Battles

Hi @MissGremlin, I’m really sorry you’ve had such a difficult night, especially with having a seizure. That sounds incredibly overwhelming and exhausting.

When both your physical and mental health are being impacted at the same time, it can feel really hard to cope with.

I’m glad you’ve been able to make yourself a coffee and that you’re currently waiting to speak with a crisis service. I hope they’re able to support you and help bring things down a bit for you.

We’re here with you as well 💛

Thank you for trusting us enough to share something that feels so heavy and difficult to sit with. It sounds really distressing and confusing to be carrying all of those feelings and memories while also trying so hard to stay safe in the present.

I can understand why taking medication would bring up a lot emotionally for you when it’s connected to such painful experiences and memories. That sounds incredibly hard to hold

What you’re describing sounds exhausting and really frightening to sit with on your own, and I’m glad you were able to put it into words here instead of holding it all inside.

I’m also glad to hear you’re still safe and waiting to get through to the crisis service. While you’re waiting, just keep focusing on getting through one moment at a time, even if that’s simply sitting with Casper, sipping your coffee, or slowing your breathing a little.

We’re here with you @MissGremlin 💛

@Nala2022 it's not something I've really talked about with anyone cos I get scared to be judged for it. I told me gp once but he was so dismissive of it and that really hurt and made me feel so ashamed.

I've been sitting here with Casper and I'm doing my diamond art. The crisis service has just connected so I'll see how it goes.

Thankyou again ❤️.

I’m so sorry that happened when you tried to open up to your GP, especially when it already felt so vulnerable and difficult to talk about. I can understand why that would leave you feeling hurt and hesitant to share it again.

It sounds like you’re doing some really grounding things right now too by sitting with Casper and focusing on your diamond art while you wait and talk with the crisis service.

I hope the conversation with them feels supportive and that you feel heard @MissGremlin 💛

@Nala2022 it makes it really hard to open up when you have experiences like that. But it's also something I know i need support with cos it's a fine line between sitting with it and pushing the limits to get those feelings in other ways (I'm safe).

The service seems to be ok so far, it's hard to talk about things but I try to be open and honest so they know what's happening.

@MissGremlin Sending lots of hugs 🤗🤗
I’m hearing you about the dark thoughts and fully emphasis. Only thing that’s keeping me going each day and on this planet are my cats. (I’m safe)

Ive posted onto thread My Silent Battles, haven’t tagged anyone.

Thankyou @Flutterbug9 sweetheart ❤️. I'll go and have a read. Know that I'm always here for you sweet ❤️
