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

@Fluttershy1 med change is really tough, I've had to change meds twice in my journey. I'm wondering how it's affecting you? I'm sorry to hear your family hasn't been supportive during this period

Re: Starting to struggle

@Fluttershy1 hang in there👍💗

Families can mean well, they can also upset and hurt us. They are the ones closer to us.

I don't know if this is same type of stick insect or adult & your are young?

Re: Starting to struggle

They are cute @Fluttershy1 thanks for explaining difference. I have learnt something new today!

Nature is really incredible. Your spiny leaf & my 'stick like' would nearly be impossible to see in own habitat.

The wind was blowing and my stick insect was bobbing back and forth, trying to hold on. It looks delicate - also very strong💪💜

Do you like lizards?
