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

I get that. Sometimes you just can't explain why you have then. It can be very confusing and frustrating. I'm with you.

Re: Numb again

Things have been real rough at the moment @Pollyotter

my night meds are not really working anymore so I am waking up in the middle of the night not being able to go back to sleep. Been having FB and panic attacks as well. All I have been doing is trying to make it through each day. I feel like I am only existing not living. How was your day today hun?

Hey Lee.

I am sorry things are not going as planned.

When will you be able to have your meds re-evaluated?

Its is harder on yourself if you only feel like you just are on this planet.

Take it easy on yourself hey. make contact with a friend of a friendly voice

Oh my gosh @Pollyotter have you been to the doctors?
I'm so sorry to hear that hun. You must be in a bit of pain. Sending you the gentlest hug I can. ❤️

No, I didn't go. I have had broken ribs before so I do know what they are going to say or do.

No blood or pooling and it hasn't stuck into something. I have bandaged it up to stop moving as much as possible. so now I am just taking it easy.
