As far as not wanting to face those memories......You have to in order to get better. Sorry but it's the only way. It sucks, it hurts, but it is the only way. Otherwise it (PTSD) just bites you in the ass over and over again. |
Thank you for the ideas. I will look for the thread you mentioned.
It's interesting to know that you have water for a safe place. Even in my dreams water seems to be safe. I didn't know if it mattered that we can't breathe underwater!!
I guess I will have to face the trauma memories eventually, but I really don't want to. I have been the way I am - I am not sure if this is the right word but I guess I would say traumatized - for as long as I can remember, so being the way I am isn't as scary as facing the feelings. oh well.
Anyway - thanks for the reply!
