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 .

Hey @Former-Member I don't want to discourage you in any way here but can I suggest you read back over the last couple of pages here so you are aware of what is going on for @Pollyotter It is sometimes hard for us to go over things again when it has already been written so please have a look then jump back in here with both of us - you are very welcome.

Re: Numb again

If you find the right person @Pollyotter then it will not matter what you have to deal with or even how you are at certain times. These things you work out together. You may even find that your ptsd is better when you are in a loving, stable and equal relationship. Either way - you don't have to rush these things - if it happens, it happens. I still believe in love - and with that comes a new light into your life where everything shines a litte brighter and that darkness (and PTSD) lessens a little more each day. Never say never - hope is enough.

Same here. @Pollyotter

@Zoe7 I'll leave this thread I guess, wasn't trying to upset anybody, feels like I have though. I did read the very first post here. Sorry to intrude on you both.

You are not intruding @Former-Member nor upsetting anyone. You are most welcome here just thought it might help you to be up to speed - no drama at all.
