Battles

Hello @AuntGlow, I did try to ring the salvation army but I couldn't get through.

I'm really overwhelmed right now, I'm struggling to self regulate, I'm safe though.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how was your day?

Hi there @MissGremlin

My day was...a lot.

I went to the gym at 5.45 am with a work colleague/friend. Spent the day at work and after work, I joined the run club (we also have a group of walkers). I really wanted to go home, but I had committed to going, so I went. It's not something I'd participate in again. It brought up some interesting emotions.

I've just got home, made a hot drink and I'm spending some time just quietly decompressing and watching Luna chew her new deer antler I brought her. I'm hungry so I should feed us both soon.

How was your day?

@NightFury that does sound like alot, but well done for giving it a go.

Having a hot drink and quietly decompressing while watching Luna sounds perfect. Casper loves goat horns but I haven't tried a deer antler yet, I might get one when I've got some money and see how he goes with it. Hope you both enjoy your dinner when you have it 😊

My day was ok, i spent it snuggled on the lounge with Casper.

I should have listened to myself and my body and not gone to run club after work. @MissGremlin

I haven't given Luna a goat horn before. She's just eaten her last deer antler down almost be too small for her to chew any more. The deer antlers aren't messy, they don't splinter or go all soft and slobbery. They're great. Luna loves to chew.

Glad you snuggled down with Casper today, Dreamy.

@NightFury i hear your sweet but at least now you can rest ❤️.

That's great that they don't splinter or go all slobbery. The goats horns are the same and last a while, casper has had his for over a month now and that's of daily chewing occasionally. I'll definitely try a deer antler for Casper 😊.

I am so sorry to hear you couldn't get through. @MissGremlin

Have you been through the 'AskIzzy' portal to see what else is available to you? 💛

How are you feeling now?

@AuntGlow i have tried to look at other options but mostly it's just about getting no interest loans but I can't afford to pay back a loan at all. I'll keep trying to get through to the salvos when I have the courage to.

I'm still feeling overwhelmed but more vulnerable and fragile. It's been a week i think now that I've had these intense thoughts of suicide and the strong urges of SH (I'm safe) and it's getting a bit scary and also very exhausting. I've been pushing myself to take Casper for a walk every morning but then once I'm home I just don't have the energy to do anything so I just lay on the lounge with Casper.

How are you going? Sorry I didn't ask before.

Sorry @Chasingsunsets, I missed this post.

I've spent enough time in hospitals last year and this year and I'd much rather avoid it if I can. Obviously I know it's an option if I do need it though.

It's hard to hear for sure but unlike the others this one is trying to help find longer term and the right support that i need. I've been through every possible service trying to get support so while I'm holding onto that hope that they can help me there's also those doubts that weigh very heavily.

I'm snuggled up in my bed with Casper and my iced coffee.

How was your day and how's your evening going?

Okay, I can hear you are doing everything you can right now. @MissGremlin 💖

This must be really overwhelming for you... do you have a sense of what you might need overall?

I am glad you have Casper and that you're walking every morning together. How have you been spending your time when you're resting? ☺️

That's okay!! I am good. It's a busy time of year, so I am hoping for a break out in nature or something similar soon. 🍃
