Something’s not right

I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

I have realised why I am like I am, I have had one traumatic life changing experience after another in my life. I looked in the mirror & went into shock as I didn't recognize myself. I have been running on near empty now for many years. The whole experience which led up to the Major life saving Spinal Surgery, which I had 15 month ago, has drained & frightened me so much that I am concerned about everything now. My family & any friends I ever had are distant, & have no sincere care or understanding for me, they do not care. I am all alone & not knowing what to do about anything, the nitmares, anxiety attackes, & feelings of not coping, can be crippling? Can you understand & relate to what I have shared, & would you like to help in some way, by sharing anything that I can use too, that will help?

Thank you,

Bella

Re: I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

I thought of phoning LifeLine but I don't think I can talk attm, I can only type. As apart fron shocking body pain that has been depressing me something bad. I have managed to do some house work that needed doing. I thought how much better I was getting even tho this pain is sort of too much for me & I am taking all the pain meds that I am prescribed & they wear off too early. I wasn't taking so many for a while but that changed when I caught the flu recently. I think I'm rambling because I feel stunned at watch I watched & heard a few minutes ago
