I Thought I Saw The Exe's Mother

[Gs172003]

I know she's dead but I can't shake it. I'm tense, upset and shaky. I'm finally starting to calm a little but this really has me shook up. Please help.

I can understand your fear. Try to breathe and calm down and try to relax your muscles. You saw someone that resembled someone that is all, but I do realize how scary this is to you.

Take really good care of you right now. Give yourself what you need at this moment to start to feel better okay? Giving you a hug for support.:hug:

I don't really know what to say except, when I feel 'shook up' I turn to music and praying... But I'm trying to learn how to open up here too....

I'm at work. I'm calming down now.

God this sucks.


Thank you.

I'm on my break. Trying to distract myself. God

In my experience, my head may know that the person is dead, but my heart hasn't gotten the memo that although this trigger is in the present, but the danger and reason for fear is in the past. You are safe, and you will feel safe again. Please be patient and kind with your heart.

Im kinda hiding in the bathroom. I can't freaking stay here. Dammit.

It sounds like this has triggered something that you are blocking. You can keep blocking and try to make the thing go away, or you can try to process the thing. Trying to block the thing out until your next therapy session may or may not work. If you choose to allow yourself to feel whatever you need to feel and process that, it would probably help to make your excuses, leave and find somewhere where you feel safe, and give yourself time. And ideally, if you have your therapist's number, this is a probably a good time to call and ask for their support.

I am sorry you are in so much pain.

I've blocked that whole damn marriage.

I'm out of the bathroom. Well, that one anyway.

I'm now in I don't know what to do mode.

 

[Gs172003]

Ok I'm back to ",normal" I guess. I'm exhausted.

Thank you all that came to my "rescue"
