@Former-Member It's pretty hard when I do eventually open up I remember what happened when I did prior then too a longgggg time ago. I was attacked!!! I am attacking everyone Hence my song the other day on a music thread.
I don't expect responses and I don't feel left left out I have made it this far on my own and hid what i have been through repetively at times. It does not matter what I do when I don't talk about it I am doing something wrong when I do talk about it I am doing something wrong again
I don’t know what has happened but I am feeling a lot of emotions and remembering quite a bit @Zoe7

Re: My journey
Can you use your senses at the moment to help ground you a bit more @Former-Member - I know that is not always possible when you feel the way you do but it might be worth giving it a try to help reduce some of the stress!

Re: My journey
Breathing is quite important when you feel like that @Former-Member - does having a ciggie help when you feel panicky?

Re: My journey
If it helps in the short term to lower your stress levels then that is ok @Former-Member - when you are feel panicky whatever helps is ok. I cuddle Toby and that helps me - to feel his warmth is soothing, and he gives me licks and that makes me smile. Can you give your daughter a huge hug - I know she is not as fluffly as Toby but you would feel the same warnth and love.
