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

i know the pain and hurt friends can bring us, i have not had any friends IRL for over 20 years, it was so much hard work, they stayed around when they where getting things, when i refused they abandoned me, it is so hard to find a true friend, i have found a friend now who is the most amazing person, keep looking @Fluttershy1 there are amazing people out there, we ust have to work extra hard to find them.

im not sure how old you are but i find virtual friends while playing games help me a lot, i use a program called discord, they have all different types, you can talk and video chat.

maybe something to look into?

Hi @Fluttershy1

I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough evening 😕 It is so hurtful when we feel that from people we consider friends, people we hope to feel safe with. I hope you know that you are so valued here 💚

I wonder if there is a way you can help yourself feel a bit more safe and loved from within tonight? I know, for me, I try to be gentle and kind to myself when I am feeling vulnerable and abandoned as it's usually a time I can be so harsh and critical of myself.

Do take care @Fluttershy1

And to answer your q from earlier - I never got into the classic pokemon but I sense you might be slowly recruiting us 😉
