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

Today I looked at myself in the mirror for a long time. boy was that painfull.

1. i picked up alot of weight since eating all the Aussie food and lollies

2. I got old A.F

3. I dont like my hair

4.I dont like my skin

5. I dont like my face

6. I dont like my acsent ( I am from South Africa)

7. I dont like my lenght ( 1.79m)

8. I dont like my hands ( look like man hands)

9. I dont like my teeth ( they are extreamly sensitive )

10. I dont like my voice

I need to talk to my head healer about this but I am extreamly embarrased about it all.

I do know that i am kind and care about people on a difftent level... one point that works for me indeed.

I am not tagging you guys in it because I feel ok .I know i have low self esteam but I am getting to live with it all.

Look after yourself guys

xoxo

Re: Numb again

Sorry I haven't been round much today guys.
@Pollyotter you need to be a little kind to yourself hun. We are all our own worst critics. We will always find things about ourselves we don't like. Good on you for sitting in front of the mirror for that long. If it makes you feel any better I even hate having a shower because it means I have to get undressed and I can't stand to look at my body. When I shower I do my best not to look down so I don't see anything. I get anxious everytime it's time to shower. One of the worst parts of my day.
@Former-Member I'm so sorry you haven't been doing so well today I'm sure a lot of it is to do with your anxiety about your appointment tomorrow which is normal to feel. Perhaps write a few dot points down so you are prepared and know exactly what you want to say and won't waste anytime trying to remember things during your session.
