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

It sounds like it was a terrible day, a day that you didn't deserve. But you're brave and kind and so very valuable.

Tears and sleep will come in time, and tomorrow will be a little better.

Thanks for letting us know that you're safe ❤️

Re: Starting to struggle

It sounds like you're feeling really stuck with thoughts about today @Fluttershy1 like those thoughts are going around and around in your head.

Do you think talking it out might be helpful to get it off your mind?

You could talk about it here, journal about it privately, or use one of the 24hr telehealth services?

Whatever you need to leave today behind you and make your way gently through tonight 🙏

Re: Starting to struggle

@moxi - do my so called friend was extremely rude to me which triggered me and really upset me. I’ve been having flashbacks and panic attacks. Been having nightmares hence why I’m still awake am scared to fall asleep. Am safe though.

trying to deal with family conflict aswell doesn’t help. I’m trying to be strong and brave but sometimes it can be harder than other days. I think I might enjoy space to myself for a little bit tonight hopefully. Feeling restless aswell. Am safe

feeling mixed emotions

Re: Starting to struggle

@Fluttershy1 That does sound really overwhelming 😞

But I can hear that you're doing what you can to look after yourself, I trust that you know what's best for you.

You're doing great. I hope that kitty of yours is looking after you 🐈
