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 .

Hellooo there. How are you

In response to: Re: Numb again

Re: Numb again

Thanks for asking @Pollyotter . 💕Been struggling a lot with nightmares and flashbacks this past week or two. Trying to ride out the storm though.

Anyway I thought you may be a bit lonely right now. Some of your biggest supporters here appear to be a bit quiet, taking time out, or struggling themselves. @Zoe7 @Lee82 @outlander @Former-Member

So I thought I would let you know Im around, if you would ever like to tag me. 😀

Wow that is so nice if you. Thank you so much. Yhe I think the family are taking some time for them self-care times . And that is all good. I know they are still around even if they are silent for now.

I am sorry your struggling. Do you have a cave or something to help with all them nasty that pops up.

Re: Numb again

Ha ha, yes I saw you building a cave, or safe place, with @Zoe7 some time back @Pollyotter 😀 Really pleased that its been an effective strategy for you.

I have my little dog Holly, see profile pic, and she helps to keep me a little grounded.

I do apologise, but I have to go now. Husband duties to attend to, and breakfast to get prepared. My morning lie in has ended.

Will check in on you later if I can, but please feel free to tag me anytime. Im never far away. 💕
