Body Reactions

[Bookoffee]

I made it halfway through work. I don’t remember much over the past few hours. Now that I am home, my body won’t stop having reactions from my past. I feel like I am being attacked and raped. I hurt all over and can’t get my grounding.

I just posted about something that I think is similar. It started last night and all my usual techniques are not working. I can't seem to shake it today.

I am sorry you are going through this! I wish I had great words of advice or a magical remedy that would take it away....for you and for me!

I can only say that you are not alone.

I called in sick to work. I just couldn't do it today. I am going to try and get out of the house though and see if that helps.

I hope this passes for you quickly!

Make a call to the sexual assault crisis line and your therapist. The crisis women are great. They've talked me off the ledge many times. Can't find their number? The hospital should have it or your therapist.

I have gone home a lot for the same reason. I call them mental health days, though I don't tell anyone at work that. I just say I'm sick.

I'm getting hit with some of that today, though it's not nearly as bad as 3 or 4 years ago. Back then I survived on Ativan and dissociation.

I appreciate it every time I read about a situation like yours. It reminds me that I'm not the only one.

Thank you, I never thought of that. I keep thinking they are only for the people that recently suffer assault, I never thought they could help me too.
