Sounds like things are really heavy tonight @MissGremlin and even with taking the steps to look after yourself, things still feel pretty rough. I'm glad you are reaching out where possible, including here on the forums. Distraction and/or self-expression can certainly be a bulwark against the darkness hey 💜

@Jynx it can be, but it's not really enough tonight. I'm trying so hard but I'm dissociating so I'm not able to focus on anything. I've finished a section of diamond art, though I can't recall doing it, i was just on autopilot. I've packed it up and I'm going to try making some stars. I keep getting a sharp pain through one of the nerves to a wisdom tooth cos it's exposed, it's an excruciating pain that makes my whole body jolt. I'm safe for now and the crisis service has only just connected, so I'll see how that goes.

Dissociation is so hard @MissGremlin I'm sorry to hear it's been difficult to stay present.

I hope the crisis service ended up being helpful, even if it just helped pass some time. Look after your wonderful self as best you can and I hope you get some rest tonight.

@Jynx I'm still chatting with the crisis service. They have been understanding but are trying to encourage me to call an ambulance cos of how I'm feeling and my thoughts. I've told them I will call if I need to but for the moment I don't and that I'm just trying to rest. I'm safe for now and I've packed everything up to lay down and snuggle with Casper.

Thankyou, I'm hoping i can get some sleep tonight. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning which I've made a telehealth one cos I don't want to go in there.

Morning @NightFury my sweet, checking in with you today ❤️

Morning @MissGremlin

I feel anxious today: my belly is all stirred up. I'm working from home today and I have a GP appointment later.

How are things over there?

@NightFury that anxious feeling is horrible especially when it stirs your belly up. I'm glad you're working from home and I hope your appointment goes ok.

Things for me are pretty tough at the moment, lots of big thoughts and feelings plus physical pain. I have a doctors appointment this morning, thankfully telehealth as I don't want to go back or until I have to later today. I didn't sleep much last night and woke up at 4.30am and couldn't go back to sleep. I'm safe for now and I'm about to do my dishes then sit on the lounge and maybe do some diamond art while I snuggle with Casper.

@MissGremlin how did your appointment go?

@NightFury it was ok but very heavy. It hurts to feel dismissed though when I tell him things.

How's things over there?
