Finished my 7th #EMDR session in 6 weeks today. Will take a break after this as I find a new therapist. Loved my therapist; she’s closing her practice to take a new job with the VA.
I’ve noticed a difference and I hope to continue seeing gains long term.
The immediate side effects from reliving trauma suck: muscle tension, fatigue, emotional sensitivity, light headedness and dizziness. Passes about about 72 hours though.
Started #EMDR #therapy on Monday. It’s completely different than any other therapy I’ve done. I didn’t go too deep into #trauma from my past, but it was still emotionally taxing.
Taking a 6-week leave of absence from work. Only 2 days left until that starts. Need time and space to find myself and get grounded. The last 2 months have been so intense.

Apparently men are still not deserving of our sympathy according to the comments on my TikTok.
For anyone (any gender identity) needing help, there is help. https://988lifeline.org

How did I go from peeing to cleaning the bathroom to starting a load of laundry as I'm running around the apartment in my undies?
Not really sure but ask my #cptsd brain because it suddenly remembered random tasks I put off while I was off in lala land

19th of November is #InternationalMensDay According to the Samaritans 75% of all suicides in the UK and Ireland are males with the highest suicide rate being males aged 50-54.
Come on lads. Please ask. Please talk.
M (my kid): friend said we should clean our house
Me: yea we should. Just tell them your mom is lazy
M: No. You’re just depressed. That’s the truth. That’s what i’ll tell them.
I have worked so hard to destigmatize mental health. It just hit me in the feels.
Yes, i’m not lazy.
Thanks, kid.

Today was a hard day.
Something happened that put me in a tailspin thinking I may have made some wrong choices in life that sealed my fate.
It reminded me how much worrying can take over everything in life.
All I wanted to share here was how talking about it, not solving it, was what lifted the pain.
So remember to talk to someone if you're in a rough patch and if you haven't heard from someone in a while, please check on them.
