First I was numb - then it was like information overload - emotions hitting me all the time - I would spark into anger at the slightest thing - was often agitated, it was like being hit with a wave of emotion so strong it knocked me down

This is the time for distraction techniques - putting your hands in ice - doing sums in your head - touching a surface and trying to be present in the moment - deep breathing - counting backwards frm 50 - seeing and saying 12 things and taking a breath each time when you say what it is and what colour it is

there was a time for me - and still is sometimes when you feel like al you can do is hang on and survive - but it does get better - it takes time (hate that word) and hard work at therapy - but it does get better

take care P7
