@Sunnyside226 Aww hun, that's really rough.

But hey, if you can't cry to us here then where? What I mean is, this is exactly the place for you to be expressing your emotions and talking about everything you got going on.

And doesn't matter to me if you've 'done something stupid' - I saw your email and I know you're safe. What's done is done, and there's no judgement from us here, we've all been there before. Sometimes the best thing to do is focus on the next step, not the things in the past that we might be regretting.

Aww sucks your headphones aren't helping. What else do you find helpful to calm you down?

Do you like singing? Fun fact, singing stimulates the vagus nerve - which is a big nerve near the stomach that is heavily involved in our fight/flight/freeze/fawn response. AKA, singing can actually help us to soothe ourselves! If you don't wanna sing out loud though that's understandable, just talking about stuff I find helpful for myself just in case it can help you too 😉

Yesterday I was gonna go out to a friend's place in the bush but I overslept and missed my opportunity 😓 I ended up going for a nice long walk in the park behind my house though, it was very nice to feel the grass between my toes (I like walking/running barefoot!).

Kitties are good! They've been in and out all day, which means I've had to be up and down opening the door for them 🤣 Little scamps!

The kitty cats are giving you exercise 😂😂😂 they are very cute tho

Do you have eyes in the back of your head or something Gee you know everything

I did something like 5_10 minutes ago

You overslept you must of needed it at least it wasn't a all sleep 😂

Me singing I think people would run off if someone heard me singing 😂😂😂

I am screaming and crying @Jynx why does everyone have to be mean i feel lost about to have a big meltdown

My friend is coming to take the kids for a couple of hours because I really am messed up and not coping at all.

What did you do today? @Jynx 💜💜

@Sunnyside226 haha they are indeed giving me exercise! Perhaps I should be thanking them 😋

Haha nah that's just my job!

Aww hun, try to be gentle and kind with yourself okay? Maybe have a look at our post about Self-Care for Self-Harm and see if there's anything in there that can help you 💜

Yeah it was a good sleep in for sure!

Let them run off then! The only person you'd be singing for is yourself, and singing is something humans have been doing since forever - it's in our nature!

Who has been mean to you? Up to you if you wanna talk about it of course; sometimes it's good to get it off the chest, but sometimes talking about it can just bring up all the crappy feelings all over again. But we here on the forums are on your side no matter what!

I'm glad you have some hours to yourself! What do you think you'll do? Enjoy the quiet time I'm sure!

Not much today, just had my brekky and jumped onto forums! I wake up quite late most of the time. So mostly hiding in the air con and opening and closing the door for my cats. Boy what a Monday! 😂

@Jynx sorry for a late reply I was on the phone to the bf oh man not a happy person I told them what I was going to do and we talked about it and then we talked about him getting a new tattoo like he doesn't have enough 😂😂

You just had breakfast? Gee did you just wake up or something?

And yes I would love to tell you want happened and all the feeling but I am not sure if I want everyone to know 😔

I wish I had someone to hug me I feel so sad and I have time to myself that's not a good thing so I am glad you are here @Jynx

Your kitty cats are so funny 😍💜❤️

Sorry for my love hearts are weird of make you uncomfortable please tell me to stop

Yep I'm a night owl @Sunnyside226!

Haha no such thing as 'enough' tattoos! Unless he runs out of room on his skin 😋

Fair enough hun, as always you can share as much or as little as you like on here. If you do need to get something off your chest, you can always buzz the counsellors, they're a super supportive bunch! 1800 187 263 (they're open till 8pm).

I can send you virtual cuddles! I'm glad to be here 💜

Huuuugs!

No need to apologise hun! We actively encourage emojis, use em however you like! If there's ever anything that you say or do that makes me uncomfortable, I would 100% let you know. So don't let your brain tell you that expressing affection is too much! Cos unless I explicitly tell you otherwise, you can assume that it's okay. I'm all for it!

💜✨🤗

@Jynx I'm having some serious thoughts 😭😭😭😭

What kind of thoughts @Sunnyside226? Self-harm or suicide kind of thoughts? Very mean thoughts?

Here for you 💜

Suicide ones and yes very mean serious thoughts @Jynx I want to be with him I am going because I can't handle this

@Sunnyside226 that is really rough - you do what you need to do to look after yourself.

But super quick before you go - are you safe? Will you be able to keep yourself safe if these thoughts get louder?

Maybe I will stay for another hour to talk to you or anyone and I am not comfortable sharing that information on here @Jynx
