Something’s not right

I don't feel very well right now

I don't feel very well right now

I don't feel very well right now and I'm afraid to talk about it. My new disability advocacy worker said something weird in an email and I don't feel comfortable with it. This happened on Thursday. I think I have been triggered by it because I don't feel safe and I don't trust her and I feel like I can't trust anyone. I feel like I'm going mad. I feel like people are driving me crazy.

I spoke with my therapist about it today (we had a phone appointment) and while I was talking to her about it I felt okay but I don't feel okay now.

I feel like I'm stuck in an unsafe place and I don't know what to do to feel better. When you feel unsafe or triggered what do you do to feel better?

Re: I don't feel very well right now

@Arizona I agree with @Lost9 it's good you've found a therapist you can trust. And having had that long term connection, even with the break, sounds very positive and reassuring.

I don't remember if you've said you're in lockdown? Food shopping and a walk for exercise are possible outlets regardless - for me they're something to look forward to , and mark the rhythm of my week.

I think I'll make a risotto tonight. What are you having?
