Hi @Tigga321 ..... and welcome to the forums.
My “like” was to say that I am hearing to you. Have you seen your doctor for help with this ?
I am glad you checked in here today ...... reaching out is a good idea, and this is a good place to reach out.

Hi @Tigga321
Hi, I can relate to your situation, especially with the childhood.
I am glad you are seeing a psychologist but 7 weeks is a long time to go without support.
Were the meds prescribed by a doctor or psychiatrist?
Do you do any mindfullness to help with the flashbacks at all?
There is support out there. 1800 RESPECT is a great support. If you ring them they will put you through to a specialist counsellor who can help with giving you different ways to cope.
Sorry if there are too many questions. Just answer what you feel comfortable with

Hi Neil,

@Tigga321I can certainly relate to what you are talking about. I am glad you have supports in place, just a long time to wait. Hopefully you find support on this forum.
If your meds are not working, than maybe it is something you can discuss with your psychiatrist. I am on med try number 4 at the moment.
