that's absolutely awful @MissGremlin you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness, i'm so sorry you're experiencing abuse.

are you able to stay safe at the moment? how do you feel about giving 1800RESPECT a ring? sending you gentle hugs 💙

Thanks @MJG017, not even possible to remind myself that I'm safe at the moment.

@rav3n they haven't been helpful in the past as I've tried everything they've suggested already.

Not feeling particularly safe right now but I guess you get that hey.

Wish I had the words to make things better for you @MissGremlin 🥺

🫂🫂🫂

i hear that, the strategies can be a hit or miss depending on the person and situation. it's great that you've given them a go in the past @MissGremlin

as you know we're not a counselling service so if you do feel unsafe, please don't hesitate to call Lifeline, SCBS or 000. or let us know if you need us to call them for you.

in the mean time, we're still here. we still care, and we're still rooting for you. 💙

are you able to walk around for a bit and take a breather? even if it's just in your backyard/room, etc. and as you go for a walk, starting with A (going to Z), try and find an object around you that starts with that letter (to help keep your thoughts distracted).

i can join in if that helps, for A i've got... Air lol, B... Books, C... Clips - wanna share your A, B, C? (no pressure ofc!!)

@rav3n ok let's try this.

A- ant

B- branch

C- chair

@Jynx needing one of those really big squishy hugs, the type that makes all the pain go away, the type that for that moment nothing else matters.

love how different our answer are already hehe @MissGremlin

D - dinosaur (one of those lil sticky toys you throw on walls/ceilings)

E - Eucalyptus oil

F - Fan

The Supreme, Sublime Squish @MissGremlin coming right up!!

🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

Thanks @Jynx ❤️. Truly feeling very broken right now 😢

E- electrical wire
