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

I feel safe here on forums @Peregrinefalcon, things are just tough at home, having to reach out more often and use my statergies. The heat isn't helping I can't get out of the house because it's too hot, I wanna hide. Am safe

Glad to see you are safe @Fluttershy1

Good on you for taking this as a time to use those strategies and reach out some more. Hopefully there is somewhere nice and cool-ish to have some time to yourself this afternoon 🙂

Re: Starting to struggle

@Peregrinefalcon @BPDSurvivor @Former-Member - why can people treat people badly when they are already unwell. I rang a service for support and they just pushed me away.

im struggling I feel alone. I feel like nobody cares I'm struggling with intrusive thoughts, I just feel overwhelmed and upset.

Services are supposed to be there to help you not push you away.
