Why Is Everything So Difficult!!!!!!

[hopeit willgetbetter]

I am so sick and tired of feeling this way. I spend most of my time feeling on edge, anxious and so scared. The flash backs, nightmares and panic attacks are getting so much worse. I started to sh this morning, haven't done that for years. Feel like i'm sinking fast and have no idea how to come back up for air. No idea if this makes any sense at all or even if this is the place to write this but I am so confused and so down I cant think straight anymore. I am sorry if I upset anyone I truly am.:confused:

Breathe in and out for a while, try to relax. The memories aren't going to hurt you. What happened has happened, you cannot change your past. But you can change the way you think. Keeping telling yourself that you are in control now and that nothing is going to happen to you.
Right now you are safe and secure. Think of a nice place in your mind to escape to :hug:

Hi hope
Do you have a therapist, felative or friend who you can talk to? Maybe someone who can sit with you and help to 'ground' you?
Do you know what you are confused about? Can you try to write down your thoughts, not necessarily here, just on some paper. It sometimes helps to get things straight in your mind, if you write them down. It also helps me if I feel panicky and overwhelmed.
Please stay safe with the SH.

p.s. - I love your avatar!

It makes sense to me hun. Keep "talking" and hopefully things will improve for you. And you HAVEN'T upset anyone. :hug:
