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

Lockdown doesn't affect me much as I am a homebody anyway @Lee82 But yes Tobes is taking time to get back into the normal routine. This morning was the first morning this week that he went into his room before I left - his usual routine is that he follows me around every morning until I am ready and then he takes himself off to his bed in the spare room. He is certainly very happy when I get home though.

That is the cutest thing ever @Zoe7.

Boris loves to sleep on top of me. That is when I let him sleep with me...lol

I use to always wake up with either his foot in my face or his bum or he will snore so loudly in my ear...lol

Re: Numb again

Tobes sleeps on the pillow next to me @Lee82 and often stretches out and kicks me in the head lol ...or barks in his sleep when he is having puppy dreams - and he is sooooo loud but fortunately that doesn't happen often.
