Hey all,
I keep losing myself, I recently lost a family member to cancer and had the funeral and have been struggling for a few weeks while grieving and dealing with a few other things in my life,
I just don’t know how to help myself while im stuck in this loop. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate that I’m trying to manage and was just trying to find a space to where I can express it.
im safe

Hey @Fluttershy1 I'm sorry to hear you've had a cancellation.
Not too sure about the support centre - alas it will be closed by now though. You can maybe try a different support line to chat to someone? BB, KHL, SCBS should all still be open. Also you're welcome/encouraged to send an email to let them know you've been having trouble getting through - can't resolve issues if we don't know about them.
Take some nice deep breaths and take it slow. We gotchu.

@Fluttershy1 very recently! It makes sense for how I interact with and support all my lovely forumites. Makes me all warm n fuzzy inside.
Aww rocking is good! Stimming to help self-soothe is totally legit, even if it's not portrayed as such in the media. I do a lot of hand stimming, and bouncing, and wiggling myself. Whatever helps you regulate is a good thing in my books.
