Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.
I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.
Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

@Snowflake oh did I wake you sorry that's very rude off me
I had a little sleep but I would see my dad there I can't sleep now I close my eyes I see him there
Plus the work phone was ringing before so that doesn't help
I want the best for my partner and siblings right now I don't care what happens to me as long as they are loved and looked after
There's one thing on my mind that won't stop 😞

@Sunnyside226 you definitely did not wake me- am here through out the night.
I get the feeling you are pulled in a few different directions between caring for your family and work committments. It is hard when your rest is interrupted too, I'm sorry to hear you can not sleep. Do you have any other things that you tend to focus on when you find you can't sleep like that?
I wonder if we can find a way to bring something else in to focus on, are there things that help you feel in a different space? (I'm always amazed by the different pictures and memes people post at times on here, but I can't seem to think of any creative things at the moment)

I wonder if there was something inparticular that happened earlier today that triggered these nightmares. Are there things you do when you wake up panicky that help you focus back on where you are and coming back to the here and now?

Hey @Sunnyside226,
I can see that you have had a difficult night managing the thoughts. I hope you were able to get at least a couple hours of sleep. It is very tricky sometimes to manage the SI and I'm glad that you are engaging here.
Maybe there is something that you can do right now to help distract yourself. We are here to support you so please continue to reach out and I hope the day gets better!
