I was mistreated at a psychiatric facility in early Nov and then was discharged too early. Now I'm heading backwards fast despite my therapy. Feeling tired but not much sleep. Yeah I'm safe etc. just fed up and mistrustful. It sucks so much 😔

My dear @ButterflyWings ,
Your username is so beautiful that I could never forget you. So delicate and precious.
I'm sorry you are feeling pretty flat. That's not easy.
I'm sitting and fluttering with you. I know you can do it.
Look up my dear, look up.

I'm so sorry to hear this @ButterflyWings .
Allow yourself to feel and experience this in your own way. There is no right or wrong.
We are sitting with you all the way.
Allow your wings to spread and take you above all this so that you can have a break too.
Hugs to you @ButterflyWings

Not sure what to say rn. Mum is hanging in there but her brother has been admitted to palliative care. He has only days left. Mum won't last much longer after he is gone. She had such a frail day on Wednesday. I feel useless...I love all my family and can't be there for them. I want to swear and cry.

Hey @ButterflyWings , I'm so sorry you are feeling so low at this time with your brother being unwell and your mum quite frail.
Please know we are sitting with you. I'm hearing that things are just so tough right now, and maybe it's perfectly okay that you don't know what to say or do right now. We all experience grief in different ways. There is no right or wrong way to do it.
We are here to hold your hand.
