Life and trauma

@rav3n night night. Thanks for the chats and I hope you have a good night ❤️

Yeah @Former-Member I know we've discussed options before.

I don't know if you have anyone you can maybe couch surf with.

Have you tried Homeless Connect https://www.homelessconnectsa.org/

Yeah I miss my dog who passed away and I've alrady started grieving my remaining dog because he only has a couple of months left, if that, I reckon.

@Till23 no i don't have anyone at all and yes I've tried them with no success.

It's so hard having to say goodbye to them. Losing my one last year when she was only 3 has really taken it's toll. The other 3 at least had long lives but it still hurts like hell. Just have to try to remember all the good times you shared together ❤️

Oh rats @Former-Member

Fortunately I took lots of photos of my dogs, so I have lots of photos to enhance my memory.

How are you feeling now? Did you manage to eat today?

@Till23 i have lots of photos of my dogs aswell. They might not be with me but I still see them every day 😊.

I'm overwhelmed and now that the quiet of the night is setting in my thoughts are starting to take over. I had a couple of biscuits to eat today so that's better than nothing.

@Former-Member you are worrying me with this not eating much. Do you know why it's happening like can't afford, don't feel hungry etc

I sometimes find the evenings and nights difficult I feel the emptiness more and there's less ability for distractions.

Are you feeling tired at all or are you too wound up?

@Till23 i haven't had much of an appetite lately but also can't afford anything.

Yeah nights are always harder, I'm doing my colouring and watching my TV show but it's just not enough to quieten the thoughts.

Not tired at all despite a serious lack of sleep. Mind is in overdrive at the moment.

Oh no @Former-Member do you have a community kitchen anywhere near you. A place where you can get something to eat for free.

I volunteer in one but of course it's not in SA

Not having enough to eat is not helping your situation

I'm glad you are still engaging in your colouring and watching TV as distractions.

I'm going to have to log off as I am really tired.

Chat to you tomorrow

I hope you are able to wind down and get some good sleep.

@Till23 I'll be ok so don't worry.

I hope you have a good night, chat to you another time 😊.

@Former-Member

Are you ok hun?

I have been concerned about you today.
