This blog seems to be a more appropriate place. I very rarely respond to comments on my own blog (no idea why).<BR/><BR/>For my PTSD I have had EMDR and group thereapy. I've done Hypnotherapy sessions, and I practice Thought Feild Therapy (kind of like accupressure) for my anxiety. I did biofeedback for my panic attacks (which I have conquered) but it does not seem to work with my anxiety attacks. <BR/><BR/>I learned the hard way that there is a vast difference between the two. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is different from PTSD but they are close cousins. Apparently I have both and while my PTSD is under control it can trigger my anxiety which doesn't respond the same way as PTSD or panic attacks. It doesn't make much sense to me but I have felt the difference between panic and anxiety attacks and they are <B>very</B> different.<BR/><BR/>Am I even making sense?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the Thought Feild Thereapy and the self hypnosis I've learned do help but not much, they just take the edge off. There are new tools and skills I need to learn to deal with my anxiety. Right now I am mainly relying on drugs. BTW, I have been practicing biofeedback since my physical therapy days. It's good stuff.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the suggestion though and if you come across anything else please let me know. If you haven't tried hypnotherapy (I was very reluctant to try it but am glad I did) or EMDR and have questions feel free to ask. My current therapist taught me the Thought Feild Therapy and is open to new and different things not just talk.<BR/><BR/>ps Your comments can be as long as you want at my blog so no apologies needed. I want to hear what people have to say no matter how much they have to say. :-)whimsical brainpanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158339502955458999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216998770643506938.post-82583268565174286942007-02-12T14:19:00.000-08:002007-02-12T14:19:00.000-08:00My family really doesn’t talk about it either. My ...My family really doesn’t talk about it either. My Mom is on meds. My brother was just diagnosed with schizophrenia with other multiple things… but the schizo is the big one. The scariest one. I’m supposed to be taking meds but I don’t. I just don’t have the energy to take the pill. I can do that mask but not the pill. Why is that? That I can do one and not the other, when the pill would make it better? <BR/><BR/>waiting for it to get better. I hope it gets better Gracie!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194684286766749312noreply@blogger.com
