Life and trauma

@Former-Member

Would closing your eyes, but with the lights on help? Just being able to see even with close eyes that there is light may help a little. Or does too much stuff enter your mind when you close your eyes?

@MJG017 light is always on for me. I'm out for the night, right now it's all just too much for me. I'm sorry. I hope you have a good night and can get some sleep.

@Former-Member

I hope you can get some sleep tonight as well. There's no need to be sorry, just keep doing what you feel you need to do to keep yourself safe and as calm as you can manage.

@MJG017 calm doesn't even exist for me at the moment. I was so tired before I went to bed and now I'm wide awake and filled with thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Hi @Former-Member. I just want to check in and see if you managed to get any rest last night. I hope you finally managed to get some sleep.

Hi @MJG017 I've had 4 hours sleep since 8pm Wednesday. Thanks for checking in.

@Former-Member

Oh dear. I hope you manage to get more sleep really soon. Having no sleep can really make things worse, if that even seems possible.

@Oaktree oh it's possible and it's exactly the way it's headed.

@Former-Member I'm sorry the sleep still isnt coming for you. It must be so hard to even think straight at this point.

Does Christmas coming up give you a chance to get away from anything, or will it just bring more issues for you?

@MJG017 Christmas is always a very bad time for me. I definitely can't think straight and it's affecting my entire body and mind.
