hey there @Autumn_Leaf,
i'm so sorry to hear how overwhelming everything is right now, and i can imagine that losing all your supports makes it feel even harder. the community is always here for you, you're not alone 💗
take a few deep breaths in and out. if you'd like to work through some regulation techniques, i'd encourage you to check out the Wind-down Wednesdays - SANE Forums thread. you're welcome to work on the exercises and post your answers here/there too. there's an exercise on the first page that might be nice to start with.
you can always reach out to crisis services such as:
you deserve to be heard and supported. 💙
thanks for letting us know you're safe. if you're up for a bit of a distraction chat: what lego are you working on now?

Hi @Autumn_Leaf ,
Hope today has been a little less intense for you?
I know what it can feel like to be "over it" and have really intrusive thoughts that you can't get out of your mind. Not a nice situation to be in.
Would love to hear what lego you are making. 🙂
I enjoy making things, and even just sorting lego into colours sometimes.
