Processing emotions

[Toastandchocolate]

I’m finding it hard to allow myself to process the emotions of everything that has happened. I was in denial for such a long time.

I haven’t received any support yet, but I’m on a wait list for DA support.

It’s tough. I don’t have much of a support network. I know I need to process the emotions, but when I remember stuff, it’s just too much to deal with on my own. So for now, it’s locked away.

Hi,

Thank you for your post. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. This is a lot for you to process. There is no timeline for recovery from trauma- its important you take this time for yourself to heal and when you feel ready.

You may want to have a look at Bloom. They have online courses that cover topics such as trauma, abuse and boundaries. These can be completed in your own time and at your own pace. https://bloom.chayn.co/.

Best Wishes

Lisa

Processing emotions is a toughy . These situations are never easy . I think we all need to be kind to ourselves.  Hope the information Lisa has given you helps . So good to have this forum.  Nice to chat with others knowing we are all in this together ❤️.   Please be kind to yourself.  Strength in numbers.  Take care 🙂.

I am currently going through a terrible time too. My emotions are all over the place, I feel like people are blaming me for hating him. Trying to support my son who witnessed something so awful and trying to survive is very tiring.

Your very very welcome 🙏 @Toastandchocolate always .

I think the process is different for all of us and it can be a long winded journey. I still have regular nightmares years on that my ex is trying to catch/chase/hurt me in some way and I think I may have PTSD from the relationship. Be kind to yourself and listen to your body, do what feels right and at your own pace. Healing is a journey and there’s no right/wrong answer xx

Being kind to myself has never come easy. It’s something I’m trying to teach myself. I’ve never been able to connect properly to my own body or understand my own needs. I know it’s going to be a long journey, but I’m committed to turning my life around. Not just attending therapy like I used to, but really changing my belief system. To believe I deserve better. I’ve no idea how! But I’m going to do it!

Thank you for your comments.

I keep waking up with thoughts/memories of my ex. I hate it. It’s intrusive. I don’t want to remember him.

Wishing you wasn’t experienced what you are experiencing.  It’s not easy.  My heart goes out to you now and always.  I hope and pray you can get the well deserved help you need quick . Wishing for better days ahead ✨️. Please take care of yourself

I really hope your D A worker gets things done quickly for you .

[Toastandchocolate]

Thank you. My DA support worker seems to have gone AWAL. I feel alone.

[Stargazing1]

I’m so sorry to hear that . That’s not very good at all. Is there someone who could contact that service for you so you are less alone .  Could you speak with you GP again? . Sending gentle hugs your way 🤗.   Is there any way you could get into a refuge? . Hoping and praying for better days ahead 🙏. Please take care

[Toastandchocolate]

I have contacted my GP surgery. Hopefully I can get an appointment.

[Stargazing1]

I hope you get that well deserved appointment 💜.  Take care of yourself please.

Sending everyone so much love here. This healing journey is certainly not easy! Currently going through quite a depressive stage lots of tears! Struggling with sleep a lot. Still having lots of thoughts of my ex! Good bad the inbetween!
I’ve just started counselling so hopefully that will help

Welcome to the road to recovery!  Some days it will be hard, some easy.  Sometimes, you will make great strides. Other times, it will feel like two steps back, but don’t give up!  Embrace the journey and trust in the process, I promise it will lead to better things!  Be completely honest with yourself and roll with the punches – that will get you through it!

You can do it!
