Hey @Rachal1,

So understandable that you are having difficulty managing or explaining how you are feeling after what you have been through.

If okay, I am going to post some links to articles to help you on 'Self Care After Trauma'........and.......'Stress Management: Breathing Exercise for Relaxation'.

Especially with the breathing part.......when we slow down our breathing, it helps our mind and body to relax.  One kinda affects the other, if that makes sense.  Slow breathing, the body relaxes......then that in turn relaxes the mind.  https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/uz2255

With the self care after trauma article, it explains the affects of trauma and how it can affect you....and what you may be able to do to help yourself.  https://highlandspringsclinic.org/blog/the-importance-of-self-care-after-trauma/

I hope that if helps you a little as you go through this difficult time.  There is no obligation to look into these articles, it is totally your choice.  😊

Tsabu  💐

@Rachal1 Welcome to AS, I am so sorry for what has led you to us though. 

Understandable that you are overwhelmed. Take your time, there is no pressure to speak, only if and when you're ready. 

Sitting with you, if that's ok. 

Dawn

Thank you so much...💔
