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 do that sometimes @Shaz51 it works quite well for me too

@Former-Member when your stressed or feeling really low your immune system is usually compromised. have you been getting out into the sun for at least 15 minutes a day? i knows theres VitD tablets but its still really godo for the body and mind to go outside into fresh air and sunlight as well. maybe set youself a goal of going outside for 15 minutes a day and even take a cuppa with you and jsut breathe.

I was doing that with Ruby daily, but all the rain stopped me & now I'm depressed I feel like the next door neighbours are looking at me & seeing that I am unwell, & think maybe I am strange or something because all have families & I have no one visiting or caring about me & I never go out anywhere & they may think that that no one cares about me, other things. I know I think I'm a bit paranoid atm sorry!!

try not to worry about what they think @Former-Member when paranoia creeps in it can be hard to push away. try to remember that its your life and your doing what you think is best for your health. if you think they are looking at you or if they are, just give a yell out 'hello' it usually works quite well with staring and often they dont realise they are looking or arent really sure what to say unless you say somethings first

Yes you are rite again, I am over thinking. That's why I have not been able to support many in here atm, as I am dealing with far too much myself. My encouragement is just what I am doing for myself & sharing with others to be truthful!

I better stop dumping on you, I feel terible as you are dealing with so much in your life atm too!

Thank you so very much, I love you forever!

Bella xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx & more!

I will go make a relaxing tea, & listen to music, 🙂

I will miss you!
