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 .

My anxiety is getting the better of me but I am trying to control it. I am at the moment making a mars bar slice for tomorrow.
yea I can see that a closet can feel that way. Anyway you can maybe leave the door open even just a little.

Re: Numb again

You have upset me @Former-Member 😢 .. Very much so.

Like you, I too am very sensitive, and any conflict upsets me a great deal. It causes a flight or need to escape response in me.

However, I already told you on the other thread that I had accepted your apology. And at the same time I apologised to you for any offense caused.

I was simply making a well meaning suggestion which I had hoped would benefit you. Obviously there is no obligation to take on board any suggestions made. That is your choice. 💓

I am unsure why the discussion was brought to this thread? This is not a thread I tend to visit as the content is often very triggering for me. @Jynx

Sorry for the intrusion on your thread @Pollyotter 💜

Please dont worry @Former-Member .. no hard feelings on my part okay? So rest easy. But please ... lets just drop the subject now.

I wish I could pick you up to come with me. I have a thing of I make work fun for myself. Music playing and snacks and my vape and then I go from there. Work hard then I get tired enough to have more then 3 hours sleep most of the time.

I still think you should do something for yourself. You deserve to be spoiled
