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?

Hey @Eden1919

Sorry to read that things are crappy for you tonight. You sound over-exhausted with that lack of sleep!

Can you have a warm shower or bath and wrap yourself up, watch TV or listen to something until you fall asleep? Have you taken any medication for sleeping as prescribed?

Try to let go and let sleep come. Keep talking to your friends here if you want to.

I am about to take a 30min break but I'll check in with you after that.

Kind regards,

Frog

Hi @Eden1919 I am home and am trying to relax with my fur babies. I am so glad to be home but can't seem to settle myself. I know I did a good job to even go on the holiday (and there were some really good moments) but it really was too much for me. I haven't caught up with how you have been going but wanted to check in with you and let you know I am thinking of you

Do you want to tell me what is going on for you @Eden1919 - I have missed a lot over the last few days so I am happy to listen if you would like to feel me in.
