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

@Fluttershy1 Panic attacks are no fun. I hope you are doing some nice deep breathing, it will help soothe the adrenaline.

Is there anything you can tell yourself, something you feel proud of, or something that has made you feel happy lately that you can reflect on to help be an antidote to these feelings?

Re: Starting to struggle

Hmm well I can probably help out @Fluttershy1 ,

First off you're a wonderful part of this community. Always sharing wonderful quotes and ideas (and creating awesome threads for it too), ready to support others, and willing to be vulnerable with us all. You're very kind hearted and you're always willing to go out of your way to support others.

I think all that is worthy of remembering any time you feel like a let down. Cos you're actually far more of a lift up! 💜
