Stuck and can’t escape it.

Aw, sounds really stressful and overwhelming right now @Fluttershy1 💜

What will help you to feel less anxious, do you think?
If I’m stuck in ER and it’s making me feel overwhelmed, I try to focus on something that usually helps like putting a calming song on beside my ear, from my phone, and I get the blanket and wrap it firmly around my shoulders like it’s hugging me 🌺💜

I don’t know if this is helpful, however I am hoping there’s something we can do together to help you 💜💜

Sleep well @creative_writer - I don’t think I’ll be sleeping for awhile

@Former-Member - I’m exhausted, I’ve got headphones in trying to soothe myself but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’m hitting overtired.

Yes I do understand @Fluttershy1 💜 it’s really hard to feel ok when there’s so much going on, and feeling exhausted ❤️‍🩹

Has anyone come to see you?
@tyme ‘s idea sounded really good - if they have someone there you can talk to ❤️‍🩹💜

I have @tyme - sorry I might have been off with the fairies and didn’t see you comment!

@Former-Member - only just saw @tyme - message, trying to manage the best I can, I hate feeling unwell and struggling at the same time

It’s ok @Fluttershy1 💜🌺

there’s loads going on, and more then one thing for you to attend to right now 💜🫂

From my perspective, you’re doing really good - you’re reaching out, talking about how it feels, and we are here with you, to let you know you’re not alone, and we understand 💜🌺🫂

Feeling unwell isn’t just being sick, it also drains mental and emotional energy and capacity, which I think makes us more vulnerable to anything. Sitting with you in this moment of struggle and discomfort 💜🌺

@Fluttershy1 Due to new med I take at night I’m having to head off to bed very soon.

wanted to stop by and see how you are last thing.

sorry to hear you are in emergency waiting to be seen. It brings back memories of few years ago when my husband had side effects due to his chemo. Other takes me back to being in emergency all day myself. It’s the having to wait around not knowing what’s going on I found the worst thing.

I also have physical and mental health problems, most challenging for me to try to manage of my physical health is intestinal related.
I’ve been in emergency as a patient few times, time that comes to mind I had very high temperature, couldn’t keep anything down and was very light headed. Was in emergency cubicle for more than 12hours during which time lots of fluids into me plus blood tests taken. Got as comfy as I could, closed my eyes, tried to blank out the noise and tried to get some sleep. Was so grateful to go home very late that night and into my own bed with cat I had at the time.

hoping you can try to relax a bit and get chance to close your eyes and give them a rest.

hoping you get some much needed sleep soon my friend 💜
