Numb again

PollyotterSenior Contributor

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

Sure thing @Pollyotter

Actually I think I tagged you to my ptsd thread yesterday, and @Lee82 as well. But my thread has a permanent trigger warning attached, so I fully understand if you choose not to go there. 😀

I hope your work day is a good one. What line of work are you in? I dont recall reading. Only if you are comfortable in sharing. 💗
