Oh, this sounds lovely! I am really glad to hear you are finding things that feel soothing for you. @NightFury

I hear you with uncertainty, I know it's a lot to sit with... what are three things that feel are accessible for you right now? They can be really simple like, your breath.

What did you get from your call with them? 💛

No, I 100% get this. Hmm... can you think of any safe ways to experience less emotional activity? For example, some mindless reality TV? @MissGremlin

@AuntGlow there's one thing I can't stand, reality TV. I've honestly tried everything possible today and i just can't lessen the way I feel, not even a tiny bit. It's super frustrating.

@AuntGlow she talked to me about how using the strategies we already have in place can be difficult when we're anxious. She also talked to me about how I can challenge my thoughts by looking at them abd deciding whether they're true or whether they're intrusive thoughts. We didn't run through any...she just mentioned it. I'm kind of confused as to whether it was helpful or not.

Three things that are accessible...

1. My breath (but you gave me that one)

2. My dog to help ground me and make me feel loved.

3. Sinking into the feeling of the warm fire and the warm mug in my hands.

Same @MissGremlin @I’ve been doing all the possible self care strategies that I can possibly do for today but even right now I’m still not feeling and doing that great 😞

hope I can get a good night sleep tonight….

@Blackcloud it's such a tough place to be when nothing feels like it's helping.

Sending you big hugs sweet, I hope you get a good night's rest ❤️

I hope so too @MissGremlin

You know, that makes sense. It is a guilty pleasure of mine. 😂 @MissGremlin

Gah, that must be frustrating, I would be feeling overwhelmed too...

Because I finish soon, I am wondering what we can do for the next 10 minutes that could be helpful? 💛

@AuntGlow it's ok i can see you are busy helping others. I'll chat to you another time.

Hope you have a good night.

I will always do my best to get to all of you @MissGremlin. Can you confirm that you are able to stay safe tonight and practice something from your safety plan - like colouring or listening to music?
