Something’s not right

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.

Never mind, @creative_writer. The doc called me and sent me a script for antibiotics.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

I was suggested looking in day programs recently, does anyone have experience with these? It might not be feasible for me to do any right now with placement coming up. The idea of opening up to strangers is so terrifying. It’s hard enough reaching out for help, I just don’t like depending too much on people. I always feel like I’ll be misunderstood, judged and nobody will be able to meet my needs because my emotions are too big, so I tend to keep to myself.

I feel the switch of darkness turning on. A part of me wants to sleep and not wake up. I’m not okay but safe for now 😞.

@creative_writer You're not alone. And this isn't new... you've been here before 🫂🫂🧡 and made it through!

You're clearly stronger than you feel right now...

I'm here if you'd like to vent and let, OK? 🙏
