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

Good afternoon @Fluttershy1!

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling that way.

Always remember that just because we are having these thoughts, it does not necessarily mean they are true!

I hope there is something nice and fun or relaxing that you can do this afternoon to take care of yourself 😊

That sounds really tough. We are all sitting with you here.

It could be a good time to try to do some grounding exercises or use any sensory items that you might have.

You can get through this, you are stronger than you know!
