What do you do when you arent feeling safe but you dont want to go to the hospital and helplines arent working? Also what do you do when distractions and all of that stuff isnt working either?

Wow @Eden1919 that's a long time not to have slept. That really has an effect on us when that happens. This is the first time in many months I've stayed up. Something stirred me up earlier and I'm still wide awake from it. Do you lie down and close your eyes and just breath sometimes to at least get some rest?

Having a shower sounds like a calming thing to do @Eden1919

I'm going to lie down for a while @Eden1919 but will check in with you from time to time to see if you're back here. Take care.

Hi @Eden1919@eth

I am back with you as I have been on a break.

I can understand your anxiety about going into hospital Eden, sounds like you have had a bit of experience there. Your assessment by the CATT may not lead to that.

The thing is that it doesn't help you to spend the whole night worrying. If you are too wired to sleep, try to wrap up warm and watch TV or something else that can be relaxing and distracting.

Who are G and S? Are they actual people or voices that talk to you? Sounds pretty stressful.
