I am not coping well at the moment. I feel like my mental health is like a roller coaster going really fast. Moods are constantly switching so are my alters.
I feel like I'm stuck in my own thoughts at the moment and feel like I can't escape them. My panic attacks are becoming more frequent than usual. Feeling numb aswell.

@Maggie - no sleep again, feeling horrible have been pushed away from other services so I'm stuck suffering on my own until the help centre opens. Feeling numb constantly switching alters and breaking down....

I’m really sorry @Fluttershy1 . I had a lot of trouble finding someone who understands. Most gave up, friends also. I know how hard it is.
Is it possible to work with alters? I did collages. It helped us both understand each other. Pictures and words to express feelings etc. it’s different for everyone, but finding what works for you, and your others, really breaks down fears.

@Maggie - I've tried working with them but they just don't want to today. They are not listening and getting me all stressed to the point where I will breakdown.
I'm feeling numb and really upset and anxious
