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.

Re: Starting to struggle

you might need to slower it right down then - say do something for 10 mins then stop. I can't remember your story and what is overwhelming you.

i get overwhelmed a lot lately, i have to stop and just do the bare minimum, do a little bit at a time, then rest, the continue. hope this makes sense @Fluttershy1
