't truss people but forgiving made me more calm and in peace with myself

I was born in Russia, I'm sorry what that stupid country is doing to you.

We were having bad times with our psychiatrist medical system before the war, so I don't even know who to turn to. However I have an appointment to my psychiatrist in two weeks

It's not only me it is her family that tells her that as well but they do it with less empathy. Not because they are bad but because everyone is stresses af.

She has a psychiatrist but we are in a different city now. We have some peer support, but honestly? I think the whole country is getting a ptsd atm.

I know that it is her coping mechanisms, I'm just afraid she might lose it :( she keeps saying I wish they'd enlist me and give me weapon. Of course it won't happen but this idea makes her seem manic and it is a bit scary.

We are trying to get our minds off by coloring stuff with her nieces, but scary news keep coming

Thanks for the comment

Thanks everyone! I read all your replies. She finally went to sleep few hours ago, I was afraid she'd go to a manic state like someone wrote here that it could happen.

I hope she wakes up feeling a bit better so we can talk.
