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.

Let yourself @creative_writer ! Bed's my best friend today too! I have a headache so I just stayed in bed.
I'm feeling better now though.
I just went downstairs for a bit, and then retreated again.

Hi @tyme
This is TMI but I think I have a UTI and not sure what to do because of the public holiday and if I should go to ED.
How are you?

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
@tyme, feeling rather headachy myself too. I hope you feel better soon 💖
@Birdofparadise8, that’s not good, I hope it settles soon. It’s always hard with public holidays and health services. Some GPs do work on public holidays, that’s an option too.

@Kyle1, it’s not good, but I have no energy. But at least I smell nice 🤭. I’m obsessed with perfumes too and use them everyday. Sort of lifts the mood and brings me to the present.
