Sos help

[Ms Priss]

I am so not able to regulate right now...well, more like I am going off the f*cking deep end. Ever since the lid came off this ptsd, I cannot for the life of me get a grip or grounded....my mind is all over the place with flashbacks of my whole lifetime, and there is so much crap...mine and theirs.

I have exercised, did the breathing exercises, walked, journaled, did the grounding stuff and am still wired for sound. The emotions are flitting from one to the other...just all over the place. Have tried just sitting with the emotions, not running and all that.

There is no one I can call...which may be good in that I won't be unloading on someone and especially to someone who has not a clue where I am coming from. I am sure to them I sound stark raving mad. Well, right now it feels like I am stark raving mad.

I think I need to exert some more energy. There is nothing I can think of that triggered this so for right now I want to focus on calming down into a more rational space.

Same spot today.
I know what kicked mine into high gear.
About to head out for a nice long, slow run. No music or dog. Nothing like a good sweat- getting the heart rate up into the 100's.
Hope you find your zen.

@Ms Priss, it sounds like you've already done everything but if you don't have this DBT workbook Dead Link Removed I would recommend it. If I feel like I have ran through everything and I still cannot regulate, I tend to go back to that book and just start at page 1 again. It seems to regulate me pretty fast. As in by chapter 2 or 3 if I am following with it. There are many good things that we may miss that can help so it's just good to have that book to go to. If you don't already that is.
