Hi @Mimm, I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling without your team, that must be so tough!! Before the two week break did you and your therapist/case manager talk about a plan to manage these types of situations while you weren't getting as much support? Do you have a safety plan?

Hello @Mimm
i feel for you having such horrid feelings returning after already being hospitalised.
your feelings must be all over the place.
we often get told to distract and whilst this can be useful sometimes, if we are past that point the best thing we can do for ourselves is talk to someone as @Former-Member advised
lifeline no 131114
others are listed on one of the pages on here i just happen to know lifeline no off by heart.
please look after yourself and give yourself another chance you have come this far make that phone call.
take care

I can definitely understand what a big step it is to post on the Forums, or contact the mental health team for support. You're showing so much courage and strength by reaching out. I hope you realise that!
If you can find that extra bit of strength, I would really encourage you to make that phone call. It sounds as if you're really struggling tonight and having that additional support might be just what you need to start fresh with your daily plan and routine tomorrow?
Whatever you decide, take good care of yourself and thanks for sharing your experience with us. We will be thinking of you and sending you strength!
