Something’s not right

Starting to struggle

Fluttershy1Senior Contributor23 Dec 2021, 8:42 pm AEDT

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

@Jynx - find some funny memes or just sit with me and let me vent

Re: Starting to struggle

@Fluttershy1 yeah by all means have a vent, seems like you need to get some stuff off your chest.

I might post some memes later if I can, but I have been having trouble with my laptop (where all my memes are stored) so no promises unfortunately!

Re: Starting to struggle

@Jynx - I’m coming off meds to go onto new ones they have given me no support or anything for it, it’s stressful looking after grandma and her Huntingtons diseases and also trying to look after myself, I got told that my dad has given up on me and it has been making me feel so alone and not good enough. I just feel stressed and pressured to act like everything is okay when it isn’t. Trying to wean off old meds so I can start my new ones is hard. I’m just struggling right now. I feel so alone

Re: Starting to struggle

@Fluttershy1 haaaaa those are cute names. A very cool hobby! I mean I didn't even know one could own stick insects!

I really hear that you are dealing with a lot right now. Changing meds is never easy, and a comment like that on top of it all, wow. Not surprising you're feeling very emotional! 😞

Well I hope it's helpful to hang out here with your forums fam, and to be able to get some stuff off your chest 💜
