I can’t cope

Do you think you need some extra support tonight @Captain24? What could help you get through to bed time tonight when you can really sleep?

I’m going to cook some dinner when I can get out of bed @Ru-bee. I’m not sure what tonight looks like. Right now I’m too tired to look past the next few

minutes. I’m guessing I’ll sit and watch tv. It might be an early night. I’ve got lots to do tomorrow but I may allow myself a sleep in

These are her stairs up to the bed @tyme ignore the mess. I don’t have it in me to clean

I had dinner and now I feel sick. Why does everything have to be so hard? I’m trying so hard to look after myself.

Don't worry I’m not worth caring about.

Yeah I hear how hard you're working to look after yourself right now @Captain24

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well after dinner. Sometimes it's like the straw that broke the camel's back isn't it?

Have you got the tv on?

It’s pushed me over the edge @Ru-bee

I have home and away on.

Yeah I hear you @Captain24 you have already been carrying such a load today, the last thing you need is the discomfort of feeling sick. is there anything we could do together to help things feel a bit more manageable? Maybe we could try some grounding?

We could try @Ru-bee

Maybe we could give the 3-3-3 one that @rav3n posted a go @Captain24?

• Name 3 things you see: scan the space around you. For each item you identify, really focus on the details of it – what colour is it? Is it heavy or light? Big or small? What’s the texture of the object?
• Name 3 things you hear: what are some sounds near you or far from you, are they soft or loud? Listen closely to identify them.
• Move 3 parts of your body: it can be light or dramatic movements such as slowly rolling your shoulders, clenching and unclenching your fists, wiggling your fingers and toes, jumping up and down, shaking your wrists, etc.

1. I can see the dogs fluffy bed. It’s grey and soft and light. It has fluff all around it and has a blue soft check blanket in it.
I can see the kitchen stool. It white fairly light and has the dog leads and harness on it. Plus the jacket I ordered for Pix that’s too small.
I can see the tv. It’s got a thin black edge around it. It’s really heavy. I’ve paused the tv while I’m doing this and it has a picture of Kate Ritchie and John Wood in it.

2. I can hear Jett chewing his treat in my ear. It’s really close and annoying! It sounds slobbery

I can hear a car in the distance. It’s quite far away. It’s sounds like a ute something's. I can hear it revving.
I can hear a cow mooing. It’s in the distance and a comforting kind of sound.

3.My fingers as I type this.
Wriggling my toes in my Ugg boots.

Rolling my shoulders to try and reduce some tension
