Hi all
I’ll be spending some time away from the forums since I’m not doing so good, no safety concerns, but I think I’m just simply too much for everyone here on the forums. My emotions are too much. May brain is too much. I don’t want to drown people in my pain, everyone is better off with me off the forums. I hope our paths cross again. Will say goodbye and wish you all the best. Sorry for being a pain

I don't think that is weird @creative_writer
I think there is no right or wrong way to react to something.

@creative_writer have you got some coping tools in place when you get body flashbacks? If not perhaps you can develop a list that you can use when things get overwhelming for you.
I find if it's written down then I am more likely to try it.
