I have PTSD please answer my questions its a matter of life and death..?!


Question: I have PTSD please answer my questions its a matter of life and death..?
Ever since I cried excessively or did eye movement therapy too much on myself I have had constant strange attacks. The very same day I did the excessive crying and eye movement therapy my routine change. I think it was because my laptop had moved when i am so used to it being in the same place and i use it a lot. So when I looked at the laptop and noticed it had moved I started to get a weird tingly feeling in my head and then it was like things started to build up. My heart started to beat faster, faster and faster. When I talked it would sound like I had more feeling in my voice, but it wouldn't sound like me talking. It would sound like I am talking ahead of myself. Things around me would be more scary - sounds would scare me if something scared me too much it would be like I would go numb again and then I would go really cold and my breathing would start to increase rapidly and then I would get this unbelievable pain come over my head.
Ever since all this I became a lot more sensitive to other things in my routine changing - where my heart would start beating faster again and then things all around me would go evil again.
The only way I am able to stop all this is when I am constantly trying to do coping skills - but it is so exhausting and tiring.


1. What happens if you overdo eye movement therapy? Does it bring too much feelings back and make you cry excessively? Or does it make you have more flashbacks?
Why is it dangerous to overdo it? - Is it because it makes you too sensitive over things? What could it be?

2. What happens if you cry? I heard that crying can cause flashbacks!!!
Does it cause flashbacks while you cry or does it just make flash backs happen more often in general?

3. Why can the medications for PTSD make you suicidal? Is it because of the chemical changes or is it because it brings all the pain of the trauma out?
I heard that you need to participate when you have them - What does this mean?

4. If I feel like I need to scream but I'm scared that if I start I wont ever be able to stop, and that it would be really extreme to the point where its like I am having a fit on the ground or something, what should I do? Its like I would be desperately trying to get others to understand or something.
Would it ever lead to a flash back or something? Could it be dangerous to let it all out too fast all at once? Could it make you go insane?

5. If you have PTSD and your emotionally numb can you still get flashbacks and feel pain? is it less pain-full when your numb or does it not make a difference?

6. What does crying do when your numb? I mean if it feels like i don't need to cry but i try and make myself cry anyway what happens? can it make flashbacks happen more often or something?

7. Even if I am still talking to and seeing my parents - can it make it worse just by staying in the same room? I mean when i am having a flashback and re-experiencing the traumar, would it attach memory's of that traumar feelings to objects around me and would it trigger more flashbacks in the near future?

8. Can you heal from PTSD without crying? or is crying just necessary?

9. If I get my feelings back by trying to think of how others would respond to the traumar, but they are really sensitive to the point where it is easier to go numb again (like just from hearing a dog barking or something) - how do I make them less sensitive? - By crying? Or will time make them less sensitive?

10. If it feels like I am slipping away and starting to feel the traumar feelings again would chillies help bring me back by stimulating my senses or would that make the traumar worse (because chillies are painful)?

11. If you have some feeling but then you cry intensively, and straight after that you go numb - what does that mean?

12. What does it mean when I am able to calm myself down then I get flashes of short images and feelings of the trauma as I am calming down.
When it does this does it mean that I am processing the trauma and getting better?

13. why is it like im in a constant trigger? things all around me go evil just if someing
in my routine changes or if im not used of something. what could have made this happen?
trying to cry excessively when im emotionaly numb and dont feel like crying
(when i did this i got images of the truamar appear in my head) or over doing EMDR?

14. When you have a flashBack do you go hot or cold? I mean what are all of the physical reactions?
if you go hot does it mean your processing it but if you go cold does it mean your reliving it?
