@Ru-bee the 5 senses are hard cos I get triggered when it comes to smell or taste.
I've been pacing around my house but I have to keep sitting down before I pass out. I can't really move around too much cos my heart rate is already sitting around 160bpm so I don't want it to go any higher or else it will be an ambulance trip which I really want to avoid if i can.

That's completely fair @Dreamy and it's totally okay to not do 5 senses, maybe just spend a minute each (or 30 seconds if that's more accessible) on your sight, hearing, and touch?
And if you're not able to move your body too much maybe progressive muscle relaxation could be an alternative
Sometimes repeating something like a mantra can help to, something simple like I am safe, or anything that works for you

@Ru-bee I'm trying everything but I just can't seem to calm myself down. I've made the report to police now. They actually got the person that did this cos he went to the doctors i go to. So he has been taken in for questioning.

Okay @Dreamy that's good that they were able to find and take him in.
Good on you for doing that report, I'm sure that wouldn't have been easy

@Ru-bee no it wasn't. Why is my life like this? I'm being screamed abuse at right now. I don't know what I did to deserve all this. I'm so done 😞

Who's yelling at you at the moment @Dreamy?
You certainly don't deserve any of this, no one does

@Ru-bee it was a couple of the people that come to hurt me. It's all too much for me, what am I supposed to do?

Sounds like you've had a really hard day @Dreamy I hear you, it just doesn't seem to be letting up today. Are they gone now?

@Ru-bee they are gone now yes. I'm just completely broken right now 😞
