I feel like my thoughts are out of control they are around SH, am safe but am struggling with the thoughts I have been so stressed the thoughts are just coming back. I don't want to have my addiction to SH again. I want to stay clean.
@Former-Member - am safe

@Fluttershy1
When you feel overwhelmed have you tried any breathing exercises?
Is there somewhere that you can go to relax and reflect away from family to give yourself some me time to rest?

Like @MDT has mentioned try to focus on the film.
It's ok if you are crying as you are releasing what's inside.
Like @MDT has mentioned see if you can unplug from the world.

Hey @BPDSurvivor,
