@AuntGlow my day is all messed up, my life is all messed up. I'm heart broken and this isn't my safe space anymore 💔. Sit with me, chat to me, if you can of course.

How are you going?

I am so sorry to hear you are feeling this way... I know things are a lot for you right now. It can be incredibly disarming to have our safe space shaken. But know that even when this happens, safety can exist again. For example, maybe we can explore the things that still help you to feel safe here? Can you list 3 things that you unwaveringly know to be comforting and grounding for you? @MissGremlin

Also, I am well, thank you. I moved my body today (gently), and I am feeling very grateful for my ability to move at the moment. ☺️

@AuntGlow that's the thing I'm not sure this will ever feel safe again here and that scares me cos i can't lose this space. Ummm 3 things, having the peer support workers and the regular people I chat to here, being able to share my quotes here, i can't think of another.

Well done for moving your body today 😊. I managed to have a shower.

Hey @MissGremlin I can't remember whether I've touched base with you today.

So...doing that now!

@MissGremlin I’m really sorry again I should’ve not asked you that or commented in the first place. I didn’t realise how it would be seen as that before it got deleted by the mods. 😞

Hi @NightFury, sorry I didn't even touch base with you today. Things are so messed up and I'm having to lay low on the forums.

How are you doing that?

@MissGremlin no need to apologise.

I've had moments of okay, moments of not so okay today and this afternoon I feel myself crashing. I'm laying on the floor in front of the wood heater, just trying to get warm. I've only been home from work for about half an hour.

I can leave you be if you want to lay low? I was just thinking of you and wanted to check in.

@Blackcloud its completely fine sweet. Don't stress about it at all please, it's honestly ok.

How are you going sweet?

@NightFury that crashing feeling is horrible. Laying on the floor trying to get warm sounds like a nice way to just relax though. I only got an hour of sleep last night so I'm not great both physically and mentally.

No it's ok, last thing I want is to be left alone really. Thankyou for checking in, it really means so much ❤️

I know it must be scary, but you won't lose this space. 💛 @MissGremlin

Those 3 things are really positive. How can we hold onto them and nurture those connections/experiences this week?

Thank you! And well done for having a shower! What are you doing now? ☺️
