I can’t cope

No @tyme I haven’t heard the superhero pose? I’m intrigued.

I shouldn’t have shared as much as I did when it can to the trust part. But I just had to get it out.

I'm curious to know why you think you shouldn't have shared as much as you did @Captain24 ? I found it invaluable. But happy to hear your thoughts on this.

When I did my psychological studies, we researched the Superhero pose. I did a quick Google: Cuddy's research has revealed that power posing for just two minutes before an important event or a difficult task can lead to the production of high testosterone levels and low cortisol levels in the bloodstream. This is big news!

What do you think about this?

Actually I think I’ve heard something similar some where @tyme. Maybe something i was researching and it was there. It was standing up tall, hands in fists on your waist. Arms strong. Head up. Like a body builder. Is that the right track?

I just feel I was a bit too negative on trusting people. But I honestly feel like I have no trust after what I’m going through

Yes yes ! The Superhero pose @Captain24 - scientifically proven to boost confidence 🙂 That's for tomorrow.

As the the trust issue... you know what? I still have HUGE difficulties trusting people. Please don't feel this is uncommon. I've been hurt many times, and I have also hurt others many times.

What I share on the forums is more than what I share what ANYONE.

I feel more connected to you all than people in real life - perhaps largely because I am much better expressing myself in written form than spoken.

I find sharing my experiences on the forums a lot more helpful than writing it in a journal to no-one.

By knowing I have an 'audience' on the forums, I am then able to post a more thought-out post. I have found with journalling, it was a brain dump of negativity, and it really made things worse.

Trust and mistrust has an important place in our survival. We have these instincts for a reason.

I’m not sure if you are old enough but I think He-man! @tyme By the power of greyskull. I have the power!!

I have trust in my nurse and tell her everything and on here. But sometimes on here lately I don’t feel heard.

I have to journal but it’s not same

Anyway I guess you’re about to head off and I might go to bed.

Thanks for your support

Hugs @Captain24 . You never fail to amaze me.

I am hearing you.

I am sitting with you.

You are strong. You are powerful 🙂

I look forward to hearing how it goes.

Oh, and I am off for tonight, but will catch you tomorrow! @Captain24

Just under 2 hrs to this dreaded psych appointment. I’m so nervous and scared!

I so hope he clears me. If he doesn’t I don’t know what I’m going to do.

Hi @Captain24,

Wishing you every good wish that it goes well for you today. Positive thoughts with fingers and toes crossed for you.

Big hugs,
