How to challenge your negative thoughts

Hey @BlueBay those are some hard topics and feelings that you spoke to your psych about today, no wonder today has felt rough. Good on you for still getting to your doctors appointment after that as well.

Is there something that you can do tonight to show yourself a bit of extra care after the rough day you've had? Even if it's something small, just some type of kindness you can show yourself for showing up today

It’s hard @Ru-bee because there is so much anger in me.

I really want to rip into things. Break things. Hurt myself.

That anger is very valid @BlueBay Are there ways to express that in a safe way? Like ripping up pieces of paper, punching a pillow or cushion, yelling into a cushion or out loud if your neighbours don't mind

I’ve stuffed up badly

it’s my fault

I’ve been taking the wrong dose of my meds

no wonder my mood is bad

my headaches are daily

my BP is very high

I quickly emailed my psych and luckily my dr was still at clinic.

I am so stupid

@AuntGlow

hey @BlueBay

oh my, i'm glad you picked up on the wrong dosage!! emailing your supports sounded like the right move, hopefully they're able to provide you support soon.

if you aren't able to get a response, and would like further support, there's also these lines you can ring to get more info:

• Medicines Line | Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing
• Trusted Health Advice | healthdirect

take care, we're here for you 💙

wanted to let you know that i've edited out the tablet dosage (to meet our 'limit detailed descriptions' Guidelines) - hope that's okay!

I’m going to bed

I’m crying

nothing works out right for me

don’t feel good

feel crap

how stupid can I be ?

My zap headaches I hate

@rav3n @Ru-bee @AuntGlow @Jynx @Shaz51

It sounds like you both spend time connecting, but that you'd like it to be more frequent/intentional, is that right? @BlueBay 🥰

I can't even imagine how painful it would be to not have your mum's support and nurturing... you absolutely deserve to be heard and held. I am so sorry she hasn't been able to do this for you. I know it may not land right now, but please know her incapacity to meet you with love doesn't mean that you are unloveable. 💛

I understand why things are feeling so big for you right now and I can imagine soothing would go a long way. What is something you could do for yourself tonight to create some inner nurturing?

I replied @AuntGlow but it somehow disappeared.

im not feeling good at the moment

hey @BlueBay i'm just about to send you a lil check-in email, keep an eye out for it 💙

hey @BlueBay just wanted to check-in to see how you're going today? were you able to chat to your psych?

thinking of you 💙
