Hello @tyme

Ugh that's so hard @MissGremlin - especially with little-to-no notice and then copping abuse about you wanting your safe space to yourself.

Makes sense, sometimes saying the thing out loud makes it all feel very real. I'm glad that the MH team are aware what's going on, hopefully they will keep checking in on you 🤞💜

@Jynx i really didn't need them here today when I was already struggling so much but it seems to my land agent my feelings don't matter.

That's exactly it, saying it out loud made it feel very real and it was just too much. The mental health team don't care, it's not even a team just one person that's trying to pass me off to another service that won't help me. I desperately need proper support but I can't get it, those feelings of rejection are hitting hard along with everything else (I'm safe).

I'm watching true blood and trying to do my diamond art but my head is all over the place.

Mm it sucks that 'mental health days' still don't seem widely acceptable for our needs to be met hey @MissGremlin ... maybe next time tell them you're sick and contagious? 😂

Mm really rough when support needs are high but support access is low. Maybe a peer-led warmline could be a good option? I imagine they'd be understanding if you said something like 'almost nonverbal. Need company.' or some such. Lifeline chat is always there too I guess. I'm glad you do have this space where you don't need to put on a brave face, and you know that we will accept you whether you're chirpy and social, or feeling low and super crappy.

Stretch break? Shake it out to some music? Can help to shake things up if you're finding it hard to focus on your current distraction 💜

@Jynx it's funny you say that cos even when i have been sick they still came here, just saying that's ok we don't need to come inside. They are honestly just rude and have no consideration for anyone.

Calling anyone just feels too much, even just the thought of hearing someone's voice is enough to make me cringe at the moment. Without naming the service but let's just say that I had an incredibly bad experience yesterday that left me worse off, so right now that's not even an option. I'm glad I have this space here even if I'm pretty much hiding away in my thread cos too many notifications gets overwhelming.

I've decided that I'm going to finish this little section of my diamond art then I'm going to lay down and see if I can sleep. My friend and I have decided that we both need an early night and the hope that tomorrow is a better day for both of us.

Hiding away is so valid @MissGremlin take all the time you need - you don't owe anyone here your time or energy, and even though we love having you around, you are never obliged to be present if all you have capacity for is keeping yourself afloat 💜

I hope you can get some solid sleep hun, sending snoozley vibes and soothing hugs

@Jynx I'm still trying to stay connected cos I know if I don't then things will get worse. Just at times I can only manage small talk or just sharing in my space here what's going on for me. Keeping myself afloat is such a huge task at the moment, I feel like there's something trying to pull me under and no matter how hard i try to free myself from it, it's pull gets stronger (I'm safe).

Thankyou sweet, I hope you have a good night and thankyou for chatting to me ❤️. Casper says night night too ❤️

Hey @MissGremlin

Ive been reading through and understand how hard it is for you right now. I wish something would turn and make things a little easier.

Im thinking of you. Also no need to reply I also get the no capacity.

Checking in on you this morning @MissGremlin
