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 .

Re: Numb again

@Lee82 that's true and yeah maybe, hope the social worker is ok. I guess these things happen.

As for eHeadspace it's no big loss, it looks like I can still use email and web counselling. I get ignored most of the time on those group chats anyway

Re: Numb again

Well at least you know that you are not ignored here. @Former-Member

Yea things do happen unfortunately that we cannot control. I had an appointment today that was cancelled as well. It was pretty important as it was to do with my meds but now have to wait till next monday.

Re: Numb again

@Lee82 thats true, maybe its for the best about eHeadspace. Oh well I'll try not to let it get me down, I just blocked the email for the group chat as not to remind myself of it, I don't think I'll use eHeadspace or maybe email counselling, I can't delete my account on there so I might have to email them asking, I don't know. I'll try to stop thinking of it and not let it get me down. Sorry for bringing it up.

Oh I'm sorry about your appointment, that sucks.

It was weird today and I had a lot of anxiety because my ears were burning and really red (not sure if thats true when someone talks about you that that happens) and they were for a while, so I hope it was nothing bad especially with my Psychiatrist talking bad stuff about me, or anyone for that matter but especially him

My day is still going. How is your day?

Re: Numb again

Your psychiatrist from what I have read on hear @Former-Member seems very professional and I can say with complete confidence he is not talking about you and if he is it would only be full of concern,

@Pollyotter @Lee82 starting to feel bad mentally, with those thoughts again, you know which ones I mean. Sigh. Might try Lifeline soon as the webchat is from 7pm - 12am

Going to be hard on Wednesday when I only have 20-30 mins but SO much to talk about

Wie still at it @Pollyotter huge day for you sweets. At least by the time you get home you will be really tired and will manage a good nights sleep.

Re: Numb again

@Lee82 yes he is caring and professional, I'm not trying to brag though.

I guess you're right, I hope so anyway. Thanks for the reassurance and kind words, I appreciate it, means a lot.

Sorry to be this way
