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 worried about @Zoe7 as well. Miss hearing about Toby and Cat.

I'm feeling ok. I have been working to see if I can tire myself out for tonight. How are you

Its great you are keeping busy honey but just please be careful you don't over do it. When do you see your psychiatrist?

Re: Numb again

Yes thats very true @Pollyotter @Lee82 ... @Zoe7 is a wonderful support for a great many of us here on the forums. Myself included, so I too miss her very much. She has been offline since one brief post last Friday. Though she had been quiet for a while before that. I'm sure she will be fine because I know she has great offline professional support if she needs it. I hold onto the hope that she feels able to return here soon.

But in the meantime I am here if you ever choose to tag me. A poor substitute for Zoe, I know, but you have my word that I will try my best.

Ok 2 weeks is not that far away. So hopefully he will be able to help you with your sleep and anxiety.

My week has been a pretty rough week too @Pollyotter hasn't been the best transition back to home.

It isn't far but it feels like forever away. But I have some things that will help. I am under the bed at the moment. I feel better here as bad as it sounds.

I'm sorry that it has been bad. Home is supposed to be where you feel save and at your best

Re: Numb again

Oh sweetie. I hope there is room for me under your bed. I would love to join you. I'm feelin like I would love to hide from the world too. 😞

@Pollyotter

It's a daily struggle to get up and make it through the day. Not sure how much longer I can keep it up for.

@Lee82

I will always have room for you and @Former-Member and @Zoe7 and ofcourse Toby.

I fully understand that it takes alot outta you hun. You are so loved and even if we never know one another I do deeply care for you. You have a strength in you that you have used before. I know it is draining and I know it is hard but you can do this . Some self love is a good thing in this situation . Even if it's going to the servo to get a lolly
