I need to eat some ice-cream and then read. I need to avoid some personal excessive habits leading to self-harm. I read a thread tonight which um, well. OOPS!
Am safe! Just a bit uncomfortable and I've got a slight headache and feeling a little restless/irritable. ah... Anyway...

Hi @Former-Member 😄🌷
Sounds like another difficult night for you. I am sorry 💕
I hope your attempts at grounding worked for you, and you were able to avert any self harm practices.
What is your favourite ice cream flavour? I like to read too, as a distraction. But my eyes are not as good as they should be. So I now have an audio book subscription.
Hope you are okay sweetie.
