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

Hi there @Fluttershy1 . I’m sad to hear you have had a panic attack but I’m so glad you’ve found a positive way of dealing with it by playing Minecraft. That’s great to hear and I’m very proud of you for doing this👍🏻⭐️!

As for me, I haven’t been well the past few days with depression and a meds issue which has now been successfully dealt with for the time being until Saturday at least. I had a small scare with anxiety before coming on the forums so I picked up my knitting needles and worked on a green beanie that I’m knitting for charity. I found that to help calm me down and I’m feeling a lot better now. I’m also watching the Australian Open on TV which has also been a good distraction for me.

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐

@Fluttershy1 a panic attack is no fun at all but I am glad you have something to focus your energy and attention on - sometimes it's just about waiting for the adrenaline to subside. Hope you're letting your creativity flow in your game! 😊

@Judi9877 @Shaz51 @Snowie today is not my day, got low blood pressure and I’m just really overwhelmed and upset today, I feel like my family don’t care about me. I just want to hide 😭

Re: Starting to struggle

Hi @Fluttershy1 I'm so sorry you're having a crappy day. Even worse when you feel like you're not able to get supported through that by your family. I guess there are a whole heap of reasons that the people close to us are not able to make the connection to us that we'd like them to. I'm glad you came to us.

If your instincts are telling you to hide, maybe you should listen to them and try to lay low today if you can? This might be a time for self-nurturing rather than trying to focus on things you can't change today.

Thanks for saying hi. I'll drop back in later, if you'd like to update us about how you're going. Can you make yourself your favourite warm beverage and pretend it's from me?

Hey @Former-Member - mum dragged me to work with her and I don’t even get paid for it, feeling overwhelmed and not feeling great. I just wanna run and hide, I hate myself some days….
