what to do?

[dogsrbest]

what do you do when your world feels like it's spinning out of control and it's about too crash down around your ears? it has been a reaaly hard week. too many very stressful things one after the other. i hurt inside and wish i could cry but there are no tears left for me. i've so far managed to not smash my head into a wall but the hurt is almost overwhelming. i want to run away and hide somewhere that no one will find me.

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad

Is there anything that usually calms you down? Sometimes, when I'm overwhelmed, I just go to sleep, and it helps a lot, so maybe you could try it; it might work for you too

Here are some links that might help you:

Hope you're feeling better soon!

**sits with you**

I know exactly where you're at, or at least I think I do. Things seem pretty out of control for me just now too. But you know what I worked out the other day? That even though SH helps me, it doesn't actually stop me feeling like everything is out of control. It helps me to EXPRESS how I'm feeling, but it doesn't CHANGE how I'm feeling. It doesn't stop everything spinning out of control.
In fact, there's nothing I can do to stop most of the things happening in my life right now. I just have to let it be.
I know it's hard, and I hate not being in control. But it's also really good and peaceful to finally have come to a place of acceptance that I can't control everything. I have to let it go.

I found it helpful to write down everything that's out of my control and then at the bottom to write, This is out of control. I keep it in my journal (which I write in before I SH) and I read it over quite alot and remind myself that I have to just let it go.
I dunno, it sounds kinda stupid, but maybe it'll help. Either way, I read and I hope that helps too.
