Trouble healing right hand

Hi everyone, I have a nerve conduction test in July (can’t get it sooner) my right hand has been suffering. Weak and when typing my pinky/hand is shaky. I’m thinking it might be Cubital tunnel syndrome. Been experiencing symptoms since late March of this year. Could use some advice on how to recover faster cs it’s impacting my daily functioning and work

Feeling a little empty and recovering

Hi everyone,

Just a heads up I’m using dictation so if the wording looks weird, that’s why.

There’s someone that I’ve known for years and I’ve been told by two different people that he is my soulmate. Even before this, I did feel a strong sort of connection with him I never felt with anyone else. That said a few years back we had a falling out. I’m currently in the process of going to therapy and really just trying to move forward and grieve the connection we have. Through Therapy, and the silence, I no longer feel that sense of closeness since I used to feel for him. In the past, even after we stopped talking, symbolically I felt like he represented a type of motivation and hope for me. And now that I’m trying to move forward, it feels a little empty.

I’m at this point where I’m trying to tell myself that moving forward would look like what it has been. That we haven’t talked anymore. I’m trying to tell myself, I honor our memories, but I need to move forward.

I didn’t know where to post it/how to articulate this, but was curious to hear other people’s experiences/thoughts. Hypothetically, if two people were soulmates or just really deeply connected, will there always be that sense of pain/longing/idk what I’m feeling. It’s been a hard couple of months. Any words of support/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

In between EMDR sessions

Hi everyone,

I started EMDR a couple of months ago. I’ve noticed recently, and this week I’ve been crying almost every night. (I’m also stressed with daily stressors) and I have started processing the negative memories yet in emdr, just positive resourcing.

Last night I shared with my family a trauma memory which I usually don’t and started crying for 30 minutes as well I was explaining it. They were really validating and the next day, which is today I felt really trained.

I’m wondering if it gets better or when I actually do EMDR it will feel like this where I need to rest a lot. It feels like it’s harder to socialize during these times and I’m just more tired. I used to be more positive, but I feel like starting emdr opened/allowed me to feel more of the emotions/grief I never fully processed. It’s like I was to get through this process to get better, but in between I haven’t enjoyed life like I usually do, and sometimes the trauma/sad memories linger more than it used to.

Any words of encouragement would be great.
