I hear what you’re saying, and past experiences of feeling dismissed would make it harder and more daunting to open up again. It’s not easy to keep trying when that’s happened before.

It also sounds like you’ve got a lot of insight into what you’re experiencing, even though it feels uncomfortable and complicated to sit with. Being able to notice that “fine line” and still choose to reach out for support shows a lot of awareness, even in the middle of how intense things feel.

I’m glad to hear the service seems okay so far, and that you’re doing your best to be open with them. That can take a lot of effort when talking about things doesn’t feel easy.

We’re here with you, and I really hope you feel a bit more supported as the conversation continues @MissGremlin 💛

@Nala2022 it started off ok but then it all went crappy 😞. At least I tried i guess.

I'm just going to sit and do my diamond art and maybe have an iced coffee soon (I'm safe).

I’m so sorry to hear the crisis service didn’t feel helpful in the way you needed today. I just want to acknowledge that you did try, and that in itself takes a lot @MissGremlin

I’m glad you’re safe right now, and it sounds like sitting with your diamond art and having an iced coffee might be a gentle way to steady things a bit.

Take things slowly and just focus on getting through the next little bit 💛

@Nala2022 it took alot. I was hopeful that maybe it would help so it's very much a let down that it didn't. I feel like I'm a failure at trying to get support for myself.

I've made an iced coffee and I'm drinking it slowly while I'm doing my diamond art. Things are just feeling so heavy right now and I'm really worn down from everything especially having to constantly fight myself (I'm safe for now).

Thankyou for being here and being so caring and supportive, it truly means alot ❤️.

I’m really sorry it’s feeling so heavy right now, especially after putting in so much effort to reach out and hoping it would help. It makes sense that it feels like a letdown when the support you were reaching for didn’t land in the way you needed. You’re not a failure by any means, it still shows you’re trying to look after yourself in a really difficult space.

I’m really glad you’re taking things gently right now with your iced coffee and diamond art, and I hope those small steady moments can give you even a little bit of relief while things feel so intense

Ofcourse, we're all here for you @MissGremlin 💮

Thankyou @Nala2022 ❤️.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how's things over there?

Hi @MissGremlin I'm laying on the floor in front of wood heater. I'm tired and the warmth is nice on my back.

How are things over there?

@NightFury that sounds nice and cozy. I can relate to being tired.

This are pretty tough and intense over here. There's things that go on (that i can't talk about on here) that are really stressful and cause me to become very overwhelmed. I'm safe for now, just finishing off a cold Milo and I might sit down for 5 minutes. My head is pounding so I just took more pain relief.

Hello lovelies! Happy Sunday. 🫶 @MissGremlin @NightFury

I am also tired and have a headache!! Must be the new moon? 👀
