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 there.

It's all good I fully understand.

No sleep yet unfortunately. I have had 6 hours in 72 hours. I am really feeling the effects of if . My mental state is so bad at the moment where little pieces of joy gose by and I don't even notice it. I have tried different things but it dosnt click in my brain. The carpet under my bed is starting to take the form of my body and I couldn't really be bothered. Cleaning and hygienic routines have taken a back seat at this point . I think I am shutting down .

I hope your doing ok

Re: Numb again

Sorry for the late reply. I dropped my phone and smashed it. I had to wait to use my sons phone...

honey I totally understand and it would be ok if that happened. It helps to get out all your emotions if you break down. Wish I was there with you right now hun giving you that hug allowing you a safe space to cry and vent. 😘😘

Re: Numb again

Really sorry you are suffering so @Pollyotter 😔💕 Really glad that @Lee82 has been keeping a close eye out for you though. Please remember @Pollyotter that you can tag me any time. If I'm feeling okay enough, I am happy to try to help. If I'm not, then I know not to even try. Hope that makes sense.

For now though ... I'm sending you that hug you crave. 🤗

Re: Numb again

You are so beautiful @Pollyotter

How you feeling my sweets?

Thank you @Former-Member for your kind words and for offering to be there for @Pollyotter too I feel she needs a little more support but I'm not sure how to get that for her

@Zoe7 was a great support for her too but but she has taken a break. I am actually a little worried about our friend Zoe too. It's been a very long time since she has been on

@Pollyotter I am here for a while if you would like to have chat
