Anybody else?

Question

Does anybody else here get random bouts of feeling nervous/ anxious after getting harassed/ raped? - it happened about 4 years ago and haven’t really had this problem for a while but now it’s coming back- does anyone know how to make it stop?

Answer

I go thru phases where a certain memory brings anxiousness and I go into a deep depression for a few weeks. I just have to remember that’s these are just feelings. If this happens maybe make a list of some self care tips that will help you to recover. 
I usually stay in bed for a bit longer watch my fave tv shows or movies, drink some hot cocoa or tea and relax. Maybe use face masks and hair masks. Pamper your self.

Answer

I do. Many times. When this happens, I try to remind myself to breathe. In through the nose 5, out for 6 and repeat. Tell yourself you are okay. Another thing that helps me is a grounding technique. 5,4,3,2,1. First, I breathe. Take a deep breath. Next, I look for 5 things I can see. 4 things I can touch. 3 things I can hear. 2 things I can smell. Then 1 thing I can taste. This helps your body ground itself and make you feel more secure in the moment when your anxiety is rising.
