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

Hey @Pollyotter I have put all the furniture back except the small table that needs to dry. Tobes is happy he has his bed and toys back in the loungeroom 👍🐶 It's quite strange because it all looks the same but so much nicer now it is all patched and painted. I washed the wooden blind today so it is now back to white rather then the brown colour it has been lol

I am as ready as I can be for tomorrow. We won't know how the week is going to look until tomorrow and then it will be a lot of trial and error to get into routines, do the online learning and work with the team. I am not really looking forward to it to be honest but it is what it is and we have to work through it.

How has your day been?

Ohh sounds like you powered to the end indeed. Congratulations.

So next week is online learning still. Not class room?

Re: Numb again

It is both @Pollyotter We have some kids in the classroom and our time will be divided between classroom learning and online learning. The kids that come will be divided into 2 classes so we will have both our kids and those from another class - then the online learning will be just for our own kids throughout the week. It is going to be full on doing both but it is the only way we can do it.

How are you feeling tonight?

Re: Numb again

I do enjoy my job when it is classroom teaching - not so much all the sitting around doing planning with others which is what we will be doing tomorrow. I have to make sure I get up and move around a lot otherwise my back hurts and by the time I get home all I can do is lie down @Pollyotter do you start super early again tomorrow?

In response to: Re: Numb again

Re: Numb again

Thanks @Pollyotter It is difficult for us - we are constantly told it is okay for kids to be at school yet everyone else in the world has to take precautions and social distance - it just doesn't work that way in a classroom
