Something’s not right

What am I supposed to do

What am I supposed to do

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm sick of going through this, of hurting, of the constant thoughts and urges, being such a let down and a burden on everyone, of these panic attacks.

I'm sorry to everyone I've bothered and let down. I'm sorry that I'm always so negative and depressed. I'm sorry that no matter how hard i try to be positive, the negative just always creeps in. But most of all I'm just sorry that I'm me and I'm sorry that I'm here.

I'm sorry 😞

Re: What am I supposed to do

@Ru-bee I'm trying to colour but I'm shaking so much at the moment. I don't have it in me to have a shower right now as if I try to stand up I'm almost passing out.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@Former-Member i'm here for you 💙

i read that you're trying to colour but feeling shaky. this might be a weird thing to suggest but have you tried shaking out the nerves? sometimes i've just wiggled my arms around for a few minutes to help get rid of the restless energy, does that help you at all?

@Former-Member I'm sorry I've been distracted this afternoon. Can I sit with you too.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@rav3n thankyou.

I have tried that but it didn't help me. I'm just sick of feeling so on edge and panicky constantly.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@The-red-centaur you are ok, you have had things to do. But I'd really like that.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@Former-Member glad you gave it try anyways, i know its not for everyone. do you have something squishy to hug? maybe a pillow or teddy bear? i actually heard something about a 30 sec hug helping the nervous system recently, not sure if it'll work but if you're up to giving it a go, let me know how it goes.

also i'm thinking of making a thread where we all work on a craft project together each week (or fortnight/month depending on how hard it it) and share our progress, was inspired by the crafts you showed us last time - do you think its something you'd like to engage with?

Re: What am I supposed to do

@rav3n I gave it a go but it hasn't done anything.

That sounds like a great idea and I'd love to be involved.

Re: What am I supposed to do

@rav3n I'm totally up for a craft club. I need inspiration sometimes. I just bought a beginner resin kit. I'm keen to try it out (but also scared lol)

@Former-Member will random convo help, or something more directed to what's going on. Sometimes just random dribble convos help my adhd, autist brain to regulate better. Pick a topic or make a new thread and I'll happily join in.
