Best to you, OP.
Yeah...gonna have to agree with this. You won't be able to eat pray love this away unfortunately. Your safe space has been violated in a hyperaggressive way. Make some time for therapy. You can do it and most insurances should cover at least some of the cost. I'm very sorry that happened to you. It's not fair and people suck.

My house was burgled several years ago and I never completely recovered. For weeks I couldn’t sleep and I am still crazy about home security and the possibility of theft now in a way I never was before. I was emotionally wounded as they took all my jewelry including my wedding and engagement rings and other pieces of sentimental value that I mourn to this day. Be nice to yourself op. It takes time.

I am so sorry that you are having these feelings.
Tell yourself “It is one series of events in a lifetime of events. I must go on.” Everywhere we turn there are sad, tragic, life-changing occurrences. To dwell on the negatives is to invite depression and hopelessness. Yet, somehow, God has given us the will and ability to survive when circumstances seem to difficult to bear — which seems like where you are right now.
Paul in the New Testament wrote to the Corinthian people “We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-8. In other words, “this is one series of events in a lifetime of events.”
I pray that this phrase helps you in your situation which right now I am hearing seems like the end of the world —- I pray that you can step back and take a look at the situation in light of everything else that has happened in your life and see it as just one series of events over your lifetime.

Give yourself time to see the feels and get through those. What’s at the bottom of it?
Think about what helps you reset physically and mentally. Spa days help me physically but there isn’t always/ever time. Instead I buy some quality bath products for difficult days. Try to opt outside when I can
Emotionally is hard. I remind myself of the safety I’ve had until that incident. I remind myself that my city has good fire police ems services etc and I try to stay alert but also remind myself of the safety I have here.

I pray every day. Give up your day in the safekeeping of God. You are just the observer and actor, not responsible for what the result will be of your good actions.

Meditation. Get an app. I use headspace.

What is the best way you have found to reset your mental state after a string of bad events?
We had an armed break in and some concern over a medical diagnosis. I have been in hyper aware, fight or flight for the last few weeks and everything is on the upswing but I can’t seem to shake that negativity and anger. I know therapy is probably the answer but to be honest, I really don’t have the time to dedicate towards that. Anyone have any other advice if moving past some bad stuff? I feel like it’s weighing on me and I should take a step back from people right now because I don’t want to come off angry or negative to others.
