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

@Nala2022 - I’m in a mood today because I didn’t want to get up, I just wanted to sleep, I just wanna curl up in a ball and do nothing, it just feels all to overwhelming atm.
I just wanna be in my own bed, doing my crafts etc. listening to music. Cuddling Perry, playing with nova. Just doing things that I know help me.
nala sounds quite content where she is lol.
am safe

Aww @Fluttershy1 I get that. When everything feels overwhelming, wanting to retreat into the things that feel safe and comforting makes so much sense
That sounds like such a gentle and therapeutic day. I hope you get the chance to have some of those moments soon 🫶
I can hear her snoring now too, she's curled up on the couch on her blanket... well, it was my comfort throw blanket, but apparently it’s hers now 😂
Thank you for letting us know you’re safe

I know right 😂 @Fluttershy1, she thinks everything is hers! Cats are so funny like that
A nap sounds like a really good idea when you get home. Hopefully you can get some rest and let your body recharge
I'm sorry you're having to fight through flashbacks today. That sounds really exhausting, especially when you're already tired and have a headache
Is there anything that helps you feel a little more grounded when they happen, even just a small thing?

@Nala2022 - been doing the 5,4,3,2,1 grounding technique, doesn’t help I’m so tired though.
my neighbours house is cold aswell. Which doesn’t help lol

It’s good that you’re still giving it a go @Fluttershy1, even if it doesn’t feel like it’s helping much right now, you’re still trying to support yourself through a really difficult moment
I’m sorry you’re feeling so cold too, that definitely wouldn’t help when you’re already exhausted. Maybe if you can, try something comforting like a warm drink, wrapping up in a blanket, or holding something warm to help your body feel a little safer
Hopefully you can get somewhere warm and comfortable soon 🫶

@Nala2022 - I’m looking forward to going home, it’s so draining. I’m over it now. Just want my own space I’m overstimulated

I hope you can go home very soon @Fluttershy1
Just take it easy, moment by moment. Then you can relax in your own space, and cuddle up with Nova
