Numb again

Numb again

I have tried contacting online support but everything is unavailable or offline .

I was raped 7 years ago and things happen so I made myself numb and supprised everything. I learned about the breathing techniques as well as the 5,4,3,2,1 tool. Tonight it's not working . I am having flash backs like crazy and I can't get my mind and body to calm down to relax and sleep . At this stage I am in for a night of night terrors and I can't do that again tonight. I am shutting down again but not sure how to stop it .

Re: Numb again

@Pollyotter thanks, same to you. Feel like I screwed everything up in the tough times thread for one (I said it seemed like no one was around when I needed support but that was a misunderstanding so I apologised). I don't think before I do and say things now I'm just regretting it a lot and feel like I ruined everything, sigh. I'm sorry everyone.

I also tried to help one person, they were talking about some dark stuff, and they were just rude to me, told me to go away and leave them in peace, when I was trying to help. Now I'm in a dark place and feeling unwanted and unneeded because of that, when I was just trying to show that I care (not any of you, a new person here). Yes I told mods.

i am sorry that happened. Sometimes people dont want to hear everyones help or advice. I think it is something you need to keep in mind while on your road to mental wellbeing . You are a great person and I think you are a very caring person . I know there are people here who do apreciate you being with us and having you here has been great. Unfortunatly you will het a..holes all over the world and its up to us to let someone effect your lives or not. It may be something that you could work on to protect yourself. I am not saying dont ever let people in.
