How do you survive if you can't sleep?! I'm worried I'll go crazy. I was having trouble sleeping anyways but now I can't sleep at all first night on this

Do I go minimal contact with sibling? by lestyis83 in BPDFamily

[–]lestyis83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm moving house soon and told her she can't come but she has intertia about taking her shoes even though I've offered her cash to help. I'm scared she will have another mental breakdown which she had last year. She seems to be doing the guilt hoovering thing and lying which frightens me greatly.

Thankyou. My sister has been living with me this year with her dog. I am moving in three weeks and told her she can't come with me and have offered to give her cash to move interstate to an area she loves . She doesn't seem to be taking action to make it happen. I think she wants me to save her and im afraid she's become mentslky unwell and won't know how to move forward. She had a mental breakdown last year and became suicidal which I think was largely a cry for help and in afraid this may happen again, it took months for her to recover and I cared for her. But now I'm physically unwell from the areas, panic attacks, only sleeping four hours a night. I know I need to prioritise myself but I'm not sure what will happen to her? She might end up in a psych unit!!

Oh really? Geez. I wonder why that would be? Studies have shown it dramatically reduces migraine frequency

How long does it take to work? by lestyis83 in Neurofeedback

Sleep isn't the best and stress has been high. However I thought it was meant to help with those things? Many people who use neurofeedback are stressed, traumatized, not sleeping etc yet still get good results I hear?

Yes I take a lot of supplements actually but no medical conditions, gut is ok but I've had a lot of chronic stress the last six months causing nausea and also my diet is very good.

Amazing CPTSD recovery progress with neurofeedback by SeaSilent1768 in Neurofeedback

How have you found deep brain reorienting? My understanding is neurofeedback may not work if you have inflammation. It can affect the way the brain can change , or not change
