Hello,
I have anxiety, panic attacks and complex PTSD. Recently I have been having intrusive images and I am struggling to cope. I keep having a picture of someone's face in my minds eye 24/7 to the point that when I am watching tv or looking at the computer at work or my phone I can still see the face. Even when I am driving it is still there and it is frightening me and causing extreme anxiety. I am not sure what to do and I am so scared. I don't know what this is or why its happening.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Does it sound like psychosis?
Sorry I feel a bit out of sorts right now. I have had mental health issues for over 25 years and can control things most of the time but this is a real struggle and I do not know where to turn.
I cannot take antidepressants as I have tried them 3 times and had severe negative reactions and after I referred myself to the local mental health unit I was told that they could not help me as they can only offer general counselling and not anything for the complex PTSD or Childhood Trauma I have.
I don't know what to do now.
I feel like I am a burden on my partner. And am so so tired of it all.
Sorry for the moany post, I know that people have it a lot worse than me.
