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

Perhaps some puzzles or xbox.
I was going to start a jigsaw puzzle soon to try and keep my mind busy.

Thats not good to hear @Fluttershy1
Can you do something to ease the pain?
Sometimes when my head hurts I just need to switch off for awhile and try and give my brain and thoughts a rest. I try and occupy myself of distract myself and do some self care.

Can you do something to help yourself @Fluttershy1
Do a puzzle
Write your thoughts down on a piece of paper and throw it away
Go for a walk
Play with a pet.
Something to get your mind of what is happening

When my Mum disrespects me, I write down my thoughts on a piece of paper, then tear it up and throw it away. It can help. Perhaps it might be something to try @Fluttershy1 Doesn't have to be straight away but sometime in the future.
There is nothing wrong with hiding either hon. I hide sometimes, especially when I need a break from everyone.
Can you do a puzzle whilst you are hiding. Something to keep your mind occupied.
