I recently saw an invoice from last year from my second therapist, diagnosis being "persistent anxiety disorder". After one year of quality therapy and trauma integration my eyes saw the given diagnosis with different eyes. "I can kill my own illness. It's persisting up until my decision."
Feels nice for you to be in control.

🌀i was recently diagnosed with PTSD from repeated childhood trauma that has haunted me my whole life. today, i just had my first session of EMDR therapy - which for a reason neurologists don't fully understand, allows (primarily) people with this disorder to be exposed to and entirely reprocess traumatic memories by utilizing what's called "bilateral stimulation." aka, i was following a light that darts back and forth and holding onto handles that would buzz from side to side.
i had zero clue what real peace felt like before i dove into what was already inside of me. my mind is NEVER quiet, but in that moment, my guard was let down entirely and i was able to be so comfortable in the silence of just *being.* it felt like i had been blind my whole life, and i just gained my ability to see.
the words i say here don't do it nearly justice enough for how spiritual and moving of an experience it was to be able to take back my life and start to turn off the alarm bells in my brain. if you even THINK this kind of therapy would benefit you, you need to at least get assessed by an EMDR professional because this is extremely legit.
it's giving me my life back - and i couldn't be more thankful.

6 months ago started seeing a Somatic Therapist who by God’s grace is covered with my insurance. We’ve been doing EMDR and I swear it’s been an exorcism for the anxiety that lives rent free in my body. After our last sesh she asked me how I was feeling - while sobbing, I responded, “you know that meme of Nicole Kidman after she finalized her divorce? I feel free!”

🥹.."So i can die happy."
I rec that measurement. Creating your life in such way so you can say those words.
And she didn't live a life without challenges, I assume she meant being content with what she could control. But to the fullest.
