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

Am glad that you're safe @Fluttershy1 .

Might be worth doing some grounding, or using some sensory items? I am signing off for the night, but you can always tag in the next mod for some support if you need. You will get through this!!

Hi @Former-Member @BPDSurvivor @pamplemousse - today is feeling a little overwhelming for me, I don't like the heat and I feel like I'll be trapped in the house all day. Am safe

Re: Starting to struggle

Hey @Fluttershy1 ,

Yeah, it is hot on my side too. I've shut all the windows and closed the blinds so as to keep the cool in. Later, I'm going to the library and also buying some food because I'm having people over for NYE.

How's your cat in this heat?
