Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

@Jynx @tyme thank you both.

I'll be OK. Im just moaning and grumpy. I didn't sleep last night coz of the pain, lack of sleep never helps anyone.

Im distressed. But I'm safe. Just feeling annoyed and really sorry for myself. Im sleeping on the couch tonight coz my bedroom is next to the neighbours. And at least then I dont have to stumble to the room, I forgot how hard crutches are lol.

I just needed to vent my frustrations. Im trying relax and self soothe. I took my meds early so hopefully I sleep tonight. Ill distract myself with games and chats until I fall asleep.

Im really overwhelmed. I dont have overnight support anymore. tonight flashbacks and memories and feeling are hitting hard. I have anniversaries approaching that is when my life went turned upside down as a teen, and things began the cycle of suicide and addiction. Thinking of those years, the destruction, the pain. Im a different person now, I have compassion for that girl now. Its hard seeing them (seeing myself) like that, and all the pain they felt, how scared and alone they were.

I kinda feel that rn. I feel alone.

Re: Red's house

Oh hun... hearing you. It sounds incredibly hard to feel so alone.

I've often acknowledged how far you have come in your journey, but that doesn't mean it's all smooth sailing.

Please know we are here for you. @The-red-centaur

Re: Red's house

@tyme thank you.

Its hitting hard that I feel like one cares or has ever cared unless they were paid to. (Or they someone I've never met, online) and that if i disappeared it wouldn't matter and no one would notice.

Re: Red's house

I understand you are all here for me at sane.

But its not the same, I can't just talk freely and empathy is hard to feel or portray with written language. I value this space.

But I wish sometimes I had physical people in my life. I usually dont feel lonely But its cold, its dark, im alone, im scared. The last few years I've been looked after 24/7, they've been there coz they had to be. And the constant presence of people distracted from the fact no one else is there for me in my life.
