I can’t cope

I can’t take much more.

Will this ever end?

Will I get through it?

Hi @Captain24,

I'm Sphinxly, one of the moderators here.

I can hear you're in a lot of emotional pain right now and feeling hopeless and uncertain about the future. Recovery is unpredictable which makes it hard to keep hope sometimes.

What helps you when you get into this head space? For me, it's reading my list of things that make me smile.

We're here with you. Always know you can reach out to a help line for extra support.

Much care,

Sphinxly

I’m just heading off to work. I didn’t sleep very well so it could be a hard shift.

I still feel really unsettled but I do feel a little better than when I went to bed though

Hey @Captain24

Was about to reach out and see how you were doing today and your post came through 😁.

I think that last night was a rough one. Hopefully you can get a little distracted at work. Thinking of you xx

Hey @Captain24 ! I'm here cheering you on! Look up and know you can do it!

I'll be waiting for when you finish your shift tonight.

Hugs, tyme

Whenever those thoughts come, don't forget to park the ice-cream van there @Captain24 - or Pixie!

I not long got home from work. I’m about to go to bed and hopefully sleep well today.

Yes @Former-Member Thursday night was really rough. Thank you and @tyme for supporting me through it and keeping me safe and the 2 days prior.

I had a good shift last night. I was busy so I didn’t really have time to think. I have come home and going to bed in a better place. While I still feel a little unsettled, I feel safe and stable.

I didn’t even think of the ice cream van or muddy Pixie @tyme. I think I was way to deep into the dangerous state

Thank you both so much for your support.

@Captain24 - It's whatever keeps you safe. We want to make sure you are okay, and happy to connect with you.

Hopefully you will be able to nip the unhelpful thoughts in the bud so that it doesn't get to the point of no return? What do you think?

Are you working tonight?

Sorry @tyme. Yes I was at work.

Last night was really hard and I nearly called my boss so I could go home. However I thought being at work was my safest option.

I have moments when I think I have ‘nipped them in the bud’ and others where it’s a real struggle to get through.

I’m telling myself that I will beat these unhelpful thoughts. I just hope I can.

Hopefully the appointments the next 2 days will help and not set me back again like last weeks

Why is talking so hard? I had a therapy session today and I feel like I’m on the edge.
