I don't even know where to start. I had a bad flashback a week ago and I've really been struggling ever since. I'm beginning to become aware of how unsafe I feel all the time and I don't know how I'm ever going to feel safe. It doesn't seem possible. My t told me to focus on this moment and that I'm safe right now but then I'm constantly worrying about the next moment where I might not be safe. If I'm only safe in this moment then it feels like there's no chance to relax because I might not be so safe in the next one. I know the chances of anything bad happening are slim but there's still a chance. I don't know how to feel safe when something bad could happen at any moment. I have a t session in 3 hours and I'm scared to leave the house to go. I nearly called to cancel but I know it won't help in the long run to hide away. It just feels so overwhelming to think of going out of the house. Which is something I struggle with at the best of times. I'm tired of living like this and I don't feel very hopeful about it getting better.
