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.

This evening has given me the gift of SI 😭. I’ll try to stay safe. This isn’t the first time either.

@tyme, I think I should pray, wind down and sleep. This isn’t a good frame of mind to be in. It got pretty bad the evening one week ago too (I even went into planning mode that day), I had to sleep it off. I’ll say goodnight for today

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@Kyle1, it is sunny here right now too, though the clouds are on their way. Did something trigger these feelings, or is it just an "I'm not having a bad day" sort of thing?

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

I often wake up this way. @creative_writer

But as time goes by, week after week, and the days grow a little more frigid and wet, I am expecting myself to cope better, but the reverse is happening. I'm becoming more confused by it all, and this then becomes a double portion because I want to be able to understand myself.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@Kyle1, frigid, shorter and wetter days don’t help me cope better, I find it more depressing. You are doing what you can to cope with depression, you are trying, you are reaching out, that says something.
