Anxiety Today With Flashbacks

[Cinufe]

Hi I am having flashbacks from a past relationship from when I was raped and got the herpes virus. I have had a lot of anxiety lately and have a new outbreak which always puts me in a bad place. I don't get many outbreaks so that's good. I wish I could stop feeling anxious today. Having flashbacks isn't helping, i guess being in pain physically is triggering me mentally. Its hard to let go altho I suppose letting go and not holding on would help. Getting out I hope can help with that. I should go to my safe place in on my head more today. And try to get out of my head. That could be real good for me. Thank you for listening. I have found this site to be so helpful. Even if no one responds.

HI Cinufe,
Having a physical reminder doesn't help I'm sure, but you are talking about doing the right things, which is good. Go to your safe place if that helps.
I hope you soon feel better physically and emotionally.
Hugs,
Mim
