I hope this was helpful at least a little. Shirley

I am desperate for help. I have a lot of child hood issues as well as the last 12 years of coersive control abuse, mental abuse from situationships, relationships most all still involving my mother in some capacity. My body and mind is like a clenched fist and can no longer function in most ways. MDs will not listen to me,the person that stands in front of them now, the present me.but go by some years of drug use which was an unhealthy coping skill basically a survival skill. I have nowhere safe to go and cannot seem to help myself because I’m so scrambled. My mind is affected my body is affected my soul is affected. Where I once could flow,multitask worked hard and effectively. Now I can’t seem to handle anything or do anything. The abuse involved financial abuse so I’m struggling to try and get all that back but I’m unable to work because of the brain fog,anxiety, sensory over load and self-doubt and self hatred. I have a lot of health issues like memory loss physical symptoms of being unbalanced physically, stomach issues,pain lots of pain throughout my body. Sometimes theanxiety and abuse was sobad that I have trouble talking even swallowing where I’ve had to live mostly on a liquid diet. And one situation that went on for years I could not trust the food because it was often tampered with so I could only have sealed drinks or containers of food and once anything was open I could not trust it to not to have been tampered with in some way. There were times that I overate with unhealthy foods for the instant gratification and often didn’t eat it all because I couldn’t swallow, food was it available or was possibly tampered with. Which I guess exasperated my digestive issues in pain. My car was often disabled so with a short walk I made friends that use drugs and I started using because it was only thing that got me out of my depression & agoraphobia that then seem to rule my life. I still deal with that today not wanting to be “seen”because I feel so bad about my physical appearance as well as my scattered spazzy mental state. What is the pandemic I lost the doctor I had for a few years that was treating All of me so I was at least functioning but I was possibly being over medicated. I don’t think so because at least I could function I could get out the door, my anxiety was controlled so I didn’t so often have paralyzing panic attacks, could get some actual sleep and dealt with some of the pain and muscle spasms. My talk therapist has me starting Emdr therapy but I need so much more. What that more is I don’t know but I’m looking for help. I respond better with text messages because my email gets so much crap and has been compromised. My number is 980-432-4812 I also have phone voicemail so I can get back to you or whoever. I am often without signal and also fine phone calls to be I guess invasive or too demanding with the mindset I have right now. I’m looking for a doctor that deals with the physical effects of cptsd as well is the mental misery that makes day-to-day living really hard.
