Need help

Need help

Hi guys. I've been struggling a lot lately. I have tried to reach out to a few people, whom I thought would listen and support me, only to have it thrown back at me. I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster ride which I sent to be stuck on.

I have got to the stage where I am terrified to reach out and ask for support. I use to feel at ease messaging a friend and telling her my thoughts, feelings and going into detail about the flashbacks I have been experiencing; lately this has become harder and harder for me to do.

I just want to get this stuff out, without feeling judged

Re: Need help

Hi @1985 sorry you're feeling this way. Life is pretty lonely & difficult sometimes. Think about having some sessions with a counsellor. Just getting all the hurt & anger out can really help. I sometimes write all my frustrations & anger in a notebook then rip up the pages & burn them - it doesn't fix everything but it does help me 'process' negative feelings better. You sound like a thoughtful person. Hang in there.
