Life and trauma

@Former-Member

Honestly, I think it's a lot more than luck. We can all point to bits of luck in our lives but luck doesn't get you very far and it's not something you can rely on. To still be here and fighting like you are requires a lot more than luck! I know you really struggle to see it, but it's there. Of course, it doesn't mean things should be easier or that anyone should say "Oh, they have a lot of strength, they'll be fine!". Having strength sometimes just means we're still here and fighting some very difficult battles. Strength should be associated with 'fighting' rather than 'winning'. When we're losing, and just need to fight to even stay afloat... that's strength.

@MJG017 i can't even think of words to reply right now. I'm sorry.

@Former-Member

No need to be sorry. I do keep throwing a lot of words at you at the worst times. Take your time, and replt when you feel uo to it. Luna will keep me occupied in the mean time 🙂

@MJG017 I'm really in trouble today

@Former-Member

I'm sorry to hear that. Are none of the usual distractions like colouring working today? I need to go in a few minutes as I have a zoom meeting for an hour, but i'll check in after it finishes. Stay safe Gremlin.

@MJG017 nope nothing is working and I'm struggling to stay in control. Hope your zoom meeting goes well. [edited by moderator] 😞

hey @Former-Member i'm sorry to hear that you're struggling at the moment. are you able to stay safe at the moment?

please don't hesitate to reach out to LL, SCBS or beyond blue.

@rav3n i don't know anymore. I'm trying to but everything is so overwhelming.

do you reckon you can give one of those crisis lines a call? i'm happy to sit with you while you ring them @Former-Member

@rav3n i don't have it in me to ring and chatting is too hard to get across how I'm feeling and what's going on right now. I don't know what to do right now.
