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

Nope @Paperdaisy - feeling upset. I feel abandoned and like a let down.

Re: Starting to struggle

Those feelings can be hard to deal with @Fluttershy1 but you're not abandoned, we are here with you. Asking for support is a really courageous thing. Are you able to reach out to the Support centre today so you can talk this through with someone? 💝

Re: Starting to struggle

Hi @Fluttershy1 have you tried some sleeping music, I find it very helpful when I am anxious.
