Hello lovely, I am catching up on notifications from throughout the week, but just came across your message - how are you feeling? What do you think is bringing up emotions and tears tonight? Here with you. @NightFury 💛

@NightFury I'm glad you're home sweet.

Here with you and sending you lots of love and hugs sweetheart ❤️

Can we take it over to my thread? @AuntGlow please?

@AuntGlow I've spoken to my counsellor about the issues between mother and me. Haven't been able to talk to her about the recent event as my next appointment is still a while away.

I am curious to know what she has shared and how she has supported you? @MissGremlin

(If that feels okay, no pressure) 🫶

When is your next appointment?

And how has therapy been overall? I would love to hear more!

@AuntGlow she just listens, there's not really any therapy as she's not the right person to support me, she's only a family counsellor.

I'm sorry I can't say that I've been able to get help even despite having a counsellor, it's just a space where I get heard.

I can't remember exactly when my next appointment is but it's not until next week sometime i think or maybe even the week after.

I understand what you mean. @MissGremlin Hmm, what have you personally taken away from your sessions? For example, sometimes even having someone listen can afford us little insights along the way. 🥰

Do you have an intention for your next session?

You are doing an amazing job of reaching out, you should be so proud of yourself. I hope she is able to hold a safe container for you to talk about mum and what happened earlier today too. I will be here to check-in, and I am happy to help with your post-counselling reflections as well. 💛

@AuntGlow it helps to just have someone to connect with, she might not be able to do anything but at least she cares. I don't have any intentions for the next session as it's not guaranteed, her manager is trying to cut our sessions completely.

Thankyou sweet, I'm trying to keep reaching out but I am finding it harder to do. Yesterday I worked up the courage to reach out to the mental health team but the person said that my problems aren't solvable and that there's nothing they can do. It's had a really big impact on me hearing that.

Hi @MissGremlin, I’m really sorry for the delayed reply.

That sounds incredibly overwhelming. It makes a lot of sense that you can feel things building up when you’re not able to get the quiet you need.

You were doing the right things by trying to regulate and focus on Casper. I’m really glad you’ve reached out to a crisis service as well. Any updates on that? How are you feeling today?

Thank you for letting me know you’re safe. We’re here with you, keep reaching out as much as you need 🤗

Hello @Nala2022, it's completely ok ☺️.

I've had a few bad experiences over the past couple of days with the crisis service I've reached out to. It makes it hard to find the courage to reach out when you're not met with kindness and understanding.

Today i have alot of anxiety, I'm about to head out so just trying to take some deep breaths and hope everything goes ok.

Thankyou for your support as always and i hope your day is off to a good start ❤️
