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

oh, sorry to hear about a rough patch @Fluttershy1. What's been happening?

I'm so glad warm yoga has been so great. I really admire that you've been trying something new ❤️

Re: Starting to struggle

oh @Fluttershy1 that is really crap. I know what flashbacks are like for me, and they are really awful ❤️

Are there things you usually do when they come up which can help?

I know for me, I try to distract myself a little bit. Then wait until I can talk to my therapist or a trusted friend about it.

Re: Starting to struggle

Hi @Fluttershy1 - SANE has 2 'Unconference Days' which probably means they won't be available today or tomorrow.

I'll be here for a bit longer if you want a chat.
