you tell me to relax
i cant
i’m pacing
back and forth
in an agitated fashion
come on, relax now
you say softly
its no use
i’m starting to spiral
as i flit in and out
i hear you try to bring me back
but the memories have taken over
now i’m right back there
right back in the midst of it
and nothing you can do will pull me out
but please, i beg you
please, keep trying?
dont let me drown in the flashback

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.
