Piecing the shattered glass together

Piecing the shattered glass together

I decided to start a new thread, my new chapter in my life is going to focus on healing my traumas, building resilience and self-worth and taking the steps of achieving mood stability. I am praying this year will be better than the last. Last year the SI got really intense, was so close to losing hope and I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces like shattered glass. It all still feels overwhelming, I have a long way to go on my healing journey, but I think I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful about the future.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

It's a bit like that, eh @creative_writer ? Brains just don't co-operate!!! Sounds like there needs to be a lot of brain training! Like me!

I have been procrastinating so much this week. I need a solid few hours to get some urgent things done.... hopefully sometime on the weekend.

I just need to formulate a list tonight and tell my brain just to do it! I think I can do it Sunday morning or something...

I hope you can tell your brain what to do tonight lol.

Please take care.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@tyme, these racing thoughts are driving me crazy, I don't know why I still have this excess energy. I've taken an extra antipsychotic because I feel like I am going insane. This nervous energy started just over a week ago now, though the meds are helping, I guess I just have to give it time

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

The extra Antipsychotic calmed the racing thoughts, feel pretty burnt out, depressed and exhausted (doesn’t help sedation is a side effect) and of course migraine is running it’s expected course 😒. Got little done today. Can someone tell me the trauma memories are not real? I feel so defined by it. Maybe I’m just not in a good mental headspace, it’s hard to shake it off

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

I was talking to my sister and mum, and my sister mentioned she had depressive symptoms when she will in primary school and felt her "life was over", I don't believe in a suicidal way, but kids do get unsettled at times with friendship breakups. My mum tried normalising it. I get MH struggles are common, but it still shouldn't be this way. Why do I feel annoyed?

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

I’m feeling more stable today. It has allowed me to reflect. Anyone else related to this? So I feel comfortable being alone and in my own company. It does get lonely, but at least I feel safe. I always have this expectation that I won’t connect with other people and it’s not safe to be myself, maybe it’s a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like I’m afraid of feeling lonely. I’m not afraid of feeling lonely alone, but afraid of feeling lonely around other people

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

Has anyone had experience with getting diagnosed with ASD? I feel like I was once diagnosed with really mild ASD years ago when I was living overseas. The idea of having ASD only resurfaced when I was with the HOPE team. I guess my psych or pdoc would be the best supports to talk to

Does anyone else feel a sense of contamination that can not be erased or cleaned? Maybe it's a trauma response
