Thankyou @Jynx, very much needed right now ❤️

Ugh it's a really rough night. It's 3.29am and I haven't slept. I'm scared to sleep cos I don't want to have nightmares and panic attacks but I'm scared to stay awake cos then I have to sit with my thoughts which are really loud (I'm safe). I'm trying to get through to a crisis service but it's unavailable at the moment so I'm doing my best to keep myself distracted by watching random videos on my phone while I'm giving Casper pats.

@MissGremlin, sorry to hear you've had such a rough night, how are you feeling this morning?

@liminalzest things feel really heavy today and my thoughts are so overpowering (I'm safe). I feel very fragile and emotional.

@MissGremlin thanks for letting us know you're safe, you're absolutely doing the right thing by reaching out and sharing. If you're feeling overwhelmed, I encourage you to reach out to crisis services if you feel like it's too much today. Remember to be gentle with yourself as much as possible and continue to lean on the community as well.

@liminalzest i reached out to a crisis service earlier this morning. I just had a shower to try to help feel better but it didn't really do anything. I'm going to lay on my lounge, put a movie on and have snuggles with my puppy. Thankyou for your support ❤️.

How are you today, lovely? @MissGremlin 🥰

@AuntGlow things are really rough today, I've had little sleep and things feel so very heavy. I just finished chatting to a crisis service cos the thoughts were getting too much (I'm safe), now I'm going to try to close my eyes for a while. I keep thinking how I'm supposed to get through the day, taking it one tiny, baby step at a time is ok right?

Anyway I'm curled up on my lounge with lots of tears, Casper cuddles and a movie on.

How are you going sweet?

Aww @MissGremlin!! Sorry to hear you had a rough night. Glad to hear you're reaching out - both here and to crisis services.

So ok, in fact it's ideal!!

What movie are you watching?

@Jynx it's proving to be a real struggle to get through the day 😞. I'm safe and trying so hard to keep it that way, just weighing up what my options are with trying to get support.

I've put shrek on and evan almighty now I've got the nanny on.

I've not really posted on here today cos I'm worried to say something wrong, I don't want to get in trouble.
