Re: im back..... i think

I know @Spookytookims i want to go to the sessions and try to get better
I think all the stress of everything is just getting to me and its really making me feel unwell and rwally achey.
Im trying to think positive but those flashbacks and forward things are over taking me. My rational mind seems to be out the window. My brain is that skewed uo its telling me the nurse is going to abuse me when i go in there even though i keep telling myself its not going to happen.
No i dont know what they are @Spookytookims except today and thats it

@outlander ok I'll try to remember and list some that I can think of.

  • you enjoyed your trip - even though you had things you needed to put to the back of your mind... that was a huge achievement.
  • You made good decisions with some toxic relationships that were very hard to do but you did them because you knew to make the right decisions.
  • You faced your fears and went to two very difficult appointments because you knew it was better to face them than run away.
  • You renamed yourself brave and courageous.. because this week has showed that you are and even if you didn't fully realise it, it was part of your subconscious choosing it.
  • You made really good choices in regards to self care, excellent choices in fact

There's just a few off the top of my head I can think of. None of them are small fry things. I think you are underestimating yourself and that pesky ant should be tapping you on the shoulder right now.

That's not say what you are feeling is not valid, it is very much so. But... also you should think about how much you are achieving so you get a true balance of how great you are doing.

My adult child got the dream job they really wanted @outlander 🙂 They still haven't finished the certification course, but the employer told them that they by-passed all the other resume's they had because they were specifically wanted! I know I'm a Chicken, but tonight I'm a brilliantly coloured Peacock, with a fully fanned out tail! I have never amounted to much outlander, and I certainly couldn't help with any of their studies - and they have stressed and stressed over this course, almost giving up a week or so ago. But even before making it, they have made it - it can happen! 🙂

It is tough when first dealing with SA memories/feelings/emotions.
I wish there was an easier way to get through it. You will get through it, it does become easier. I hope that you will get to see the counsellor very soon.

Re: im back..... i think

I feel like i was living under a rock @Former-Member and when i actually said those words it really hit me i didnt realise how much my brain blocked out but its making up for it now. If i cant handle this how am i going to handle the yp coming sessions.

In response to: im back..... i think

Re: im back..... i think

You will handle it @outlander
I survived, you will too.
I know it's awful remembering.
I remember how awful I felt, but it does get easier.

Re: im back..... i think

im glad you can see that @Spookytookims yes i did do all those things i guess

i really dont feel brave and courageous i feel like a very small scared coward of a mouse hiding under a rock and not knwing what to do or where to go from here

i didnt see the trip or the freindship dealings as a big deal Spooky i seen them as i needed to do them
