Feeling really triggered at the moment. Discussion around the breakfast table this morning about one of my friends that I am away with had to call the police late last night as one of her sons friends was talking about si. They look at me cause of my previous work background but I have nothing to say, I can’t. All sorts of thoughts going around inside and I can’t breath.

Sorry to hear that you are triggered @Bow 

Just try and concentrate on your breathing hun. Perhaps count them out. In for 5, hold for 5, out for 5.

Have you got someone you can talk to about it?

Thanks @Snowie  my friend that bought this up just came and checked on me as I had disappeared. I don’t think she knows this is an issue for me, didn’t really know what to say.

you doing ok?

[Bow]

This has all just been too much today. On top of already feeling not ok, I’m away from home and not in my own safe place, I have sh and battling to need to more. Such a horrible person doing this #+#¥ while away. Why why why

Being away from home or your safe place can be really hard @Bow., especially when you're struggling, cause that's when you want the safety. I'm wondering if there are any pieces of home you have with you? Or otherwise can you think of anything that might help create that home, safe sort of feeling where you are?
