Something’s not right

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 .

Hey @Pollyotter I hope you are sound asleep now Hon

Sorry I disappeared - had some things to sort out.

Unfortunately I can't spray the walls with the configuration of the room. I do have a spray gun though and have had great pleasure in spraying my fence with it - that was fun Tobes of course helped and his little white fur turned grey in patches lol Took a couple of baths to get it all out

You are still up @Pollyotter Was really hoping you had crashed out again tonight

I found a pole for the roller - had a broom in the garage with a screw in handle and managed to get it undone - so can now do the ceiling. I hve clened up the loungeroom, moving out everything I could, so will get stuck into it tonight.

Wow I finally found the drop list.

Yhe it was quite the evening . I managed for get some sleep in between 2 and 5 .I was in the corner for alot of the time and we'll yhe you can just imagine . I'm back on the job site now to see if I can finish today. Lovley house was built in 1940.

I hope you didn't spend the whole night painting.how have you been otherwise

Re: Numb again

I didn't do any more of the painting last night @Pollyotter Had a small accident and hit my leg so thought it best to stop for the evening. That also meant I could wait until the plastered patches completely dried and have natural light today - especially for the ceiling. I have already sanded back those patches so it is all ready to paint now.

I hope you get your work done quickly and can have an early finish to the day again.

Yeah leg is okay @Pollyotter - bruised and sore but okay. One should not wear thongs to paint in lol

Re: Numb again

I hope you got to Hungry Jacks and are home now @Pollyotter

I have done all my shopping and unloaded the car - just need to put everything away but resting for a few minutes first. I have hit a wall this afternoon - sooo tired - so will probaby unpack the groceries and then have a sleep ...the painting will need to wait.
