Numb
I was feeling better....but my Mom just triggered me badly. I have OCD. She knew it was a trigger, but thought I didn't notice. I knew she was also extremely tired. I went crazy on the inside. High level of anxiety with an attempt to calm myself; I tried to make myself understand that she didn't mean to hurt me, she's really tired....
Chaos in my mind.
It's just really hard to take a blow especially when you think that things are getting better and it hurts even more when the blow comes from someone you trust and love.

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling anxious and chaotic. I'm glad you were able to come here to 7cups and verbalize a bit of how you feel. Journaling and writing things down is a wonderful first start. I can only imagine how you feel, but I hope to remind you that you have not lost all progress from one bad day. You are a conglomeration of moments and emotions, you are a beautiful and complex being that is still learning. Boundaries are important to have and resetting and reminding people of them is not a bad thing. Hope you continue to put yourself first.
