Hello @LostAngel,

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We appreciate your courage and vulnerability so much.

I honestly can't imagine how dysregulating this all must feel for you... it sounds like all of the things you need to feel grounded and secure are feeling unstable and that is so much for the mind and body to have to go through. It's easy to feel like we have failed in these moments, but life is so much harder than we realise. The fact you are reaching out and asking for help shows so much capacity and strength. So, I am wondering, out of everything you have shared, what do you need the most support with right now? Shall we start there and brainstorm some ways to manage what you are going through?

We are all here for you, okay? We're just a message away. ☺️💛

Hey @LostAngel ,

Of course we care. We've been alongside you your journey for a while now and even though there's bumps along the way, there is movement.

We are here for you and hope you find what's best for you at this time.

I'm sorry to hear you were feeling so unwell. I hope you've been able to rehydrate and look after yourself.

Thinking of you.

Oh no!! I do this too - I drink a lot of coffee and forget to drink water, but it's SO important for our health to be hydrated. Maybe we can keep each other accountable?

And not a drama queen at all, you've got so much going on!

How are you taking care of yourself today? @LostAngel

Thanks @tyme and @AuntGlow Im Feeling better Physically but Mentally today Ive been a bit down but also a bit Angry, Agitated, Ive Taken a bit of time today to try to relax my mind by watching movies, The start of The Day I literally had to get myself up and out of bed as I had the feeling of just wanting to stay in bed all day and not move from there but eventually I got up and did The Bare Minimum Had Tea instead of Coffee, its been annoying to have to remember to drink fluids properly but I think Today Ive been somewhat better at that ,I did Bare Minimin of Tidying the House ,Thankfully though My Brother Appears to be getting slightly better which is good ,Ive just been On The moody side but watching movies has helped a little ,Im making sure to eat and drink regulary although I basically skipped a shower for today ,Ill Shower Tomorow, Sometimes it can be that the small stuff daily tasks can be hard to do,but I guess over the length of the day Ive gradually done little steps ,Im definately staying off coffee for just a little while, Thanks for The Support

Good on you for taking the steps to recognise what you need and doing what you can to feel better. If movies does the trick, why not? Go for it!

Do you have anything planned for the rest of the week that you can look forward to @LostAngel ?
