@MissGremlin you could use a spoiler tag? Whatever your question I'm sure we can help you find an answer 😉

@NightFury me too sweet. It's the daily routine that I have to do that really keeps me going. There's no getting out of it so I just do what I need to do and then before I know it the days over. It's the night times when everything is done and it's quiet that things start to hit me.

@NightFury , I know you have a lot on your plate, but do you think you just need to STOP, and have one day to yourself to reset? I find this helps me sometimes.

Or at least half a day?

@Jynx it's more that I need help with trying to do something. It's something I've struggled with doing and I've tried with many different people, both professionals and previous friends. I've been offered help here to do it but I've kind of shut it down every time cos I just don't know where to even start. I easily get overwhelmed when I'm asked about it but at the moment it's at a point where i really need it.

@tyme I don't think I need to stop, I know I need to stop. Something within me is crying out for me to put it all down.

I just...I'm scared too.

Aw hun @NightFury ,

I hear that as a desperate cry for help. There is only so much a person can take.

Do you feel you need to go to emergency?

Or do you think you can wait to make an appointment with your dr. It sounds like you're holding on by the skin of your teeth.

It's OK to ask for help. It's OK to seek help. But no one can do it for you. This is something for you to decide.

If you feel you need to email us directly, please do so at team@saneforums.org

@tyme no, no to emergency...

I have a GP appointment on Tuesday.

Don't do that...forget I said anything. I am okay and I'm safe.

Are you able to write down a few things that come to your mind about what you need to share with your GP? If you haven't already, perhaps a double appointment might be needed so you don't feel rushed @NightFury ?

HUGS @NightFury

We are not judging you or telling you what to do. We want to be here with you to support you. We will support you with whatever you decide to do or not to do.

@tyme I'm hoping to take some time over the weekend to do just that. I have booked a double appointment. I'm onto it.

Slow, please go slow.

The idea of emergency...just hit me so hard with fear. I...just...need to do this my own way.

@MissGremlin no matter what hun the community is here to support you. Whatever you are struggling with, you may take your time and share/ask the community about it whenever you're ready.

If it feels too big and overwhelming, is there a way you can start very small? Like just let us know what the topic is, or what the most pressing or biggest part of it is?

Take the time you need. I know you are feeling pressured, that it feels pressing... but if it's really big, it's okay to move through the process super slowly 🤞
