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

Happy you are safe @Fluttershy1 . I believe that your ability to know if you are safe demonstrates heightened emotional intelligence. Thankyou💗💜💗

I imagine that panic attack & breakdown would be very scary & might take some time to recover & feel at 'baseline' again. I don't know if you feel like talking to sane counselor would help?

It's ok to feel overwhelmed, & so brave & I think healthy, to be about to share it. I like to be slow & gentle with myself, I know it is very difficult tho xx
