Hi you are not going crazy at all. How can you be when your father treated you like that. If you didn't have claustophobia I would be much more surprised! What an appalling way to treat a child. Did you manage to work through this with your therapist? x

It took a while to get me back to reality and make me believe i was in an office and not locked in

I’m so, so sorry about the trauma you have endured. You’re safe now and never alone...I wish you much love and security on your journey 🌷🌞🌷

Im sorry you had to go through that and you're not crazy some things can trigger some memories to make our mind feel like we're back in that space. Just try to do some exercise to keep you grounded to reality

How scary. Your brain must have had a flashback. I have them. They feel real. I’m glad you are working on this with a therapist. Be gentle with yourself.
