Something’s not right

Starting to struggle

Starting to struggle

I was doing so well, my moods where manageable and now I feel like I'm losing control my anxiety is bad my flashbacks are more present, family are causing lots of stress and controlling me I don't know what to do, it all feels really to overwhelming.

I feel like my whole world is falling apart, my stress levels are high, my moods are always fluctuating, I have random anger outbursts, I'm isolating myself from nearly everyone.

My dad hasn't even really contacted me, I'm really upset, I feel like he doesn't care or even wants to give me a call to see how I am. His wife is really controlling and she tends to judge me. They want me to go to Christmas with them and I don't even want to see them.

I find this time of year is triggering.

Am safe

Re: Starting to struggle

I have another story to tell @Peregrinefalcon - I’ve been really doing well and I’m accepting the fact that I need threapy every week and knowing that there is bad days and good days. Today is my good day, I’m sitting out in the sun and thinking i should probably go to the gym or go for a swim.

what would you pick?

I feel like a different kind of person now these days, I’m more in control and bad days don’t get to me as much.

self care is the best thing I enjoy now it heaps and it helps me.

@Fluttershy1 Love that today is a good day! Hmmm, tough choice! A swim would be kinda cool, it is warm enough for it 🌞

Re: Starting to struggle

@Fluttershy1 I can totally relate to that. I hope that you will be able to be home soon! If you still have to be out for a little while, I wonder if there is something that can help you feel more grounded? For me, putting my headphones on and listening to some music/podcast/anything can help me feel a little more settled

Re: Starting to struggle

I’m home @Peregrinefalcon - just had to seperate the bunnies as they were fighting which makes me sad. Nothing seems to be going my way.

Re: Starting to struggle

Hey @Fluttershy1

I've got bunnies. If they are male, they tend to fight. So some get them de-sexed. Seems to do the trick.
