hi guys. Tomorrow is the two year anniversary. I suppressed everything for a year and a half and now I've sought help and told my family, the anniversary tomorrow is making me feel sick. I didn't feel like this last year, because I'd suppressed it, but now I feel scared and anxious and depressed. It's screwed up so many things since it happened and my confidence has sunk so much. I'm back at uni, which is where it happened, which is triggering in itself. Do you have any advice or any experiences or any way to cope through tomorrow?? Xxx
I'm really sorry that you're going through this today. This date is the memorial day of a serious transgression and a violation of the law. And I hope that somebody is there to provide you with comfort too; smart of you to seek out family now. It's only natural that you are sick or emotionally distraught. Have you any idea of what makes this season so much more challenging to suppress the ill feeling than the day of the last anniversary? I feel that the sooner you decide to use this unique day to process a trusting belief in yourself you will find the peace and joy you deserve. Do you imagine that your anxious and depressed feelings are out of not forgiving the actions of the person that harmed you? And back at school at the crime scene is certainly a memory trigger, and as you tell, in itself. Perhaps spending the better part of the day not trying to suppress or cloak the situation is a good idea. After all, this is an important day to brave-up to the dark side of this difficult situation. When you convince yourself that you will no longer tolerate the feelings of guilt or remorse and when you attempt to exert control over the anxiety and depressive thoughts, change is initiated. It's mainly the power of anger holding you and heading on aggressive feelings; this was really a humiliation that happened, so it's common to show signs of weakness on today. I'd distract by finding calming ideas. For example: treating yourself to good times today, and you may think of many things to do for yourself which raises happy thoughts.
It's a pleasure to have helped to open your mind up to possibility-thinking to help you cope on this day and I hope for you the best! If you need a friend, then please consider sending me a request, and I'd certainly be happy to know that you survived this day with peaceful moments. I send you a spirit-filled prayer thought for a healthy life!
