So hard today

There's not a check-in for today, I hope I'm not posting out of place...

I dontd think this post could be triggering, but today I am triggered for sure. My parents trigger me, I'll stop beating around the bush about this and call things with their name. My mother especially is a huge trigger: seeing her, hearing her or seeing a call from her can trigger anxiety, dissociation, nightmares... I think I've really got a PTSD revolving around her. Once, she also triggered me the only allucination I have ever had in my life, and I'm so scared it might happen again. Calling my parents PTSD triggers actually explains a lot of things and make them fall into place.

So... Today guess who's so lucky to have the first family therapy session with her mother alone? Yep: me. It's been hard even getting out of bed today, I was feeling both anxiety and depression kicking and a strong Desire of (ok, this can be triggering) not eat a thing to gain some control, but feeling it wasn't enough, I kept considering (other trigger) seriously hurting myself. Then I got angry at myself, calling me a coward and weak... this went on until at 13:40 I managed to wake up and tried to at least cook and have something to eat, but I kept doing things wrong and I had a breakdown where I was like crying, throwing things left and right and shrieking like a mouse saying mean things to myself. I managed not to self harm though. Now it's 15:20 and I'm still having my lunch. I'll have therapy in less than 3 hours. I don't want to do this, I just want to cut contacts. Oh, right, my mother called me a couple of hours ago. I already was upset in bed and crying, so I didn't answer, I don't know what she wanted, and it got me even more upset.

I don't want to do this... Am I a coward? I mean I brought them in therapy, but now what had to be said has been said and I'm realizing how harmful they are for me, haven't I been the brave one for a little too long? How much else do I have to sacrifice?!

Great. Lost the bus for procrastination issues. Just to proof that I'm less trustworthy than my psycho parents. Really great. Now jumping from the window early this morning is really starting to seem the most appealing option. Too late though. I don't want to do it

Feel so dizzy, hands tickling, hard to breathe.. freezing response or I'm dissociating. Or both.
