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

I also really enjoyed your post. Thank you. @Pollyotter

It is an interesting journey the healing path. I keep learning, but the knowledge that one can share it with others is priceless. Owning our stories is part of it.

So glad you are here.
