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

i have found masking a huge issue @Fluttershy1 @Taali but part of the issue with masking ... is that sometimes/often? it is necessary in the presence of others. I have been deliberately working on it a lot, sometimes its fine just to do what you have to do.
Good luck tomorrow... both of you

Heyyy @Appleblossom - I’m masking quite often I think, but I also have BPD so I can’t really predict my moods or always know how I’m feeling.
am safe
hope your well

its good you can be open with you psych @Fluttershy1 I always try that approach, its with others that i tend to mask. Others around have to be prepared to hold space if we are not masking. Cant depend on that, so I tread carefully.
take care o yourself... and nova

Masking is linked to the Fawn Response for me
I do IFS Therapy, so treat it as a Part Self
