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.

anger, if it turns bitter, can be like a snake biting it's tail...
And sometimes it feels like our only form of expression, none the less. 😔

@Kyle1, I feel like when anger grows to bitterness, it’s like sipping poison. I feel like sometimes anger feels like a more acceptable form of expression.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
I feel flat and anxious. When will this grief subside?

@amber22, I don’t know why I’m so upset 😭. I had a few days where my mood was still low but more manageable, don’t know what happened
💕

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
Aww I am sorry to hear that you're feeling upset today. Take today one step at a time and it's okay if today has to be a bit of a write off.
Are you getting up to much today? @creative_writer

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@amber22, I’m a plant in human form, it feels too dark for me today. I’m so sleepy and flat out depressed.
I have a social thing later today. I am kind of dreading it now, don’t know why I agreed but it’s too late to opt out now.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
I feel you on feeling like a plant sometimes! It's also very rainy and dark where I am, but sometimes it's nice to relax during this weather if you can, or pop on a movie/ tv show.
Aw, maybe getting out and socialising will help you feel a bit better. Is it later on today? @creative_writer

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@amber22, it is perfect weather to cozy up at home. I wish I could prepare for uni tom but I’m unmotivated to get up. I just want to disappear, even though I know that’s not an option.
Maybe it’ll help to socialise for dinner, I don’t know. I hate ending up in social situations but feeling so disconnected. I hope I don’t end really exhausted since I have uni tom too.
