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 .

I am very grateful that you have a support system at work. I hope they can help you in all the darkness. But I know you can come out on top of this as you are a savage. ( A savage is in my circle of friends is a strong woman) . Please remember that I am here for you as a sounding board as well.

Don't try to save face! it drains a lot out of you. Even the superwoman needs to wash her cape every now and then .
