Raining

Hi @Kyle1,

I can feel the sadness in your post. I am really sorry you are feeling this way. Is someone around that can be with you today? It sounds like a lot to sit with by yourself. It's really good that you have reached out to SANE's drop in centre and you have spoken to a social worker/counsellor.

You can call the drop in centre 10am to 10pm Monday to Friday so if you still feel like you could do with chatting to someone later today please reach out to them - 1800 187 263.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

No, there is no one around. I wish there were... 😪

I'm fighting the urge to take medicine with alcohol...

My heart actually hurts and is fluttering... What I wouldn't give for a hand to hold

Hey there @Kyle1

I'm sitting with you while you're feeling this way, is there anything you could do right now to distract yourself? 💘

Hi @amber22

I'm listening to music on my phone.

Otherwise it's a really pathetic picture curled inside a doona

Hey @Kyle1

What are you listening to right now?

I am sitting with you, you're not alone feeling like this. I often find music or a podcast helps me to distract myself from my own thoughts

That song is so nice @Kyle1

Do you have much planned for tonight?

@amber22

No. It's raining heavily. A good night to sit by the fire and talk of poems and prayers and promises (like the John Denver song) but in reality I'm expecting a long aching nite, or wine with medicine. Which I've never tried b4

Oh I love the rain, I find it so calming @Kyle1 It is too hot where I am, it got to 38 degrees earlier.

I really don't think that mixing medicine and alcohol is a good idea for tonight, maybe we can come up with something else that you might be able to distract yourself with? Maybe something we can do together? Or something that you might like to watch/ draw/ listen to/ cook etc.?
