I learned this through sobriety, but it really has had a postive impact with dealing with my flashbacks.
I notice that when I get HUNGRY ANGRY LONELY TIRED I am more susceptable to flashbacks. And panic attacks. Recently I learned that when Im excited even about GOOD THINGS, I often cannot differentiate between early panic attack vs happy excitement. Crazy? dunno. Its been really oddly helpful to tell my brain - hey things are ok, this is good stuff! and focus on breathing, and then I DONT go spiraling. Cause, well, for me today, life IS good. and I certainly dont want to ruin another moment in my life over  yanno?

Just checking in to say hi!
It's been a rough time lately, all the flooding here has brought up one of my traumas, which was a flash flood that we were caught in when I was a kid. Our whole city is traumatized. Several members here weer trapped in their homes or ended up in shelters. I totally get not feeling safe, ever. The hypervigilance. I take my medicine, go to therapy and a psychiatrist and still it is a long road and I worry my friends, family and co-workers will just give up on me. I feel too empty to add the stress of worrying about other people's stress if that makes sense. Like an empty tube of toothpaste. still trying to make sure all are settled and have places to live after the flood. Vacation starts tomorrow, I will try to check in, but plan to spend as much time as possible just relaxing! xoxoxoxoxox

The effects of my trauma are nearly over—it came with remembering everything. I went through some very difficult days. I'm still a little skittish with certain things, but I feel I'm about 80% better than I was. Here's wishing everyone better health.

I am a total mess right now...the depression is at its peak, I don't want to talk to anyone, much less do any business or work...I want to sleep as much as possible and eating too much ice cream or whatever I can get ahold of...crying has started and I am trying so hard not to let myself be swept away into this but its so hard right now...all I want to do is hide in my bedroom and not see anyone, not my honey especially because I feel I am disappointing hym...my children don't understand they just say, "get over it mom"...and my pets, my babies they are confused...mama usually has it all under control...the trigger? So many things, one after the other after the other as if I had a ball machine just spitting balls at me with no bat to swing at 'em with...
I am praying that this will pass quickly... Please God help. |
