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.

@Jynx, I posted it without thinking. My words sometimes come out when I am emotionally overwhelmed. But today has been pretty shit to get to that stage. Just trying to do what I can do stay safe.

@Jynx. I probably need sleep, once I am in bed, it's easier to stay safe. I just hope I wake up feeling better tom. Might catch you another time. Goodnight 🙂❤️ . Hope you have a restful night.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together
So I had a rough start to the morning, a body flashback. I don’t know why it happened, I hadn’t had one for a while. So emotionally I have been struggling. Now, I don’t feel like being productive with uni since mood is off. All I’ve done is self-care this morning. My arm also hurts a bit and slightly swollen, I sort of slipped, but I’m okay. So no cleaning for me today. My closet really does need sorting, I guess it’ll have to wait. So I’ve done nothing productive and feel pretty shit about that.

Thanks for tagging me here @creative_writer .
I'm all ears. I'm reading it is very tough going at the moment with the flashbacks?
