How has your week been?
this week been a hard week as we have had hard time with asking for help and support. that end badly with us SH first time in many years. then we had some bad health news too. so we been having stuff hit us hard. without much relief from it. emotions still flooding us too. we not sure how to deal with them either so they scary to us. people really do not get how hard it is having emotions fully after being numb to them at all. sunday our birthday and that always hard for us.
What's something you're doing to take care of yourself?
trying to reach out more and trust others when we having a hard time. not going back to unhealthy was of coping with things. this been up and down for us. due to trust issues and feeling weak,shameful that we need help. we trying to fight the old programing about self and also about emotions being weakness when you have them.
@stormieandpaws
Hey, that's understandable that SH would have happened with so many triggering factors (i.e. bad news, upcoming birthday, being flooded with emotions when normally things tend to be more numb and maybe that's easier). 😢 Relapses do happen and it doesn't negate all of the long-term changes that have been happening.
Re: the programming around emotions being weak, I personally feel like it would be unfair for someone to blame/shame you for having emotions when you don't have much control over it. You didn't choose to be flooded, and I'm sure you'd prefer not to be. 💜
@QuietMagic
thank you we have many programming from our abuse a lot of it we did not even know was there. until we moved away from family. a lot of it only started to come up within last year. so lots is coming up that we did not really know about. it hard with types of abuse we been through as some not even believe in some of them. we not want to trigger anyone. so we just say that for now. stayed busy today trying to not think tomuch about things at all. tomorrow our 55yr birthday. so having things coming up now that we home from being out all say with mental health club. was nice getting out getting mind off things too
@stormieandpaws
Ah, when you say "some not even believe in some of them", do you mean some alters have less knowledge than others about what happened?
(By the way, if you're ever worried about triggering people in the public-facing forum but still want to share things, you're welcome to PM.)
Wishing you a happy birthday, if that's a day that you celebrate 😊 🎉🎈
