Thank you Everyone

Hi guys

i created a new thread so not to trigger anyone and not to override your post @Zoe7

Firstly thank you for all your support over today and last night and being concerned. i did ring a hotline today (suicideline). im sure they are sick of hearing from me by now.

it has been a massive night and day starting with a trigger post and things just kept pileing up one thing after another.

the forums were just too hard to be on for the past day and i just needed to distance myself for abit.

I thought i had supports off the forum besides my gp and psych but i havent. my family isnt supporting me now and the two friends that i did have have split the scene. (they were friends before i came into the pciture so kinda expected). like a chain reaction.

@Zoe7 - my 'guardian angel' thank you for all your hugs and kind words and thinking im resilient.. you are such a beautiful, caring person and i appreciate it

@Former-Member - i was stupid enough not to call the helplines last night but i pretty much forced myself to ring them today. thank you for sticking around last night. greatly appreciated.

@Faith-and-Hope - i really appreciate you help. Zoe was right about you. i did get in contact with a helpline just not straight away like i should have.

@Former-Member- thank you for taking the time to help me out today. i really appreciate it.

I cant remember the rest or find if anyone else said anything so i hope i tagged everyone....

i really appreciate all your help. im still not back to whether id like to be so i might not be around the forums as much as id like to but ill be around is anyone needs me esp all of you, so dont hesitate to tag me in things if you need me ok ?

i really cant express how much i really appreciate you guys being there for me. i could feel all your 'hugs' coming through the screen as i was reading through the comments.

i didnt want to come on here earlier in case i came across another trigger, even unintentionally so i thought it would be safer to stay distant.

i also didnt want to come on here and set anyones triggers off, nor upset anyone and i didnt want to offend anyone through the day for any reason.

i wont tell you everything that happened today as itll be triggering for many of you if not all depending on sensitivity to certain things. but i can tell you ther were many things that were happening and none of them were good (i thought i was going to end up in hospital last night and today up until about 5pm) ive just started to clam down now. i hope this doesnt set anyones triggers off at all. please let me knoe if it does and ill edit so i leave that part out ok? i wont be offended, not in the slightest

i think part of the reason i pulled through today was because of you guys. i could 'feel' your support even the minor ones. so THANK YOU!!!!

I honestly cant express that enough.

Re: Thank you Everyone

Maybe set up distracting activities for yourself @Former-Member and simply take your mind off it. Learn to put boundaries on where you allow your mind to wander to if you can, and the best way to do that is to fill it with something else .... like music, jigsaw puzzles, a comedy show, a movie you have watched before so there are no surprises in it and you know it has gentle content, adult colouring in books, etc

@Former-Member that sounds painful - I broke a piece of bone off my ankle a few years ago and that was painful enough. No wonder you are in constant pain. Feel for you @Former-Member

Re: Thank you Everyone

@Faith-and-Hope ive been trying to. i was on zoe's post for a while but just struggling with the nerves. its really big for me and its terrifying the s$%t out of me

In response to: Re: Thank you Everyone

Re: Thank you Everyone

You know what @Former-Member it would be terrifying the sh*t out om me too - it's not something that we even need to pretend isn't scary.

In response to: Re: Thank you Everyone

Re: Thank you Everyone

@Former-Member Its terrible that you had to go through all the doubt about it ... as well

which has only made it worse ...

Have faith in your capability to adapt and deal with things. You seem very responsible.

Re: Thank you Everyone

tomorrow i have an appointment to know whether my foot is going to be permanently damaged and how much nerve damage ther is and whether surgury is an option/ if its even possible now. if its permanaently damaged then i could be living with a weaker calf muscle then the other and constant nerve pain as well as the injury pain and swelling itself

i had a horse riding accident about 2 years ago and my gp didnt treat it properly. so i went to a podiatrist the other week and have been having scans and ultrasounds and i have a tear in one of my main tendons and two of my main ligamants (the ones that connect bone to bone) are pretty much torn off from each side of the bone. and ive only just found out

just to catch you up @Faith-and-Hope

In response to: Re: Thank you Everyone

Re: Thank you Everyone

im so terrified and my mother doesnt support me either she just thinks im whinging too much which isnt helping either. @Zoe7

@Appleblossom i think im responsible though after last night and today im doubting myself extremley but i guess i have to put that behind me and move forward

and 'park it up' @Faith-and-Hope would say

In response to: Re: Thank you Everyone

Re: Thank you Everyone

Responsible people are allowed to panic sometimes @Former-Member

In response to: Re: Thank you Everyone

Re: Thank you Everyone

I know it is no substitute but you are supported here and there are alot of people here that live with physical pain @Former-Member

...and you are responsible - you look after everyone else and yourself. Yes today was a little 'glitch' but you have come through that and now we tackle the next step - baby steps remember @Former-Member and @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom and myself are here with you
