Witness to suicide and I'm struggling

[David Baxter PhD]

By "the pictures", do you mean the flashbacks, Auburn?

 

[Auburn]

Yes, David. I meant the flashbacks. I am not having them as frequently, but the severity is still numbing. Sorry about the panicked posts, but that nite caught me off guard. I been having mostly good days and that nite was awfully hard to handle.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

That will happen. Try not to see it as a setback but just a momentary blip on the road to recovery...

Auburn,
just a quick post to say i was wondering how you and your husband are and hope all is going well. Keep your chin up for things will get better!
There is light at the end of the tunnel just got to hang on til you can see it and grab on tight.
Warm wishes
hugs jaine

It's good to see you back here posting again, Jaine. How are you doing?

Auburn i was thinking today have you tried oh i can't think of the name....Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) it's meant to help with dealing and processing information from one side of the brain into the other. Ie. wrong side of the brain into the memory. Maybe you could research it and think about it... there's some info about it at this address:

take care of yourself,
hugs jaine
