Hi everyone, I аm new here. I am а young woman currently living in a very controlling and toxic environment, which is causing me constant stress and frequent episodes of derealization. I feel like I'm constantly in a state of high alert and it's exhausting. I аm looking for any advice or coping strategies you use to keep your sense of self while still stuck in a difficult living situation. How do you manage the hypervigilance when you can't escape the environment yet? I am also seeking some supportive confidential communication perhaps via email with someone who understands what this feels like and can offer a bit of encouragement or guidance.
Any tips on finding a safe way to connect would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
