Too much going on inside my world and outside . It is not a good place to be in. I feel scared and alone like no one is there. I just need someone to know I am here, that these feelings are real and that I am doing the best I can. The tears I cry are flowing so fast that breathing is becoming hard. I am trying to ground but finding it hard.
1. Feet on floor
2. feel the floor beneath me
3. look at the familiar room
4. feel the keyboard
5. look for colors
7. breath (in and out)
8. listen to myself
9. let others in
10.keep breathing

I could really use a hug and someone to sit with me quietly. You will not know that I am even here. I feel scared tonight. I feel like--I mean I do not want to be alone.

Thank you so much. You do not know what it means to have you here. I feel so afraid and have a lot of anxiety building up. Everything is overwhelming me and I feel exhausted in it all. Sometimes I do not think I can pull through but I know I did not make it this far for nothing.

I know I am a survivor and I survived for a reason, but I am also very tired --tired of carrying the memories within, the memories that I cannot seem to let out. I try little by little but I feel afraid.

I am trying to breath (in and out)
Feel the floor
Feel the keyboard beneath my hands.
Feeling the fan above me.
Noticing where I am, that I am not in the past but here in the present.

I keep telling myself these things and telling myself these things. Why is it that sometimes it works and at other times I struggle to do it.

I feel a lot of stress. I know that that is not good for me. But I am trying to calm myself down. I just feel scared. I am trying. Please keep me in your thoughts. I am trying and I am reaching which is something I did not used to do. Thank you to all of you for your support.

I do not know if I am making any sense right now. I am just afraid tonight. And I am reaching.

I am here. I understand your fear and you being tired. Sometimes it is just so hard. But you are making progress and you are reaching out. If you can please keep doing so. I am out here for you.

Grounding is very difficult when I am triggered. How well it works depends how triggered I am.

Hope this day brings you some relief.

<font color="purple"> ((((((((((((((((darkpurplesecrets)))))))))))))))))))))) You are never alone my friend.....I'm always here for you. You are doing great with the grounding....I know sometimes it doesn't always work as you would hope it would. But keep trying, keep working at it.

With all that is going on right now it's understandable that you are having some difficulties. You will not be alone as you go through these things...I'll be right by your side and you will make it. </font>
