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 .

I am not actually but I am going to keep you save from that. Not because I don't trust you but because it's bad . I hope lifeline helps you . I have hung up as I have been waiting for a long time

Re: Numb again

@Pollyotter I'm sorry you didn't get through to Lifeline. Would you like any numbers and/or websites to look at instead?

You can tell me if you wish, but I'm not forcing you. I'm here to listen and support you the best I can though.

I hung up the Lifeline webchat because the lady was nice but wasn't helpful and took ages to reply so I thought "screw this" and ended the chat.

Hey there guys . its 04:57 and I have just come down from a cluster of panic attacks and flashbacks. My mind is in so much pain and my heart isnt far behind. It is amazing to me how something like the words of someone can crippel you like this. I have grown used to things like body spray or being alone with an un known male setting me off but not the threat of the action.

My body is reacting in a way that I dont know and I think that freaks me out the most . I have gone into the dark place several times tonight and I was alsmost this close to phoning 000 .

I must admit that even while sitting here writting this I am not doing good. in my imaginatoin I am just dreading the whole thing . What if it really happens.I know driving myself crazy with what ifs isnt a good idea but I cant calm my mind. I dont know if you know vaping but I have smoked a 100ml bottle of vape juice in 24 hours .

Luckily I was in my bed the whole time tonight so I will not be walking funny .

I hope you all are doing well and are taking care of yourself
