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

I'm so sorry things aren't picking up for you. Is there anything in particular that's triggering your feelings? I totally understand that feeling of not being able to pull yourself out of your pain. It can feel neverending. Can you do something nice for yourself this afternoon to keep you a little busy?

Re: Starting to struggle

Oh yes I hear you! Med change is super hard. I have done it a few times. I hope things start to improve soon for you. My little mantra when I was struggling was 'every storm runs out of rain'...it got me through some hard days, knowing that eventually things would settle down.
