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

Hey @Snowie @Jynx @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Peregrinefalcon @tyme @Former-Member and anyone else passing by,

Been feeling unwell due to the heat, just keeping low key. I’ve been really emotional and I don’t know how I feel. Everything feels all complicated and confusing…..

Re: Starting to struggle

Hey @Fluttershy1, I'm just about to pop out but was wondering whether you'd ever used the emotion wheel? I suspect you might have, but if not here is a link that walks you through it. Sometimes when I experience really big emotions they all seem to jumble into one and this has helped me make sense identifying what I'm feeling.

Sending ice blocks your way, and I hope the heat eases up for you soon 💙

Aww hugs @Fluttershy1, sounds like a super difficult one.

Migraines are horrible, I hope you're in a nice dark, quiet space where you can get some rest 💜

Re: Starting to struggle

Oh wow, sounds rough @Fluttershy1

Not much to do then but ride it out I suppose. But some choccies and Disney movies along the way can't hurt 😉

She is wild, maybe some kitty pics will help cheer you up 😻
