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

Hey @Fluttershy1 hope you are doing ok and that your migraine improved. I had a really really rough day yesterday, but then thankfully a productive conversation with doctor and also manager at work. I’ll be taking another week off work as meds need more time to kick into gear. Taking it slow this morning, just listening to music and chilling on the couch

Hey @Fluttershy1

So a change is about to occur and it might take a bit to adapt as you leave your existing comfort zone. What was it you used to enjoy about school? I honestly love the interaction when I get to talk about something I am passionate about. I would love to hear about the subject you love and why you love it?

Re: Starting to struggle

Sorry to hear that, @Fluttershy1. There's no understanding some people, is there? Take care. Parallel path here.
