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

Will you be home soon so you can snuggle up with Nova? That sounds like it might be just what you need right now

oh it can if cough so hard BP in lungs goes up then cuts off oxygen to brain and get faint @Fluttershy1
"Tussive syncope, or cough syncope, is a temporary loss of consciousness triggered by a violent or prolonged coughing fit. It typically lasts just a few seconds, with consciousness restored quickly. It is primarily caused by a rapid increase in chest pressure that reduces blood flow back to the heart, leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure and temporary lack of blood flow to the brain.Common triggers and underlying factors include:Respiratory conditions: Asthma, COPD, or respiratory infections like pertussis.Mechanical factors: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or, in rare cases, a large hiatal hernia putting pressure on the heart."

That's good you got what you needed @Fluttershy1
I hope things go well with your support worker this afternoon. It sounds like you're doing the right thing by taking it easy and trying to stay calm before they arrive
I hope the rest of your day is as gentle as possible
