Feeling so sad, lost and stressed.
Notifications OFF
I feel awful today. I'm in constant disbelief that this has happened to my family and I. All I want is our old life back. I'd do anything to have it back. Every occasion that passes, another birthday, anniversary, each one is a stark reminder of how much has changed. I feel so worried at the moment about how the future will look. My anxiety medication has been increased, been prescribed sleeping pills because I cannot sleep at all. All that goes round and round in my head is whats happened. I feel so sad but also so numb. I wish I could cry but I can't.
Hi JE
Oh Hun you are not alone with how you're feeling right now! Especially at the beginning but also these feeling at least for me pop are still in and out of my mind often. Those special occasions are so confusing as like you've said it's a big reminder reality check!
How long have you been on this journey and do you have children if you don't mind me asking. I have 2 children which sometimes makes it easier as I have no choice but to carry on and be distracted by them on the other hand I wonder what it must be like without the fair of social services.
I also struggle to sleep. I am 1.5years from first knock. I struggled with sleep for a whilst at first but I managed to improve but making sure to train myself more by getting into bed at a set time and waking at a set time each morning. It's great that you've reached out to your GP and they have offered you support. Have you contacted the StopItNow helpline? It took me a while to make this step but as soon as I finished my phone call I wished I had called sooner.
Lots of love xx

You are definitely not alone I'm nearly 2 years in and feel exactly the same always a reminder some worse than others and seem to be unable to make plans, hardly look to the future, but we will get through this we are strong amazing women!
