@Sans911 @outlander @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7
Thanks to you all, makes me feel a bit better now. I have internal reactions too but guess just didn't expect for it to happen there. I thought if it would happen it would be with my psychologist where the sessions are a lot more stressful. They just won't stop lately, two in particular ![]()
@outlanderI too fidget a lot with my hands. I have constantly got a stressball in my hand to save my hands.

@Sans911she was concerned, she was just about to call an ambulance but I 'came out' of it if you could say that. So today became another write off like yesterday was.
I hope everything is as good as it can be with you today. I think we all need hugs atm ![]()

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Former-Member My internalising of those feelings have been from a very early age. I learnt to 'cover up' how I was feeling to hide what was happening for me. As the years progressed - and I had to deal with repeated trauma - it was necessary to internalise those feelings/emotions in order to survive - and to keep so many 'secrets'. That is a big part of why I can now not deal with my past. It is too hard to 'talk' about what I endured for so long. I literally cannot find the words - but the result is that the physical effects are massive. It really is continued re-traumatisation over and over again. Even when someone has seen how I react when this happens, I am still not able to explain how I feel or what is going on for me.
This is incredibly hard, that I do get, and it does help me knowing that others here understand these effects without having to talk with any detail. Sometimes things cannot be put into words - they just ARE - and that is both incredibly hard to deal with and to live with ![]()

@Zoe7I can so relate to what you have written. It is hard to talk about what happened and I am not sure if I ever will be able to. And I donlt think I would have the words to as you say.
No some things cannot be put into words but having the support on here does help. Big hugs for you hun ![]()

Big hugs for you too @Former-Member
Together we can help shoulder the pain and hold each other up when we cannot hold ourselves up - knowing that - without words - we understand ![]()
