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

Thanks for you kind words @Pollyotter wish I could come too.

unfortunately Mother's Day is more about my mum as she has to be the center of attention all the time and everyone has to wait hand and foot on her so won't be much of a Mother's Day for me. Not really in the mood for celebrating Mother's Day for me anyway. Don't feel I'm deserving of it. So I will just drink a bottle of wine and wing myself through it as best I can.

Re: Numb again

No worries @Lee82 Been a slow day for me. Slept a lot, did some painting and finished the last coat of stain on my table before I spray it. It has been raining most of the day so I couldn't finish it today. Hopefully tomorrow will be clear and I can do the 2 coats of spray varnish to finsih it.
