Has been a frustrating, hour by hour, screaming head sort of day.

The flashbacks and nightmares have decided to stick around making it more and more difficult to cope with.

hugs and hugs sis @Snowie

hugs @Snowie and sitting with you

That totally sucks @Snowie I know how hard days like that can be and I really feel for you Hon. Has there been any specific trigger you can identify or is it just whenever you close your eyes there they are?

[Snowie]

Thanks @Shaz51 @outlander

@Zoe7no triggers that I know of. I don't even have to close my eyes, they are just constantly coming up. 

I don't want to do this anymore, it is too hard

[Zoe7]

That is incredibly tough to deal with @Snowie I am not going to tell you it will pass or that it will be ok because we both know it isn't that easy but I am here for you to help you through this Hon 

[outlander]

here for you too @Snowie

[Snowie]

Thanks @Zoe7 @outlander. I ended up sh last night but not in my normal way. My mind keeps going to plans again today, which is taking all my strength to try and stop myself.

[Zoe7]

Plans are just that Hon - plans - and you don't have to do anything with them @Snowie.

Keep using what strength we know you have and lean on us here - we are more than happy to ride this wave with you my sweet Snowie.

Would a Toby story be a good distraction?
