I just can't.

[The-red-centaur]

I can't sleep and keep having flashbacks 😞

[The-red-centaur]

Is anyone up.

@The-red-centaur
Hey, I'm here. Can I help at all?

[The-red-centaur]

I can't cope with flashbacks. It physically and emotionally just hurts too much to deal with. I'm so scared.

[Sans911]

That sounds pretty awful @The-red-centaur. How do you usually cope, or what helps?

[outlander]

im around too for abit if you need @The-red-centaur

[The-red-centaur]

@Sans911 I've been trying to distract myself. But it's not working. I get get the fcking things out of my head. I called 1800respect but pretty much just cried I couldn't stop shaking.

[Sans911]

Have you ever tried grounding yourself @The-red-centaur? Can you tell me 5 things you can see? 4 things you can feel? 3 things you can hear? 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste?

Try to ground yourself physically too. Put your feet on the ground and try to touch something like a wall?

You're here with me right now @The-red-centaur so you're safe OK? I'm not leaving you until you are OK. What you're having is a memory from a time ago, so right now you're OK. No one is out to hurt you. Is there anyone with you tonight?

[The-red-centaur]

@Sans911 I'm gonna go for a walk to try to calm down.

[Sans911]

OK @The-red-centaur. Sounds like a good idea. Let me know how you are when you get back
