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 .

Im doing good. Feels like I have a squeeze going on around my ribs but that's ok. Taking it easy.

Mmm...that don't sound too good @Pollyotter I think you may need an x ray to see if you have punctured your lung.

If it gets any worse then I will. Now it's just uncomfortable.

How is your day going .

Hey @Lee82 @Pollyotter I have been asleep most of the morning as I was still feeling very unwell. Still not feeling great but will see how I am going later today then make a decision on work for tomorrow.

Love to you both

My day has been ok. Just trying to get some cleaning done as I haven't cleaned my house in a very long time. My 9 year old is giving me grief today. I just want to walk out the front door and not stop. Being stuck at home with each other for weeks on end is getting to both of us and now we have another 6 weeks to get through.
@Pollyotter

please look after yourself hun. 💗

@Zoe7 I'm so sorry to hear that you are still feeling unwell but glad to hear you have been resting. Hopefully after one more day of rest will do the trick for you and you can get back to your kids tomorrow ❤️
sending you gentle hugs

Re: Numb again

I hope I can make it tomorrow @Lee82 but will need to improve a lot this afternoon to be able to do that. I am on class tomorrow and that takes a lot of energy so if I am still not feeling good it will be a very hard day. Need to try to eat soon and that will be a real test.

Just take it easy hun. If you need to take a other day off then so be it. You have to look after you first but I am sure you are already doing that.
@Zoe7 ❤️
