Spinning spinning…

@petrichor

Please resist the idea or hurt yourself. It does matter. I have found ways that make sense to me to manage, but we are all different, what works for you ...

I have struggled with that one too. Mostly these days I am able to be kinder to myself, yet for a long time my feeling were a mess, not differentiated at all. Yes, you put it right. Somehow I do cope.

Hi @cloudcore

Haven’t done really anything. Just going with the flow. I’m past coping & caring at least for a little while.
how do you cope?

Hi @Appleblossom 💙

@petrichor Its sounds like you're feeling exhausted, is that right?

For me, at the worst of times, I was calling crisis services as an outlet to talk about my destructive thoughts. While it didn't fix everything, being able to fully express myself there took a look of weight and pain off my shoulders. Distractions through music was also helpful for me.

I understand can understand the apathy though, it's a tough head space to be in. It will pass though, so I'm glad you are able to reach out here to talk about some of your struggles 💛

@cloudcore

I’ve never really talked about my self harm thoughts apart from when I needed medical attention. I don’t know, 98% are just garbage thoughts anyway so not to worry about, it’s just to judge them remaining 2%

i find this actually really hard to think about.

Hey @petrichor

Finding a way to talk about it that is healthy can be tricky, but can be the break-through. My first big win in that field, was with a chiro who cared and I managed not to make my neck worse between appointments. Putting something in the way of those thoughts ... to push it back ... distract ... do something else, challenge its validity etc

Love the Bear meme.

@Appleblossom That is great 🙂

i just want to float 🙂

Good morning,

@Appleblossom @cloudcore @Former-Member @wellwellwellnez @Dimity

another day, another chance. My head & body are exhausted from the spinning. Sleep is an issue.
anyway, fingers crossed, I don’t have the strength to support myself.

take care

Morning @petrichor,

Sounds like you might have been having a rough couple of days, and I was going to check-in with you to see how you're travelling, but here you are! 😊

I love how you framed the day as another opportunity – "another day, another chance". That's a really powerful place to be coming from, particularly when you feel it's hard to be putting one foot in front of the other.

I was meaning to ask you when we last had our chat, have you been able to get in touch with professional support? If my memory serves me (and it doesn't always do that so well!), you've recently moved, is that right?
