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

Hey @Fluttershy1

It sounds like it is an especially difficult time at the moment which is completely understandable. "Anniversary" dates can be really tough.

At the same time - what an amazing achievement! I hope that there can be a part of you that feels proud of yourself. You have shown that you have incredible resilience and can cope with really hard times - even when you doubt yourself.

Of course, please feel free to reach out to any of the 24/7 services over the weekend if these thoughts feel overwhelming. In the meantime, we are always here to sit with you.

Kind regards

Re: Starting to struggle

Hey @Shaz51 @Former-Member @BPDSurvivor @Peregrinefalcon @Judi9877 - I’m struggling things are tough. I’ve become more quiet and have been withdrawing myself from everyone. I feel like I’m not myself and I’m just falling apart. I can’t trust anyone at the moment.
