So I can't have EMDR because I have chest palpations from anxiety...

@uncalled4 No. I have tried dozens then figured out because of fibromyalgia they were affecting my nervous system poorly. So I do no meds. Just self-care and therapy but now what? I can't do the next step. I can't do the best thing

@EldritchFox I understand it's frustrating to have to begin perhaps with a new therapist; I've had to do that several times over the years, once because my therapist passed away. But just like you might not give up on a car that your regular mechanic can't fix, it's worth the effort across the board for you and especially your son.

We all have things that make our brain not work. Mine is OCD. Fiancee has ADHD, and that shit is never a dull fuckin moment with the emotion dysregulation and impulsivity and inattention. Ex-fiancee was a total violent narc. One of my female coworkers was a Borderline, which I think is more prevalent than a lot of people realize. My point is mental health struggles are depressing and awful but what choice do we have?

@uncalled4 I'm going to try doing EMDR on myself.

There are risks, but I can't just keep missing the mark by relying on others. We're all just people and yes all a little screwy, but I have myself.

@EldritchFox Good. We're all in your corner here.
