Life and trauma

Yes @Oaktree I am too. I was chatting to @Former-Member last night and she was finding it difficult to settle.

@MJG017 was chatting with her earlier in the evening.

@Former-Member is usually on the forums a fair bit but thought she had an anonymity issue, so maybe keeping a low profile

How are you @Oaktree ?

Hi @Till23

I have been struggling with a personal issue especially the last 3 days but also for several months before that. Something that came up in therapy. I had a particular therapy today to try and help me distance my feelings from the memories. I still feel really anxious and distressed. Maybe it’s not as bad as it would have been but there is no way to tell

@Oaktree I was just reading a little bit in My Place thread.

First of all congratulations on your excellent results for your studies.

I went through a period in 2022, where I was being triggered by daily radiotherapy for cancer and having flashbacks and nightmares every night sometimes multiple per night and every week was discussing these with psychologist which sometimes then brought up other half-remembered things. So I can possibly empathise to some degree with your experience. It was a very difficult time, but I eventually got through it. You will get through it too. Using any and all of your self-care strategies will help.

What are your go to self-care strategies?

@Oaktree simple answer is no I'm not ok. I can't say much on here but thankyou for the concern.

Hello @MJG017, hope you are doing ok and surviving the heat.

Hi @Former-Member

Barely surviving. I'm sorry to hear you're not okay.

@MJG017 life just likes to keep throwing sh!t my way.

Looks like the weather is dropping next week, I'm looking forward to that.

@moderator is there someone on that I can talk to regarding getting things removed please.

Hi @Former-Member

Can you please email that into team@saneforums.org and the Community Managers will be able to help you with that during business hours.

All the best and please stay safe yeah

Hi @Former-Member

I am sorry to hear you are not okay.

I know that things are really difficult for you right now.

But we are thinking of you and hope to be able to chat with you, when you can. I’ll definitely be looking forward to that.
