*******Kiddo, Sounds like a rough go of it.. I feel for you. Try getting out and walking, the fresh air and increased heart rate can do wonders for relief.
EMDR therapy did wonders for me by bringing out old stuff and reprocessing it. My therapist was outstanding in this. It has eliminated the PTSD symptoms of nightmares, and mental creation of non-existant senarios, as well as reduced anxiety.
Yoga and meditation is helping as well.
I'm not cured, may never be, and currently I'm struggling, but I'm much better off than I was...
Stopping Effexor may not have been the best choice by me, as depression has recured, so meds do have their place. I may return to it or something, as I'm finding I need it as well as the other therapy's...
Best wishes, go easy on yourself, and be honest and truthful in what you do.
