Feeling lost and confused, just wanna feel alright I want things to be the way they used to be. I keep getting let down by ndis support workers aswell and it’s breaking me. I’ve been to ER twice this week and I was trying so hard not to go.
changes are just triggering all together. It’s just hard. But still going with my coping skills.
am safe

It’s really good to see you too @Cuddlebear. I’m really sorry you’re having such a hard time with the flashbacks, panic and those heavy feelings of worthlessness. It sounds exhausting having those waves keep coming over you
And please don’t apologise or feel like you’re a burden. You’re not a burden for reaching out or needing some connection and support. You deserve to be heard and have people who can listen and be there for you, especially when things feel this heavy. I’m glad you’ve let us know you’re safe 💛

@Taali I’m glad you have some music on. What are you listening to? Sadly music which I normally love makes me unwell at the moment. I don’t know why our bodies do these strange things. I am glad you are here. It’s very kind thwt yku care about someone you’ve never met face to face. It really is a hard day. I’m doing my very best. I’m just sitting in bed. It’s hard to move.

@Fluttershy1 currently dealing with my heart rate being 164bpm, finding it very annoying (I'm safe). I have a doctors appointment at 1.40pm today.

Hi lovely 😊
Likewise, it’s good to see you too @Taali. I’m doing okay today, a bit tired but travelling along well.
I’m glad you’re feeling calm and comfortable at the moment 💛
Haha, I hope you still feel that way after cleaning the bathroom! 😂 I have to clean mine too, so I’ll be right there with you lol

@MissGremlin - I know how that feels, very annoying, makes you feel terrible and not want to do anything

@Nala2022 Sometimes naming These feelings after holding them in brings some relief especially when the person understands. I’ve had a lot of rejection when I’ve spoken about how I feel to people I thought cared. I am safe. It’s just a really heavy burden right now. I get a lot of physical sensations from my mental illness which is hard. I miss my old self where I was able to do things and enjoy them. It’s very isolating like this but I find the forums help because there’s real people here who I care ablut.

@Fluttershy1 I feel like I've run a marathon and yet I've only just gotten out of bed and got dressed.

You're more than welcome @Cuddlebear I'm cheating with the music and listening to the sp****fy weekly mix
Just frightened the real furry Taali by singing (or screeching) to "Oh Micky" poor little girl had to hide.

@Fluttershy1 You did well stripping your bed. One small bit at a time. I hear you that’s it’s hard. You have us here to lean on.
@Taali Oh my your diing the bathroom. That will be so nice and clean once you are done. Do you do it in small tasks?

Of course @Fluttershy1
I can understand that. When we're feeling really down or overwhelmed, it can be so easy for those thoughts about ourselves to become louder and harder to push away. It doesn't mean they're true, though. I'm glad you've let us know you're safe 💛
