Starting to struggle

Fluttershy1Senior Contributor23 Dec 2021, 8:42 pm AEDT

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 a good time to grab your Switch then and play some games, right? 😝

But in all seriousness, I imagine some grounding might help. Music, munchies, pat the bunny, focus on the feeling of skin against whatever you're using to keep warm at present 💜

Re: Starting to struggle

Hi @Fluttershy1 !

Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply.

I was thinking of you so thought I’d pop by to see how you are going.

With my BPD, I never lashed out AT my treating team. But I did lash out TO them.

I understood that whatever was happening in me doesn’t mean I can lash out at therapists - that makes their job harder to work with you. If I wanted help, I’d have to respect and honour those helping me.

With that in mind, I was actually very much ‘liked’ by my treating team.

All in all, it worked for the good for both me and them. It was win-win.

Whatever it is, I believe there is no occasion or right for treating team to be disrespected. We are all human - it doesn’t mean they are perfect, but we need to also do the right thing.

Why I say this is because in my work, I see teachers being disrespected and abused everyday. Just because it is from students and parents, should they have the right?

I put myself in pdoc’s point of view. Just because of their job, is it right they should cop disrespect?

Sorry for this long-winded response. But your question has really means a lot to me.

Hope you have a good evening,

BPDSurvivor
