I am having horrible nightmares about family ~ it's pretty hard to get out of this mindset I'm stuck in.
Yet, my bf is similarly stuck in a mode of thinking ~ it's just sex. I'm hot. He wants me so bad. I'm beautiful. Blah, blah, blah. It doesn't mean sh*! All it means is that he's a man and I'm a woman. We're together & have enjoyed sex with one another before. Does that mean that I'm special?? I don't think so. In my experience, every man goes on and on about this baloney to get what they want. So, why should I believe my bf? How is he any different than every other guy that I've ever been with? If anything, this bf is the most openly focused on sex than any other man I've known.
With these negative thoughts, I can't allow myself to relax at all around my bf. Not having any friends (other than my bf and a couple of his friends), I have nobody. My family is gone to me. I cannot (will not) ever have anything to do with them again. My daughters are in Ca, and they're busy...I don't want to talk with family to see how they are either. I have nothing. The girls are the only thing that keeps me alive, because I couldn't accept screwing them up any more than I already have.
But, when my girls are taken out of the equation...I REALLY struggle to find some sense of hope. Paranoia is just the worst!! Please tell me if you can understand where I'm coming from. Am I making any sense to you, or am I just making false connections?

Jeez Shez, It sounds like you are being retraumatized by your daughters going to visit your family. If i were you I would get away from bf and go to a safe place with your safe box and a stuffy and get grounded. I know you know how to do that. You may be paranoid, but that is you telling yourself to take care of yourself I think. I am not sure, but in anycase...your psyche is alarmed and I doubt sex will be of any help, nor does bf seem to be in a place to listen. I am surprised more people havent responded to help you ???

help....

You are being very hard on yourself. Try to lighten up a bit.

I am a very paranoid person too, comes from being invalidated constantly...you knowmindfulness techniques...do your best to get grounded..I thhink that is what you would tell me...center yourself...it will help the paranoia and crazy feelings fall away, I hope...take care Shez..
