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 .

Wow Polly, 3 hours isn't much but if that is enough for you then I am glad you got it. Thanks to my meds I managed my 5hrs and that will get me pass lunch then a nap.

Hope your day is a good one.

It is afternoon here

@Pollyotter @Former-Member @Former-Member @Shaz51

Had a big meeting. Nearly 2 hours holding phone to my ear caused a cramp in my forearm. My Musculoskeleton system is touchy as.

Hope the day treated you reasonably.

Hey beautiful. I hope you are doing good.

I was admitted to emergency on Monday and I am now only home.

I am sleeping off the effects of everything.

Re: Numb again

Hey Lee

it was just too much. We helped this father with food and I dropped it off and he freaked out. He wanted the money and not the actual food. Never mind that his son started to eat the bread while I was standing there. He grabbed my shoulders and shook me and said a few things that I can't repeat. I ended doing something that well. you can imagine... I am not proud of what I had done. It was just too much and the words didn't want to leave my head.
