[Against_the_current]

I fell asleep after class and had a dozen of terrible nightmares about mom. My neighbour came back and was making noise outside and i thought that's mom angrily cleaning. I had to wake up and look around to see mom's not here and im at my accomodation.My ptsd is wilding and so are my depression and anxiety. I almost started crying in class. And im losing people. I can't act normal. I worry how i will find a job. I was at therapy yesterday

Hi there please don't get upset have you asked to see your doctor or see a Councillor who you may help what about talking to your school about how you are at the moment they might be more helpful no harm in trying I wish you all the best !

We have no school counselor and this is terrible. Doc just prescribed me meds and is kinda tired of me

Did your therapist have anything useful to suggest? Was she supportive?

I don't think. I don't even remember. I went to see a friend after my session and it overwhelmed me and I didn't sleep the night and then went to school and then slept and had these nightmares. Im kinda lost in time

That's such a scary feeling. We need time after our sessions to assimilate whatever came out of therapy. It's always just after I finish a session that I remember what I wanted to say; that's when whatever my therapist said to me sinks in, too. I started keeping a journal in which I would write right after I walked out of her office. Then I'd show it to her the next week. The pandemic ended my being able to do that.
