Farrah2772 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 This post has been flagged with warnings, as follows: Self-Harm, Suicide, Trauma Click this notice to reveal the content. Recently I’ve started to have loads of flashbacks from some things that happened when I was younger and it keeps making me feel really overwhelmed and when I’m having the flashback my whole body feels lifeless. After the flashbacks I usually end up feeling like self harming and I try to distract myself and sometimes it works but for the past week it hasn’t so I keep ending up hurting myself. The flashbacks also make me feel really worthless and like I should just not be here anymore and die. I’m really not sure what to do as it’s starting to affect my life as I can hardly get out of bed anymore because of it. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hey @Farrah2772 Thanks for coming to us about how you're feeling. It seems like you're struggling with some events resurfacing at the moment which sounds quite distressful for you. I'm wondering, can you tell me a little bit more about why they make you feel worthless and like you shouldn't be here anymore? I understand that this may be a difficult question to answer, and if you're not comfortable talking about it yet, then that's more than okay. In situations like this, although it can be extremely hard, opening up is the best thing you can do, but I will follow your lead with whatever you're comfortable doing. I want to help you and you can talk to me about anything. Also, just to be on the safe side, can I ask, have you made a plan to take your own life? It's okay to open up about this, and I will be able to help you get the support you might need. Remember, although it may not seem like it now, these feelings may pass, and it's important to recognise that they are often temporary. I hope to hear back from you soon. Take care and stay safe.
