Stuffed

Stuffed

I don't know what to do anymore. I sometimes feel really good, other days absolutely stuffed. I have trialled meds for PTSD and still struggle. I just don't know what to do with life.

Meds are just like a bandaid and antiseptic ... they dont fix the issue ... the cells have to do the work and grow the new skin ... they may allow for a little respite and help you work through any issues in your life.

Re: Stuffed

Hi @Tiki

Welcome to the forums. How are you travelling at the moment?

You mentioned sometimes you feel really good - is there anything you notice that makes you go downhill? Or does it all seem quite sudden?

Just drawing on Appleblossom's point, medication can be helpful in collaboration with other therapies.

Are you working with a psychologist or getting any other help?
