So I was recently told to try a loving-kindness exercise, and found it very difficult to follow the instructions.

So basically they have you first sit comfortably, Then you try to remember a person or situation you felt warm being loved (or loving) And then you want to focus on the feeling that this gives you. And finally think of a person you want to share this feeling with.

But I'm already stuck in the second part. I can't really remember something good that happened to me that would actually cause a feeling.

I just don't really notice any change.

Did anybody find a way to actually feel anything by thinking back on something? Or in any other way?

Understandable. I could be wrong, but all I mean is that something this severe sounds like it's beyond Lemmy's pay grade...

A place to talk about CPTSD.

  1. No diagnosis checking is allowed, If someone says they have it, they have it. It's not your job to dig through someone's medical history. It's invalidating.

  2. None of the very basic isms and phobias. Includes but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia.

  3. CW your post if it contains triggering topics. If you have to ask, just use a CW.
