I Am Feeling Sad

I am too codependent for my own good.
My friend and I are only able to study a few pages every day together because her schedule is very tight. This isn't good. I wish I could just be able to focus on my own. But when I'm alone the flashbacks won't stop and they consume me. And the anxiety plagues my mind. I can't be left alone with my thoughts.

What kinds of coping mechanisms have you tried?

@JoeyFoxx everything. i wrote a long list of things i tried, and also tried discussing with a therapist. but nothing can work when i'm amidst anxiety inducing situations that i have no option to run from. there is nowhere to go and no place to fall back on. no sense of security. a constantly hurting family, also trying to run away from the worst for years upon years. A prisoner in a cell going through psychological torture for years can try meditation, yoga, macha tea, essential oil diffusers, vegan diet, exercise, discipline, cutting caffeine, whatever the most big brained scientists want to say, but it doesn't take away their reality always hitting them in the face every single day. nothing and no one can help. but thanks anyway.

@assemblingaknob maybe it’s time for you to stop giving a shit about anyone else and focus on yourself for once
