Hi everyone,
I have a generalized anxiety disorder and CPTSD. I had 3 tough times in my childhood/teens. The first two times I got over the depression and fear organically - just naturally on my own over time.
However the third time I was unable to come out of it. There was a point where my thinking sped up (hyper vigilant), my vision became blurry and I felt like I was in a fog or a dream. I explained this to my doctor and a parent at the time but nobody understood it. I began taking anti-depressants but this body state remained locked in and I've never gotten back to living in my body again. I have been locked into this state for 13 years and fear never getting back to normal. I hold a lot of tension around my head and I feel like I am always clenching or bracing around my head.
Well my biggest fear is not getting back into my body ever again - I have tried a lot of different things, meditation, somatic work, emdr, books, yoga, breathwork, etc... Any success stories out there of people reclaiming their bodies and life again? It's terrifying to not know if you'll ever be fully alive again.
Thanks and good luck to all of you.
