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

It seems like your brain is doing exactly what it is made to do @Fluttershy1 - think.

You've probably questioned why your brain thinks so much more in the evenings? Well this is exactly what it was designed to do.

Please don't feel like you are not supposed to think at this time 🙂

@tyme - why do we think more at night and overthink. I just want to rest

Re: Starting to struggle

Because that's how we were made @Fluttershy1 - As cave people, if humans didn't worry and think more at night, they would be eaten by predators!

So that's why we have evolved to do this. It's just that it's not so helpful in the 21st century because it can stop us from resting - like what you are saying 🙂

Hi @Former-Member @hanami @maddison @Shaz51 - I’m doing a lot better today, it was wild weather overnight I was flooded in but it’s now all clear, I’m going to gym tomorrow to do a warm water yoga session. Very excited

Re: Starting to struggle

ooohh warm yoga! That sounds so lovely! Have you been doing yoga for long @Fluttershy1 ?

I used to do HEAPs but have dropped off over the also few years. But I'd really like to do some more!

@Former-Member - I have just started it, it’s really good, feeling overwhelmed and stimulated

Re: Starting to struggle

oh thats great @Fluttershy1 ! Sounds like it's been nice but A LOT? Is that right

I remember going to a "beginners" class which was quite advanced! It kinda turned me off for a little while. But I also enjoyed some challenging classes

@Former-Member - I’m looking afford to going tomorrow, it will be good with me. Good for my well-being
