Could you see a doctor about the distressing symptoms you've been having? Maybe there is something that can be done to help. Perhaps they can refer you to speak to someone. You could ask them, if you think talking would be beneficial.
Have you spoken to your wife about this? Just talking can be helpful. Obviously keep talking here too. I might not have advice at times, but I will listen.
Thank you <3
The GP's just medicate you or call the mental health team. The mental health team say they can't help because they can't give me appropriate medication because I'm Pregnant. My wife knows I struggle to sleep because she often has to wake me up or calm me down from nightmares/flashbacks.
Writing here helps so thank you.

I remember before when you saw demons were watching you you used an eye mask and that worked quite well - could you wear that for sleeping?
Is it possible you could go back to sun group, or were you not finding that effective anymore? It could just be worth it in terms of seeing people that get what you're going through.
The OU are complete wombats. I don't know what else could be done about them :(.
You're doing so well despite carrying so much, really proud of you.
Thank you lovely <3
I honestly don't have the energy for the mental health services anymore. I'm tired of fighting them for everything. I don't have the energy to start again with someone else. Thank you for being willing to fight for me though darling, I appreciate it.
The mask is good idea, I'll give it a try.
I'm deliberately staying away from the SUN group because there's been a lot of drama between members and they kept trying to drag me into the middle of it which was affecting my mental health. I'd be told so many things that it's kind of worn away my trust for any of them and so it doesn't feel like a place I can go and get support anymore. I just feel paranoid there.
Today has been difficult. P came to see me to do some therapy (after 2 months of little contact!). From what I remember it was going ok until he pushed me to talk about something and I dissociated. I don't remember a lot of what happened other than locking myself in the bathroom because I was really scared I was going to hurt him and he wasn't safe. I was too scared to come out until my wife came home and threatened to break the door down because she was scared I had or was going to hurt myself. She manage to convince me to come and calmed me down.
I feel really rough and drained now though.
P did text me later to say he was sorry, he shouldn't have pushed me and it was his fault I got into such a state. I'm sad the day ended that way.
