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 .

No

somethig really odd actually .

So I dont know if you know the mens fragrance Brut?

a client came to the office and i smelt it and it started to have a phisical reaction on me. He is still here I am just outside looking at the chickens trying to get the smell out of my head.

As i am writing this I just realise one of the 4 attackers smelt like it...

Makes sence now to me ...

Re: Numb again

@Lee82 @Pollyotter thanks for both comments, sorry to hear that you feel that way too.

Thats a good point about what you said about crying in front of him. Just hope I don't make him uncomfortable. I guess he's seen it before and probably worse (without being rude to anyone).

He wouldn't do this job if he wasn't that type of person and didn't enjoy it I guess

Re: Numb again

I definitely know that smell for the same reasons you know that smell. That is a truly a difficult place to be right now hun. You have to dig real deep to find some tools that are going to help you. Can you stay outside till he leaves?

I am sorry if this puts you in a bad spot. I really dont want that.

Yhe i lied to my boss and said that the chicknes are acting funny so i just want to keep an eye on them.

I dont like that i lied to him but i can not tell him anything of what happened... I feel like such a bad person though

No it's ok @Pollyotter . I'm ok.
You are not a bad person. You said what you had to. That stuff is yours to tell whoever you want. You boss does not need to know that stuff. You did the right thing by getting yourself out of that situation. Well done babe.
talk to me about the chickens. How many are there?

@Pollyotter what's going on, are you safe? Getting worried now @Lee82

Re: Numb again

That's right @Former-Member he would have seen it all the time. He is a professional and it is part of his job to see someone crying and like you said a lot worse.
