Battles

@MissGremlin I think I can kinda see what the crisis operator was going for - but they phrased it in a way that had the opposite result. As in what I think they meant was something like... "Can you remind yourself that what you're experiencing isn't real, and even if it FEELS scary, you are actually okay?"

but what came out was "Have you tried just getting over it? And not being effected at all by this sensory nightmare of overwhelm? Have you tried just not having a mental health issue?"

Grrrr uncool. And regardless of intention, that would have felt soooo invalidating. I'm sorry hun.

@Jynx i didn't hold it against them for saying it oddly enough. Even i don't think it was meant that way. Just brain thinks too much into things and reacts in a way that really isn't necessary.

Doesn't help that I'm sensitive and vulnerable at the moment. I did something very silly and now I'm even more annoyed with myself. I'm really not feeling good, I can't keep my eyes open and I keep dozing off.

@MissGremlin sending you gentle hugs. despite what your brain says, you deserve to be treated kindly💙

is there something nice you can do for yourself? maybe make your fav drink or roll up in your fav blanket?

i gotta hop off but i hope you rest up, take care and one more reminder - you are SO deserving and worthy of care and love!!

But then you came here to chat it through rather than just churning it over in brain!! Good stuff @MissGremlin we love to see it. I hope you're super gentle with yourself tonight hun, and I will catch you next time. 🫂😊

Thanks to you both for everything @Jynx @rav3n.

Bye guys ❤️

Thanks for always making me feel cared for.

Hello @Jynx.

Allo allo! How are you hun?

@Jynx Ok, well not really but you know it's just want people want to hear.

@MissGremlin do they? And why do they get what they want but you don't?

Rhetorical questions lol... mostly.

I'm off to webinar now hun, so won't be able to reply too much - sending many hugs and chat to you soon 💜

@Jynx I'm really heartbroken by what I've just been told right now 😞.
