If there was only a drug to erase the past!

This is not a question just a comment...if there was only a medicine to erase the past I would be great...as most of us would be. Clonazapam seems to help in that regard but can’t have a steady diet of that!

I get what you mean. It's just my opinion and experience, but since I have made some good progress and healed a bit with therapy, I don't feel like quite like that any more. I feel more like things (good and bad) all make up my experiences and I wouldn't be me now if I hadn't had those experiences, I would be someone else. Once I started to accept myself a bit more, I started to be able to accept my bad experiences a bit more. I think it's from the EMDR helping me put what were overwhelming experiences into a place where I can manage them better and they don't have to define me.

Don't know if this makes sense, but .....

Sending you a hug. 🙂🌸

Hi...well that sounds encouraging. I am starting trauma therapy and emdr in March. I have done some things that I am less than proud of so I Hope trauma therapy and emdr help in that regard. Sending you a hug also😍

Thank you for the hug.

Don't forget, we have all done things that we are not proud of. It's part of being a human. If we are not perfect (and we're not,) we will do things we regret. But we learn from them. Plus learning from stuff shows that we have grown and moved forward.

I hope your new therapies give you what you need.😀🌸

Thank you. You are very kind. May I ask you, do you take medication also?

Hi. I take Venlafaxine. Have been on it for a long time, but at different dosages depending on how things are. It's been very helpful to me. 🌸🙃

Yes won’t it be nice, but abuse never goes away, and when no one cares in your own family ,you feel abused again. I trying to slowly go off your drug, because it is additive, and very hard to go off of❤️

No you can’t, I am trying to ween off it ,it’s very additive, it takes a long time, and very hard to do. I been on It a long time,I don’t even think it works any more , I have PTSD.❤️
