I feel like my thoughts are out of control they are around SH, am safe but am struggling with the thoughts I have been so stressed the thoughts are just coming back. I don't want to have my addiction to SH again. I want to stay clean.
@Former-Member - am safe

I am glad you have a safe place @Fluttershy1 Hopefully after food shopping you can come back to your safe place. Perhaps you can reward yourself with something from the supermarket for going there today. I would reward myself with a crunchie bar. Is there anything that you like?

@Snowie - I like bounty chocolate

Yummy, I like them too. Perhaps you can buy yourself a treat whilst you are there @Fluttershy1
That way you have something to look forward to when you get home and can get back into your safe space.
I think I might buy myself a treat too.

@Peregrinefalcon - am safe, just having a really rough morning if you look back

That is understandable @Fluttershy1
Sometimes it is hard to face the world.
Does your support worker come to your house?

Yeah @Snowie, I feel like a let down though, everything is hard, I can't stop breaking down. I'm really upset today. It feels like my whole world is falling apart, family issues are not good today, I feel like a failure to them because I got to act like everything is okay around them when it isnt. They are telling me I don't have any MH issues, they don't even ask if I'm okay, they don't ask if I need anything, they just don't seem to care or understand my MH, it just really frustrates me when they just say I'm attention seeking when I'm not, I'm actually struggling. I'm holding it all together around family because they will just judge me for who I am. I feel like they don't care about me. They spoil my brother more than me, when I ask for one thing they say no, buy it yourself, you have money.
It's just yeah, I don't know how to explain it.
am safe

It sounds like you explain it pretty well @Fluttershy1
You are able to get your thoughts out which is great.
It is hard when we do not have support around us, especially when it is family and they don't understand our MH issues.

It's not fair @Snowie - nobody cares. Maybe I'll just leave here and keep quiet.
