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

I loooove the idea of making one out of old CDs @Pollyotter Great thinking Hon.

Then @Lee82 can bring hers too and we can have 2 dance floors going at once 👍 The effect of 2 disco balls in the room would be awesome.
