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 .

Re: Numb again

Hey, there all the lovely people on the road to Narnia.

I hope you are all having a peaceful evening.

I am in my bunker waiting for the Mental health bombs to drop. As I feel something coming on I just have a few random things that come to mind. feel free to tell me to buzz off if you want to.

We have been through a lot in life and in different ways.

we feel powerless and hopeless at different stages and we tend to forget that we do have that bit of pezzazz left in us. Be it to do basic things like looking after yourself or getting out from your bunker, not knowing what will happen or how we will react I think keeping things in mind like you showing strength and courage to get this far is a huge step. We are all fabulous and beautiful even if we don't always think about it. Digging deep in your heart and mind is exhausting and I fully understand this. But also take the time to see around you the things and people or pets showing your love. if you are like me and pop down to the servo where John knows me by name and knows what I am there to shop for then hey that is ok.

P.S I haven't slept in a long time so I am sorry if its all gibberish

I want to feel positive again too. I am just finding it hard to find that right now. Nothing seems positive right now.

@Pollyotter nothing to look forward to.

Re: Numb again

Sounds perfect @Pollyotter 👍

Trying to calm myself after a panic attack a while ago. Some red wine and chocolate M&Ms will go down nicely I think. Just please dont allow me to overindulge. 💕
