@RiverSeal. Tough really is an understatement right now.

I don't have anyone I can talk to which is why I'm reaching out here to hopefully chat to people.

Thanks for the numbers, I am not comfortable reaching out to crisis services.

Hey @MissGremlin, if you would like to, you can introduce yourself here https://saneforums.org/t5/Welcome-and-getting-started/Welcome-Introduce-yourself-here/m-p/1149480.

Thanks for that @RiverSeal.

Hello @MissGremlin and welcome to the forums.

This is a great place to find support and company when things are really tough.
Sometimes the immediate environment is also not good like when it’s a really hot day and you don’t have air conditioning (that’s my current situation), that can make things seem worse.

Do you have any go to coping strategies?

I like to do physical things, but some people like colouring, diamond art or Lego. I like to do word puzzles as do some others.

You can say as little or as much as you like on here.

I hope you find support and connection on here.

@MissGremlin

Yep. Sh*tsh*w.

The dude upstairs seems to have a wicked sense of humour. Sorry sir, but it’s gotta be said.

Good to see you.

Do you know how many gremlins? 24?

@Appleblossom it's been one hell of an afternoon to say the least.

One very twisted sense of humour up there 😂.

Hi @Till23. No welcome needed 😂.

Not alot really needs to be said about my story that's not already known.

Connection and support is something I need and I hope to continue to have that 😊.

Phew @MissGremlin @it is you

I was worried.

only got a fold out futon.

has it cooled down enough?

@Appleblossom situation is resolved and that's all I can say about it.

Subject needs to be left alone now please.
