Freezing Cold During And After Disassociation

[Deleted member 40217]

Cannot bring myself 100% out of this disassociation. Freezing cold and shaking, nothing is grounding me. I'm in and out. Mind is racing can't take this much longer

You reached out...That's a good thing. Does taking a very warm shower help?
Do you know what triggered this and do you want to talk about it?

Let us know if it helps. Put nice comfy clothes on afterward. Socks on your feet,and may be a hot drink and snuggle in a blanket.
Hope you Get warm and comfortable.
Sending a gentle warm hug.

Put an ice pack or ice on the back of your neck and get under the covers. Close your eyes and breathe calmly.

Thank you so much for reaching back. Shower helped tremendously. Still shaking but I think it's the anxiety. This is all still new to me Working on finding a way to start grounding as soon as I wake but it's so difficult.

There is a new thread started here today called Grounding techniques..started by Gwen. A lot of great suggestions there.
Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Make sure you are staying hydrated. It does help. For right now you can do some slow deep breathing.
Inhale thru your nose slowly but deeply...hold for the count of 8 And release breath slowly thru your mouth.
Remember...slowly..
Do this until you feel your self calming down.
I'll be up for awhile yet so let me know how you are doing.
Very glad you are feeling better.

Thank you so much ladee, I m so grateful to have you help me through this. Still very foggy but not as terrified. I see my T today and will discuss more grounding techniques with her. Thanks again for all your help.

Very glad to see you are feeling better.
Also happy to hear you are seeing your T soon.
Glad you reached out. Now you have some tools to use if it happens again.
Happy you are here! :hug:

Find the thread about grounding.
You said you were new to this. Grounding is going to be used thru out your healing process.
You have to do self talk..
That was them,this is now and I am safe. Over and Over again.
I'm happy you are here but not happy for the reason.
You keep reaching out. Someone is here all the time.
May take a little while but someone will answer
Breathe...you are safe. This will pass.
Gentle hugs.
