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 .

@Former-Member No apology needed, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone in this. No stress as you've done nothing wrong here I promise - we mods are here to make sure that folk are following the guidelines and not posting anything triggering that is true, but we are also here to provide community support and make sure that our members are okay. That means checking in and making sure you all know we are here to help, especially when you're having a rough time.

Re: Numb again

@Jynx thank you, I really appreciate that. I promise I'm not trying to break any rules or guidelines or do anything wrong.

I just sent an email to the sane forums email, can you or any mod please reply to it? I'd appreciate a reply tonight but tomorrow morning the latest please.

I'm not trying to rush or push or pressure anyone, I know all you mods have so much to do and I appreciate everything you all do.

Please accept my apologies, I just need some advice from you too, I've asked my parents and got their opinions and on Lifeline.
