I can’t cope

@Captain24 it's ok sweet. I'm sorry you've hardly had any sleep. I've not been around much myself. It's not been a great day for me and as the evening is getting on things are getting harder. I'm safe for now, trying to eat some dinner and then I'll do some more diamond art, I'm over half way finished.

Sorry it’s a hard day @MissGremlin

Ive done a little bit of diamond art but the grass is hard. I actually timed it and it took me 23 minutes to do one colour! no wonder it feels like forever.

Im still really down and not feeling great. I got an email from my psych and all it said was ok and she see me on the next appointment. I was kind of hoping for a little more.

I won’t add to your day. Sorry

@Captain24 I'm still here for you sweet ❤️.

I'm sorry that's all the psych said back, I really thought she would have said more. I can imagine that I'm itself feels hurtful on top of feeling down.

That's definitely time consuming, so worth it in the end though.

She didn’t even ask how I was @MissGremlin. I guess that says it all. I’m just a number.

I’ve fed the dogs but I haven’t eaten yet so I haven’t taken my meds. I want to go to bed but I’m just not tired so I’m going to sit here a little longer and do diamond art. I’d really like to finish this section. Maybe I’ll be tired by then.

@Captain24 I'm so sorry she's made you feel like you're just a number sweet, you're so much more than that.

Could you maybe have something little to eat, even some weetbix? We can sit here and do diamond art together, hopefully you'll get sleepy soon and that tonight you can get a good rest.

I just had 2 minute noodles and took my meds @MissGremlin

Hopefully they kick in soon. I just want to go to sleep [edited by moderator].

It should take me under an hour to finish this section. So that’s good.

@Captain24 I'm glad you've had something to eat and taken your meds.

I know that feeling all too well sweet, I'm sitting with you and sending lots of love and hugs ❤️.

That's good, not long at all.

oooh yum!! I might try something like this and get back to you. I saw a tiramisu version and it looked sooo good. @Captain24 😍

Gah, I understand this very well; our thoughts and feelings can be so much more heightened when we experience lack of sleep, so I can imagine you will feel much lighter tomorrow. (Remember that rest still allows your body to recharge, even if you don't get the perfect sleep every night.) ☺️

What noodles did you eat?

Thank you, the positive self-talk can be really tough and it is definitely a practice - my brain is the same re: unrelenting standards. I wonder how you can also be kind to yourself right now?

I am glad that connecting here is providing a safe anchor for you. 🥰

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this... let me have a think about what else you could access in the interim. Have you revisited Recovery Club at all?

How is little Pix going? 🥹

I am so glad you have this space to connect @MissGremlin, and we are genuinely equally glad to have both of you here as well 🥰 @Captain24

Can I see the diamond art you've been working on?

Hot chocolate and Harry Potter sound like the most comfy combo - perfect Winter vibes. What do you enjoy most about Harry Potter?

Ugh, I hear you. I have had a cough for over a month now too. Something seems to be lingering for lots of people! Does anything help? 🫶

I finished it and I’m about to start on the next section @MissGremlin
