I can’t cope

Hugs @Captain24 - please do what's right for you. I'm sitting with you.

I’ve just woken up and I’m getting ready for work but I’ve just got nothing left @tyme @creative_writer

You can do this @Captain24

I'm cheering you on @Captain24 . When you have a break, come for a cuppa. Just tag me in 🙂

By the way, I went on a LONG walk today!

Hi @Captain24 , I'm glad your GP listened...I'm sorry for the situation you find yourself in 😞

Sending wishes...

Thanks @NatureLover . Apparently my GP or nurse will ring me, hopefully with some help, either today or tomorrow. I’ll be asleep both days but I’ll leave my phone on just in case.

I had a good night at work but still feel defeated and hopeless

Good on you for walking @tyme !!

I really need to be asleep otherwise it’s going to be an extra long shift. I just can’t sleep. My head just won’t stop.

I’m feeling frustrated that my team are all trying work out how to help me together but no one is discussing anything with me. I just left here to try and struggle through and it just keeps getting harder and harder.

Hi @Captain24 ❤️

I see that you're struggling to sleep. I'm sorry that you're feeling this way, and that your mind is racing right now. It is definitely a very hard feeling.

Is there anything particular thats on your mind? It can be really hard to hear other people discussing your healing journey or things that are to do with you, but not actually include you in it. It might be worth letting them know that you would prefer them to be transparent with you and to include you in such conversations, as it doesn't make you feel great when they don't.

Have you tried listening to a meditation or trying some apps that may be able to calm your mind for now? It sometimes can help doing some breath work along with a video online, or anything that you think might soothe your racing thoughts for now.

Try not to focus on getting yourself to sleep just yet, rather focus on calming down your mind and body (whatever works for you best: meditation, watching a short video, reading, breath work, or even getting out of bed for a slow stretch?)

All the best,
Amber22

I’ve given up trying to sleep @amber22 . I tried breathing, relaxation and listening to the rain on the roof. I’m just to agitated and the feelings of hopelessness, despair and the SI just won’t ease up today.

Thanks for your suggestions
