Really Bad Day *possible Triggers*

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm having an awful day and I know you guys are the only ones who understand the pain. I feel like someone who is my best friend is trying to leave me out of everything, sabotage nice things that I am trying to plan etc. I feel that she is being really underhand and nasty when I've done nothing wrong. For a while now I had thought I was losing touch with reality and there were other reasons for her behaviour but today she has gone to other girls and totally changed a nice day out that I had planned. I was only tryibg to plan something nice and now she has ruined it. I got so upset that when I found out by text I started having a panic attack in the middle of a busy supermarket. I felt flashbacks of when I was badly bullied as a child, tied to a chair and beaten by supposed 'friends'. I had been having quite a good week as well and now I feel horrendous. Wanted to get these feelings out to stop me doing something to harm myself.

Sorry if I have upset anyone but I didn't know where else to turn and putting things into words and acknowledging my feelings is one of my DBT strategies.

Thanks to anyone who has got this far. X

I'm just sitting here typing this for something to distract me to stop myself doing something wrong, I have called the first crisis number for my area and there is no one there, I've left a message for someone to call me back but need to keep distracting, think I'll call breathing space.

Breathing spaces didn't open until 6 so I phoned the Samaritans for someone to speak to and to distract myself from my urges, was on the phone for half an hour and it has definitely helped me get to a point where I'm more back in control. I know I am rambling on here but feel I need to keep doing things and stay in control. Away to do a chain analysis......sorry for the running commentary it's just keeping me distracted.

What is it that she has done?

ask yourself is this person worth it?

may it be possible that this person isn't a good friend?

or maybe

is it possible this person is having a bad day and reacting in such a fashion and it has nothing to do with you.

keep in mind the company u keep, sometime people art worth it.

Know this though you are a good friend, you are a nice person , and nothing she is doing can stop that.

know this you have a friend in me and all of thiose on here we are here. <333

take some breaths go drink your favorite beverege a soda pop or whatever it may be and try to ground.

ask yourself what u feel on ur skin i.e cloths rubbing against ur skin, feet on the floor, hand not he key pad.

i hope it gets better.

im always here.

Love borderline barbie

Thanks Barbie for your wise words and support. It's a very long story and series of events but I agree that I need to re evaluate who I have around me. This person and I used to be so close and I feel she now takes me for granted and is very selfish.

It is so true though that anytime anyone does something then I take it so personally and believe it must be because of me and my fault!

I really do try to be a good person. My psychologist says that I put too much effort into trying to being a good person for others and so when they don't put in as much effort as I do then I am so upset and it makes me feel worthless and rejected.

I am taking a step back from this person and focussing on people who value me. I don't need people in my life who make me feel worse than I already do. I just get so sad as we used to be so close and she was lovely to me. The lesson to learn from this I suppose is not to base my self worth on other people's validation and acceptance of me.........my huge aim in life. Just imagine how happy I'd be then. Xx
