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

Do you have a photo of trixie? @Jynx

Things with family are hard, they are being judgemental and making me pay for stuff that they should be paying for. I feel like a mess.
it’s hard acting like everything is okay when it isn’t my whole world falling apart.

I keep forgetting to take my meds or I will take them to late so I’m feeling horrible when I forget to take them in the morning. Everything feels like a mess sometimes.

one of my support workers has covid aswell so I hardly have anyone and I don’t like meeting new people as I find it really overwhelming.

my ex boyfriend keeps private calling me and making me feel worse about myself. And yeah. It’s just abit crazy at the moment.

Been struggling with my thoughts aswell but have managed them really well even when they are constant.

I’ve been having flashbacks of the past aswell which is unsettling.

am safe.

Re: Starting to struggle

@Fluttershy1 wow, a lot to be navigating right now!

Amazing to hear that you're managing your thoughts, that is worthy of admiration I reckon. And it's a skill too, sounds like you've been honing it well 😊

Flashbacks are tricky hey, really hard to ignore. I know you're a pro at grounding though, so I hope you can keep making that effort to tether yourself to the present moment - to the knowledge you are safe, you are moving forward, you are well past those times now.

Sucks about your ex harassing you! I never answer phone numbers I don't know, because if they do know me they can leave a message! But still, very distressing to have your phone be a source of possible triggers. Would it be worth changing your number? If you have an e-sim, I think you only need to call up your service provider to change it. If it's a physical sim you probs need to go into a store though. But it should be free and done in next to no time.

I keep my fingers crossed your support worker has a swift recovery so you can see them again. Always helps to have that in-person interaction hey.

Here's Trixie!

Lol trixie looks not impressed with the photo being taken @Jynx - just taking it day by day, you know I will get there eventually. I am having sticky date pudding for dinner because I don’t wanna cook.

I recently saw fantastic beasts the secrets of dumbledore which was amazing!!

Stitch my bunny is really helping me, she is so funny she had a nap in her bed on my bed with me which was really cute

Re: Starting to struggle

@BPDSurvivor - can you sit with me for abit?

I have a question for you but if you don’t feel comfortable you don’t have to answer it.

with your BPD a and your rapid mood swings how do you manage it and try not to lash out on your support team?

am safe

Re: Starting to struggle

@Fluttershy1 Stitch is such a CUTIE!! Haha yes Trixie was napping and I think I disturbed her, hence the dirty look 🤣

Sticky date is honestly one of the best desserts around - I wholly support you gifting yourself some food for the soul 💜

Hmm movies... I haven't seen many lately, except the latest Spider-Man film which was pretty darn good. I've been re-watching Stranger Things so I can get all caught up and be able to watch the latest season!

Re: Starting to struggle

Yeah she didn’t look impressed @Jynx - gave me

a laugh though.

stitch likes to stir Romeo up, Romeo is scared of stitch which is funny.

I love sticky date pudding with ice cream it’s the bestttt
