Something’s not right

Starting to struggle

Fluttershy1Senior Contributor23 Dec 2021, 8:42 pm AEDT

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

Quite happy at home in my safe space @Snowie,

I feel like it’s a effort to get up and go out when I’m still tired

Re: Starting to struggle

Our safe space at home is hard to leave at times @Fluttershy1 I totally understand that.

Sometimes we just have to go out, especially when it is an appointment.

Perhaps after it you can reward yourself with something. Sometimes when I have to go out when I don't want too, I make myself, then go and buy myself a drink afterwards. Normally a Chai Latte or a Taro Smoothie. Or when you get home you can reward yourself with something.

Re: Starting to struggle

Ended up going @Snowie - made me feel worse. I hate myself at times.
