Stressed Out

[Gs172003]

We were on our way to hike when my car started shaking so we ended up going to the park where I.married the ex. It stresses me pretty badly, I hate it here so I'm buying myself in my phone so I don't have to look at it.

Hi Zoogal,

I was wondering if you were able to pull yourself out your flashback moment. Those moments are the worse for me because I feel frozen from the memory. The thing that pulls me out is my phone too. I have a game on it that is a great distraction and then I remember the saying I learned from EMDR. It goes "I only see that memory in the past." It took me awhile to keep that phrase in my head but it's finally working.

I hope it's ok to offer these suggestions and that you are ok from your distress you experienced.

Sounds like you had a rough time. First the car and then being stuck at that park. How are you doing now?

I'm in a really crappy mood. I don't know what else to say

That tends to happen and I'm so sorry. Flashbacks cause me to just have a heck of a time and make me grumpy and upset for a day or so after.

Be kind to yourself and try to relax and get your barings. These days are long and hard on our bodies.
