Hello @Former-Member, Reading through and catching up over the last couple of day. Sweetheart, I am concerned for you. Everyone is giving you great information and please do not be affraid to use it if needed. Have you managed to get to a counsellor or therapist of some sore? I understand that working is keeping you busy but please try to take it easy. How much sleep are you getting? May be a visit to your GP would be a good idea. Don't be affraid to tell them how, what and why you are feeling like this. Your GP will be able to direct you to the help you need and diserve.
Please take care, keep safe and speak soon.

Hi @Former-Member, you're not alone in pushing through when you're busy then feeling flat once the pressure lets up and you have time to reflect. Has this happened in the past? How have you managed?
It sounds like you are keeping up with lots of things, I hope you can give yourself credit for your successes as well as noting what you are still getting on top of.

Hi @Former-Member
I've just read through many of your messages, and replies. I did try to reply to you a while ago, but am not sure it was posted. I resonate with your writings a lot, even though in past relationships. I want you to know this:
Know that you are amazing for who you are, what you are dealing with, and everything in between.
Know that you are NOT alone.
Know that help IS possible, and that you can get it, and are worth it.
Know that, in my opinion, you should trust your gut.
Please, Please, look after yourself. You are worth fighting for.
Whim x

Hi @Former-Member
There's no need to feel guilty - it's good that you're reaching out for help.
There has been some really great suggestions from other members earlier on in this thread - it might be worth reading back on those.
Also, we have a great thread called 'Coping Box' which might have some strategies you find helpful.
Are you still feeling wound up, like you mentioned earlier?
There's another moderator about to pop online - but I'll be back on tomorrow to see how you're travelling.
Please take care,
Nik
