Something’s not right

taking a break

taking a break

Hi Everyone

Ive come to the decision that i may need to take a break from the forums or at least just stick to my safe threads such as this one and my garden thread.

ive read quite a few confronting things on here, it not the people, its the stories of what theyve been though, its set off quite a few things for me and just reminds me of what a tragic world we live in.

i know there is great support on here but i dont think i can handle it at the moment. im at the stage where i think a hospital might be better for me to go to. i know mant of you have been or go to the there still so no matter how embarrassed i am about being young and having to go to get thigns sorted out, i know ive got plenty of butterflies flying around me.

if only i had supports off this forum but i think i need a break. i dont think i can help many people as much as id love to and i feel extremely bad for not being able to help but i guess i just need to limit abit more of what im doing.

as most of you know uve been through a fair bit and still going through it all and alot of things im dealing with on my own.

i dont know what to do anymore, it feel likes i cant trust anyone anymore, ive lost hope for quite alot of things including my mental health gettitng better and even at this point questioning it so much that i dont even know if its real now. i think id rather just hide away.

i havent been able to leave the house today and even said no to a ride on my horse and to me thats alarms bells ringing. so i think i just need to take a break and although everyone on here id the best and the only support i have so, its a probaby a stupid mvoe to make but i thing i just need to refresh myself and force myself to get up and do something and start trying to get my life straightened out abit.

starting with either going to hospital or getting in to see a therapist abit more to help me out abit more.

this isnt goodbye, i may still see you on here on my safe threads but i wont be around as much, while im not here ill be focussing on getting abit more help, working on my garden and my studies.

i hope you all understand

Re: taking a break

so ive just listed it as a plan- not sure of a set out but as long as i have guidelines its ok..?

1. Take a step back- reduce the amount of time i spend on here. no more forums after a certain time so say 1030-11pm. spend up to one hour in the morning on here before the day starts but no logging back on until chores and study is done first. unless in need of abit of advice such as when heading to the psychologist.

2. if others are offering advice then take a step back unless asked for opinon as too many helpers can become overwhelming

3. stick to just a few threads for now

4. learn to read threads and comments more thoroughly. if i dont understand the comment then ask or leave it until later until in a better headspace or have abetter understanding of what the person is trying to say.

5. if i cant offer advice then maybe dont comment on the thread

6. sometimes simple is best- just a like or write name wit a love heart or jsut something really simple

7. give people more space

8. less tagging of people

Re: taking a break

No .... and now I oils like to see you relax a bit, and just enjoy being here within the capacity you have outlined for yourself.

I am glad @Cheer ear is helping you with holiday activity ideas for the kids .... she sounds like a very crafty lady .... 😊 .... and that should help take the pressure down a bit in your household, which will be helpful for everybody.

Well done you .... ❣

Re: taking a break

@Former-Member I like what you have outlined for yourself here. For lots of reasons. (remember I'm an analyser (INTP) so forgive me for the process I use 🙂 )

  • It shows you are identifying problems
  • That you are thinking about how you can fix them
  • You made an exceellent plan that makes sense and is doable.

    Only step left is to implement it - Good for you!

    Proud of you! Big time. *hug*
  • AND.. guess what? I don't even need to use the ant stance. Wooohooo 🙂
