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 hear you babe. @Pollyotter

Positive thoughts. Kind words to yourself and you'll get through it. You are a strong and determined person babe. Always full of funny and positive things to say to all of us here on the forum. Use those for yourself too. 💗

Ill get back to that .

Do you have alot of things to move? I will help move you in our minds. Im very good at it. I have moved 24 times in my 28 years on earth. Some would say that I am a pro at this point .

No much to move just the stuff we took to mums while I was with her for 4 weeks. I live literally around the corner. Just more of getting things back to normal at home and doing some cleaning out.

Re: Numb again

Hope the move goes well @Lee82

Hi @Pollyotter 😀

I would love to share wassabi nuts, M&Ms (peanut preferred), and red wine with you and @Lee82 .

@Zoe7 too if shes around.

Actually I am having a glass of good Shiraz wine myself right now. I too have been watching some heartwarming feel-good content. A show on Channel 10 called The Dog House. A British show where homeless dogs are matched up with suitable new owners. So yeah, a bit of food for the soul. Just finished now though.
