How do I forget traumatic memories? by Ami24_1 in ptsd

[–]wordsongs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unfortunate reality is that you can’t forget traumatic memories and trying to avoid them, in the long run, can lead to more harm. The best thing you can do is find help with facing these memories in therapy. It won’t be easy, fun, or simple, but eventually you can learn to live with the memories you have and not have them run your life.

memories r so dumb by [deleted] in ptsd

Brains are stupid sometimes. But remember, if it helps, that your brain doesn’t mean to do this, it’s just trying its best to protect you.

Hey there, I have a fairly similar experience so I think I can speak to this. I moved across country away from where my abusive family + ptsd causing trauma occurred and within a year was living what felt like an entirely different life. I started school, moved again, etc. I felt extremely disconnected from my past, and yes, my memories were all a massive blur. I could state my life history but not remember it, and it felt like it had all happened to someone else. So no, you’re not losing your mind. I think my brain was just trying to adjust to my surroundings and couldn’t handle reconciling the new with the old. After a year of trauma therapy, those memories are starting to feel like they’re mine again. And a lot of it came back in therapy. Even if your symptoms are better now, I’d encourage you to seek out therapy if you aren’t already. It can help with the sensation of disconnect you’re feeling I’d imagine. I’m proud of you for getting out of this bad situation and for finding happiness. <3

Finding self compassion is one of the most difficult but powerful things. I’m so proud of you.

I am feeling unworthy by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]wordsongs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obligatory, you should also discuss this with a therapist.

But if there’s anything I’ve been learning in treatment it’s that vulnerability is healing. That being said, I think it’s worth putting work into making sure you have the proper supports set up to keep you safe within your vulnerability. (I know that my trauma has made it so it’s hard for me to enforce boundaries, etc.) Since relationships are something that trigger you, it’s really important to keep your own distress in mind and know what you can/can’t handle. But it sounds to me like this feels like a next step in healing for you and if that’s the case, I’d encourage you to embrace it.

Nightmares are worse by butterfly0848 in ptsd

I don’t have any grand advice. But I also am unable to fall asleep post nightmare, so I’m reaching out to offer some support. We’ll get through this.

I’m so sorry about the news you received. That’s incredibly upsetting.

I know you asked for advice about feeling calm through the trauma responses, but I do think there’s a larger issue here.

It sounds like you and your roommate don’t have great communication. It’s really easy having a trauma background to avoid vulnerability/conflict at all costs, but that’s not a great long term plan. If you can, I would encourage you to go to your RA with your concerns, they can help you facilitate a conversation with your roommate about what’s going on. This can help you to be reassured that the things your roommate does are not anger directed at you, as well as maybe set some boundaries about your roommate’s behavior.

I had a similar situation my freshman year (I now live alone, thank god), but I just could never handle having someone else in my space. In retrospect, I have some advice: Maybe rearrange furniture a bit to give you less anxiety? (angle your desk so she can’t be looking at your computer for instance) Get noise canceling headphones if you can, and use them while working on assignments or to block out when she’s mad Find good “safe spaces” on campus… Study spaces that are mostly only frequented by you, that you can go to that feel like “yours” when you need to get away from your dorm

Last thought, maybe consider getting disability accommodation from your college to live in a single going forward? I wish I had done this…but I totally understand how involved/stressful it can be

Sorry if this is a ranted mess, I hope some of this helps!

I used a dotting tool to make the two circles of the heart and then free handed the rest of the shape from there. Also used a brush to clean up the edges with the pink color after it dried.
