Hi @Tigga321 ..... and welcome to the forums.
My “like” was to say that I am hearing to you. Have you seen your doctor for help with this ?
I am glad you checked in here today ...... reaching out is a good idea, and this is a good place to reach out.

Hi @Tigga321
Hi, I can relate to your situation, especially with the childhood.
I am glad you are seeing a psychologist but 7 weeks is a long time to go without support.
Were the meds prescribed by a doctor or psychiatrist?
Do you do any mindfullness to help with the flashbacks at all?
There is support out there. 1800 RESPECT is a great support. If you ring them they will put you through to a specialist counsellor who can help with giving you different ways to cope.
Sorry if there are too many questions. Just answer what you feel comfortable with

Hi Neil,

@Tigga321I can certainly relate to what you are talking about. I am glad you have supports in place, just a long time to wait. Hopefully you find support on this forum.
If your meds are not working, than maybe it is something you can discuss with your psychiatrist. I am on med try number 4 at the moment.

@Tigga321wow that is a long time to wait especially with how you are feeling. I can relate to the hurting wearing you down and struggling to last that long.
Please keep reaching out on here for support. There are some more social threads also where you can find support. If you want to tag someone just put a @ in front of their name.
As I said before, I find 1800 respect good and also the SANE helpline. It will be a bit quieter around here atm with xmas.
