@Oaktree bugger that for a joke. It's impossible to sleep with what's happening at the moment.

I can't do this anymore. I give up. The pain is too much for me.

TW: flashbacks

Content/trigger warning

I hate flashbacks, I hate my kinds of flashbacks, being stuck in a memory that I can't escape from and waking up shaking and scared

I was in an op shop yesterday and on the shelf I saw something similar to what I was given when I was 14...

Good afternoon @avant-garde . We see your experiences and flashbacks can be very upsetting for you. Can you share what support from the community can look like at this moment? Are you with someone you can speak to?

Just not being alone

Too often I'm alone with these feelings that the spiral starts and I get stuck, when I have things that I need to get done

[Former-Member]

@avant-garde you aren't alone, we are here with you ❤️

Thank you for letting the community know @avant-garde . I'm sure @Former-Member can relate to this too. Connection when things are hard can really help us feel less alone in what we are going through.
