@Kate just a hi

Hi, I used to be more active here but havent been on 7 cups in a while. I thought I was doing better but now Im struggling again. Ive been having a bunch of flashbacks to something that I didnt even know was traumatic for me. Ive been trying so hard to do good things to calm down, but I still have a problem set due today and an exam, and I think I may just not turn in the problem set... the exam might be okay though, well see. My friend is so sweet and wants to help me but I dont know how she can help. Sighhhhhh

I thought I had one main trauma in my life (with lots of parts), but now, I dont know, my whole life feels like trauma... thats probably not true... ughhhh

anyone else randomly start having flashbacks to new stuff??? Its been awful, and totally out of the blue and unexpected, and I feel pathetic for getting upset over stuff like this... ughh I thought I was better for once but NO of course not. Sorry for the negativity.

@Kate

yes for dbt i have had to do mindfulness and its hard.

my feelings and what is going on:
i need more support. i ended up getting introuble for being suicidal. I have been writing poems, to get my emotions out. i saw my therapist she doesnt know what to do. I dont know either. I am getting off my one medicine because it makes me more upset and have worse mood swings. I havent been doing well at all. I just need someone because honestly I havent been okay for a while. I have multiple things going on recently. It is taking a lot out of me. I havent been okay for a while. I have been getting worse. I dont know how to stop it or reverse my issues to make it into good things or turn my issues into positive. My depression, self loathing, and outside issues going on. It feels like my life is crumbling but a cop said no it isnt you are still doing incredibly in your school work and you may have a ton happening but you are doing good. I have been very negative towards myself. It is awful. I dont know how to stop. I just hold so much in with my issues in my childhood. People say its in the past but for myself its not in the past; its here still. I just need some help with how to help myself if there is a way to get better???

My mom is a bath

I miss our bath tub.

I want a steady desk and writing area

@Kate

hi to everyone

having a better day today. I wish I felt like this all the time. On better days I kind of feel silly for having the bad days and it seems like I was overreacting and that I was making all o f this trauma up and just doubting myself and my whole experience even though I know deep down that's not true.

heyy everyone hope everyone is doing good if not hugs are on hand if you need one

also i started leading weekly discussions guided sundays 2pm EST in Trauma Support

Hi

I was brave & went to my appointment today.

And I found support online & told someone what I think might have happened in the past.

Scary things but brave. I try.

@Kate i am an awful client and therefore a slow learner, know about mindfulness, have used breathing offf more then on.
