Suggest Treatment For Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Hello, I have Complex Ptsd Since 4,5 years. I did work in East-Africa for a while in an after Genocide country and as much as I loved my work I found it very difficult to listen to all the individual accounts of my friends there. All of them had lost family members through horrible ways I do not want to describe on this page. Almost after one year into my job I got raped by a person I did trust. It was an extremely difficult situation as I loved my job and my friends there and wanted to stay. I just became more and more jumpie and felt less and less energy, combined with typical trauma symptoms. I lived very isolated and did have no support. At some point it was quite clear I needed a time out. Unfortunately it ended up in a total breakdown once I was in my home country and I ended up in a hospital for quite a while. That from having had all this amazing time in the year before and me being a very independent outgoing person. In my despair of wanting to go back but being not able to I took masses of overdoses. I know it sounds impossible but It was between 20-30. All of them ended up in the hospital with being unconscious. It was a very difficult time as during therapy a lot of old trauma was opened up and it felt to overwhelming and just to much. I recently started to feel really bad again after a year where things became much better. It s been a Taff time recently and I ended up taking three just small overdoses and did hide in a Forrest through them so nobody would call an ambulance or find me. I just wanted a rest from it all. I don t want to give in into this. I became fairly strong again and hope to go back to work next year - in the country I am currently in in Europe. I am trying to get some help, your advice to see things a bit clearer and not to keep on taking ODs. I am dreaming about them as being so good for relaxing. But it s not good. I have a lot of body symptoms due to traumatic memories at the moment. I lost my sister to cancer and my parents decline contact since I got ill. Thanks for reading this, Me
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. In my experience PTSD is curable in long run and can be managed. If your problem is not cured even after these many years, either you are running away from symptoms than fighting it or you are not getting proper treatment. PTSD is usually treated with a combination of psychotropic drugs, psychotherapy, yoga and meditation. Psychotherapy techniques streamline your life style and meditation and yoga techniques helps calm your mind, body, streamline your metabolism and thinking style. You need to find a suitable therapist.
