Numb again

PollyotterSenior Contributor

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

@Lee82 @Pollyotter I agree, thanks.

i wasn't trying to brag, sorry about that. I was just thinking about it since we were talking about days like Christmas etc, but it's ok I'm not triggered or anything.

Didnt mean to sound selfish and make it about me there, sorry

Re: Numb again

No need to be sorry @Former-Member and you definitely don't sound selfish at all. That is something good and you should share that. Happy for you sweets. By the way I am 37. 😁
