Help really needed for post traumatic stress disorder

Posted By Catch 22 (Vegas, Nevada) on 02/19/2011

Can anyone help me please ? I was recently diagnosed with PTSD due to numerous sexual assualts, and neglect , physical and mental abuse for about ten years. I constantly talk to myself from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep in my head only? You might ask well what am I talking about to myself about all day negative stuff happening then I cancel delete all the negative thoughts. I've tried eft , Hawaiian techniques , tapping , trying to think myself better, I've wrote letters and burned them, Hormone balancing, I've took periods of time and old issues and put them in imaginary boxes and put them in closets and said good bye , I've been to natropaths, reiki healers, theta healers, energy healers, intuitive healers, I've received special blessings from deeksha givers, Ive cleansed and juiced, I've rebalanced my chakras, affrimations, Nlp, high frequency cell activation aka rife machine , I've became a veg head and a Herbalist. Any recomendations would greatly be considered!

To Catch 22, How is it you have contacted so many people for help, and not prayed to the One who created you? The type of healing you need comes through Love. Ask God, to give you the faith to believe you will get well. Help others, give of yourself and be forgiving, It may take time, but healing will come. I'll be praying for you too.

Dear Catch 22 from Vegas, I would suggest that you get some professional help from a good phsychologist/therapist. Also try the meds. I know that most people don't like them but they are helpful to get you over the really bad times. I tried 10 different meds before getting on something that really helped. It was very hard but eventually they make a difference. The therapy has been the best help though. I attended an anxiety treatment group and see specialist to this day and they really help. Bad things happen to good people remember that! What happened may not have been your fault and eventually you may grow to be a key speaker or councillor to help others. Get the help it'll make you feel better and quiet the thoughts. Good luck and keep us posted,

God Bless, Sheri from Hamilton

For PTSD, EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, is the best possible tool to clear this problem. It's a combination of phychology and pressure points and you can do it on yourself as well as go to someone that is trained in this practice. I've had great success both ways. This method was perfected by a man named Gary Craig and the basic technique can be found on the internet for free. It's a wonderful tool for dealing with seriuos issues as well as daily grievances.

I guess this is for all having questions here. There is no "this is it" cure for this because there are so many causes, so at the same time, there can be many cures. You gotta do some hard thinking about how you got where you are, how you feel about yourself at this point in time and why you feel that way. There are many sides to bad health…mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. All of these play a part in getting your Self well. Really. When you have PTSD you may have to hit it from many angles before you cut down that mighty vine strangling your beautiful inner Self.

Mentally, I would suggest watching yourself. No joke. Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. How many times have you heard someone "talk down" about themselves? Your conscious self may understand what you are saying, but your subconscious does not and believes Every Word You Say! So quit "asking" for bad things to happen to yourself! Not saying you are, just mentioning this as a technique. Another watching yourself technique is watching your thoughts. Why did you think - that? In questioning yourself you will find some interesting answers. But these techniques are hard and are for those willing to put in some serious effort to form a new habit of doing this.

Emotionally, I would suggest doing something or reading/watching/listening to something that makes you laugh…. Or daydream again. When I was a kid I always wanted to….. So why did I give that up…can I start that over and try again. Do something FUN! What you think is fun, not what others think is fun. It may be something something simply silly like licking an orange popsicle walking down the sidewalk; or paddling a paddleboat with a friend at the park, or going skating again, or sewing an absolutely crazy shirt (and wearing it)!

Physically is not easy, cause you most likely are deficient in minerals or enzymes or vitamins. My suggestion is to take some really good vitamins (you get what you pay for), a good spectrum mineral (definitely with food), some good digestion enzymes with meals to get all the value from the GOOD food you need to be eating and drink good water as you can get. Dump the junk, the boxed, the processed stuff. All those have chemicals, additives and plain old weird and wacky stuff that -affects your brain—(not to mention the fact that it encourages baddies of all kinds inside the body). Good food includes a wide variety of fruits, veggies and proteins. All colors of food. Any particulars, just check out the rest of this site if you want to venture out into the water some J Gotta dig out those poisons sometimes. Good food does it very nice and sloooow while helping to build up your body. Not adding more junk keeps you from getting worse off than you are.

Spiritual. Well, most everyone knows this is personal and close to the heart of each individual and you just have to find your own way here. There are enough spiritual paths out there to suit anyone (including atheism), find what you need.

All this stuff adds up. Everything takes time. For stress, it can make you weak, give you a heart attack, make you afraid to go outside, give you phobias, make you think things you wouldn't think on a sunny day. So nourish those poor little adrenals that have suffered so horribly shielding you with good nutrition cause their ain't no quick cure for dissed out adrenals. Gotta baby them now every so gently, like the rest of you. It all takes time. Lots of time. Give yourself Good Stuff in friends, in clean surroundings, in peaceful experiences in the park, in food, in fun.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded to my cptsd post. I am more stable and level headed now at this time. I still talk to myself in my head from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep about the trauma I experienced. I still have negative thought patterns but my OCD is 85% gone thank goodness so my life is finally changing for the positive. Thank you for the great feedback!!!
