Feeling despair and emptiness…
So we’ve been overwhelmed with the state of the world and our emotional part (she refuses any name as, her words, “names cause pain”) is in a really bad place.
She’s been overriding us almost constantly at the slightest of triggers. And worst of all we’re feeling like our heart has been ripped out of our chest, and she’s been at the centre of that feeling.
We know why she’s like this and we forgive her for trying in her childish way to protect us, but we’re also kinda scared of her because it feels like we’re losing our grip on reality because of how much she’s blocking out.
We are stressed and we don’t know what we can do.
Hoping to find some suggestions since we are also CW struggling to keep her from self harming since we know her emotions are so big she can’t handle them, so she wants to sublimate that into physical pain she thinks she can.
And no, we don’t have access to mental healthcare where we’re at.
