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 .

Good luck with it @Pollyotter I hope you make a little extra cash for yourself as well as have fun doing it. I used to work a stall at our local market for someone - it was great fun but tiring. The day went really quickly when it was busy though.

Re: Numb again

It is certainly cold here tonight @Pollyotter I am sure we will have snow on the mountain in the morning. We are only expecting 11 tomorrow so it will most likely be 0 on the mountain.

Mr Tobes is asleep all spread out on the doona. He will get up soon when I do to feed him and Cat their biscuits ...have to get Cat's biscuits out of the car first - left some of the shopping there and haven't retrieved it yet.

I have washed up though so that is one job done that I needed to do. I will do some washing tonight too and put it on the clotheshorse to dry. With the heater on it should dry quickly.

Wow insane temperature.

It's amazing how fast they react to treats isn't it?
But the pure love .

Sounds like you have a domestic evening planned ahead?

Re: Numb again

I have unpacked the car and have the first load of washing on @Pollyotter Next is pick up Toby's toys and straighten out his bed on the floor. He has already done his run, roll and bark thing and is curled up on the doona again. Just waiting for Cat to come in from outside and then I can close the door and keep the warmth in. Watching Escape to the Chateau then will switch over to ABC to watch Silent Witness ...that is my evening sorted.

Re: Numb again

I am not surprised @Pollyotter Up early in the cold is tiring. Hope you get in some sleep when you return home and snuggle into your bed. Tobes is asleep on the couch and is in her room. It is really cold and windy here so I am not going outside unless I can help it.

You have the right idea.

If I try to this again please slap me

In response to: Re: Numb again

Re: Numb again

Certainly won't be slapping you @Pollyotter I summise the morning was hard - is that because it was cold or just really full on?

Re: Numb again

@Zoe7
Combo of cold and full on. I know 100% now that I am not a people person
