My week's been alright @Cuddlebear, thank you for asking

I'm really sorry things have continued to feel so hard for you. It sounds like you've been putting so much energy into simply getting through each day, and I know that's incredibly exhausting.

I'm really glad you've kept reaching out here. We're here for you, and I hope today is a little gentler💛

@Nala2022 Thank you. I’m glad you’ve had a good week.

Yes it’s hard. It’s incredibly exhausting. I’m the same today. But it’s worse and I’m trying to get through as best I can. I can’t put into words how much this affects me. I’m safe. But I really need support.

I’m so sorry things are feeling even harder today @Cuddlebear. It really sounds exhausting, and I can hear how much you're struggling

Right now, just doing your best is enough. I'm really glad you let us know you're safe.

Do you feel up to reaching out to a support service today, or is there someone you trust that you could connect with? You don't have to carry this all on your own💛

@Nala2022 Im too much in nervous system shutdown to contact something like Lifeline. Mental health triage won’t help they never do. I’m also legally blind and deaf and it makes it hard. When you need real humans that are safe and understanding just to sit with you. That’s what I need the most. Lots of complex trauma flashbacks make me feel the world isnt safe. I’m safe I’m saying that the complex ptsd combines with panic and anxiety and makes me feel humans are not safe because of the trauma I’ve experienced.

I can hear how much your past experiences are affecting how safe the world feels for you right now, and that sounds incredibly hard to carry @Cuddlebear

It also makes sense that reaching out can feel impossible when you're in that shutdown state, especially with everything else you're managing. I'm really glad you let us know you're safe and that you reached out here instead of sitting with it all on your own

I hope you can continue to be gentle with yourself today. We're here with you 💛
