Hey yall, I just felt inclined to come back and share an update, and maybe give some advice. It has recently dawned on me that I have been experiencing Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, unknowingly for about 2 decades. The easiest way to explain this is i also have HEDS and Autism Level 2. At age 20 I staryed experiencing panic atta as after Traumatic experiences in my early 20s at a workplace, what proceeded panic atta ks was a decade of benzo addiction (doctor prescribed) a decade of nerve pai killer post benzo withdrawal in 201u, with 7 yeats of intensive excercise to get better, followed by complete physical and mental breakdown in 2024 plus psychosis and q shots of paliperidone, still stand by the favr i recovered 100 percent from paliperidone, but i have been suffer8ng Chronic Fatigue, Migraines, Chronic pain and chronic stress for 2 decades. Feeling my body wirh Cortisol and adrenaline for so long I no longer felt very real physical tension in my body.
Anyways I share all of this is because for the last year , after a 2 decades of failed mental health interventions, the one thing that has truly helped is getting in touch with the physical feeling sin my body.
I suspect im essence many of you may have lingering Trauma in your body from paliperidone injections and the mental health world seems to be oblivious to this fact.
I learnt various meditation and Mindfulness techniques accross 2 decades of mental health, but those techniques are useless if your body is atick in SHOCK, everyday forbthe last year i have combined MYOFASCIAL release tools with breathing excercises, Heart Breath , WIM HOFF BREATHING, electrical muscle stimulation , theragun, accupressure tools such as gua sha and steel trigger point tools. From head to toe my body has been so tense from 2 decades of Stress induced Trauma compounded from physical excercise, that my connection between brain and body was severed
Instead of experiencing physical pain signals my nerves became so constricted that I lost touch with pain and it started to manifest as a so called "chronic anxiety disorder "
I will never be able to truly give you the tools I have used, as I have so many different tools. But I will say from the bottom of your feet to the top of tou head start touching your body, my stress qas driven by nerve compressi9n in my nexk and sub occiptal region of the head because along with Autism, Adhd, Heds and CPTSD for decades I had Lyphotic posture forward head leaning, my spine was mis aligned my shoulder rolled forward and my hups displaced.
If your suffering and tou simply don't understand why, TOUCH YOURSELF and TRU MEDITATION LIKE A BODY SCAN. Re body scan I recently found a technique where I sense what I feel in my neck/jaw area while thinking of say a particular body part, as everything is connected through ypur nervous system.
Im getting better every day but TRAUMA is real and that's what people here should tap into, My paliperidone experience alone would be enough to induced ptsd, let alone the 3 decades of suffering I had experienced prior to this.
but I feel my mind becomes slower and slower and akathisia is hard...
