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

Hi @Pollyotter , I just wanted to say hello and I've missed you all. I hope this is the right thread to reach you on, I couldn't find any others that were recent so I do apologise.

It's been a while and I've been thinking of you and others, and missed chatting. I'm off for now but I'll try to catch up with you at some other point.

Take care and be safe. Hi to everyone else here. @Pollyotter @Zoe7 and others I've missed, sorry if I didn't tag anyone

(PS - sorry to randomly comment on this thread, I know its sort of an old one now).
