I can’t cope

Ooooo @Captain24 - I have not caught up with your earlier posts. I will read it now.

Maybe for now, it's about self-soothing so you can sleep?

Whatever it is, it sounds like you had a difficult day, but still pushed yourself to go to the functioned - that in itself needs acknowledgement.

Please know that if at any time you feel unsafe, contact:

- Lifeline on 13 11 14

- Beyondblue on 1300 224 636

- Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467

Or 000 if in immediate danger.

I'll go back and read your posts now 🙂

I just read your posts @Captain24 - would you go to your parents place tonight?

Remember, you DO deserve to live. Give yourself that permission to live and that permission to recover. Allow your wings to be strengthened so that you can fly to places you won't even dream of right now.

I know it's possible because I've done it. There is no special mark on me that says 'tyme should recover but not @Captain24 ....' I'm no one special.

It hasn’t been an easy day. @tyme.

I can’t go to my parents place as they have no room. I promised my GP that I would stay safe but it is really hard. But I can’t let her down.

Sorry to hear it hasn't been easy @Captain24 .

I remember a song i used to learn at Sunday school:

If all were easy,

If all were bright,

Where would the cross be?

Where would the fight?

When things get hard, I say these words in my head.

There's no victory without a battle...

Hugs to you @Captain24 . I hope you find some rest tonight.

The talk at the function was about emotions and self confidence. Apparently it’s as easy as having a positive mindset! If only it was that simple! @tyme

I like those words.

Today is still really hard. I’m not sure I can do it. But I guess I have to try.

Hey @Former-Member

I’ve had the SI since I woke up but all I’ve got is to try and keep busy. If I stop then I think I’ll be in trouble. I don’t really know what else to do.

I can see that it's been so hard for you @Captain24 ❤️ but you keep getting yourself through each day of this period, and you're well on your way to getting yourself through today.

If you do feel in trouble, you know to reach out to a crisis service or to your supports.

It's ok to not have the answers 💚 It sounds like social connection has been a helpful distraction for you recently. What have you got for today?

I’ve tried so hard to keep busy all

day. The thoughts were never far from my mind. I just can’t keep distracted any longer. I’m exhausted
