And yes, definitely agree with the book.. So articulate!

You've got so much strength @Eden1919. Things are so tough right now but you're still fighting. You're doing a great job.

If things get too hard, we have a plan B. Remember that. You're doing amazing.

Have a go at the shower, and we can re-evaluate from there. Small steps

Re: Safety

You have been getting through this for days now @Eden1919 and as much as you feel so sad and scared now you have got through the last few days. I have seen your strength in doing that and I believe in you buddy. Have your shower, see how you feel and I will be around for a bit longer if you need.

Keep up the 'fight' Eden - it is a horrible place to be in - I know how debilitaing fear is - but you can get through it - and I am here with you

Re: Safety

ok i will try the shower but i am scared cause plan B has not had good outcomes when i have previously tried either that or i end up in the hospital and i cant afford to go there right now

In response to: Re: Safety

Re: Safety

I don't know what plan B is @Eden1919 but you can use the fact that you don't want to go into hospital as motivation to find the strength to get through tonight - I do believe you can do this as I have seen it over and over again over the past week - you have a strength within that keeps you going and that is an amazing attribute to have even when you don't feel it

Re: Safety

well i am going to try and shower now but i will come back on once i am done if anyone is still around anyway

In response to: Re: Safety

Re: Safety

I don't think I am going anywhere just yet @Eden1919 - I have my own fears to keep at bay tonight - so I should be around
