Happening again

[Pauline]

Hi guys I'm having a really hard time how do you stop feeling like what you have been through is not going to happen again

Like how do you convince yourself that it's been a long time ago and your going to be ok

It's been ages and I don't can't understand why my brain doesn't realise that it's never going to happen again it is deeply frustrating to me and making me feel like I can't function properly

Does anyone have any tips I'm so tired and fed up of this cycle it's been since I was 16 and now I'm 26 it's so tiresome

:hug: I understand and it is freaking mental torture. Are you currently seeing a therapist?

I think it goes to the next stage where you deal with trying to avoid it happening again, +/or feeling responsible it happened at all. But, today is a new day, to make it a new one. :hug:

I'm really scared to open up to her she is new I'm scared to talk again cause it's been in my head so much and I'm the only one who went through it at the time it feels surreal I seriously feel like ptsd should be renamed the horror syndrome because that's how I feel horror of it not only in my mind but in my body too I don't really know how to communicate to my therapist I've been trying but I hate needing people cause I feel like I'm attention seeking I'm just very much deal with everything on my own type of person

Sometimes our greatest strength is in accepting help from someone else.

Have you thought about writing out your thoughts and bringing them to her? Writing can give enough distance to help get it out to her.

It’s never occurred to me to try.

I’ve always focused on
- Being capable (or at least more capable) if/when something happens again
- Being capable in my real life (which means don’t dress for snow if it’s 100 degrees outside, just because it snowed last winter).

I also like to doodle or draw when I'm feeling overwhelmed if I can't put the feelings into words or they would be too triggering to write about.
