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?

@Eden1919- When you are feeling this way, what do you normally to help take care of yourself? Do you have an action/management plan to go to?

Re: Safety

Hi @Eden1919 sorry to hear that those pulls are strong tonight. I think i've read before that you have a safety plan? might be a good idea to have a look and see if anything on there will help. And cuddle those fur babies 🙂 I often feel like i don't know what to do, starting somthing is often the hardest. even if its something boring like housework... folding washing etc, can be good and help just to get myself moving.

@Sans911 I have a safety plan but it is not working very well tonight i am just trying to manage until a few days when i see my caseworker but it is getting really hard normally nothing helps that is the problem not when i feel like this anyway it is hard to explain.

@Former-Member I will try and cuddle them as much as i can but nothing in my plan seems to be helping tonight which is annoying.

Re: Safety

does your plan include a next step if its not working? someone to contact or talk with someone at home with you?
Glad you will cuddle them, my dog wants to play tonight and i really dont want to! he missed his walk today oops.

Re: Safety

hopefully watching tv is a good distraction for you right now 🙂
I've just put my two to bed and about to put some tv on, i think the new orange is the new black is out so might watch that. what are you watching? @Eden1919

Re: Safety

@Former-Member right now i am watching the office but i dont watch that much but it isnt working very well i am still feeling awful.

Re: Safety

thats kind of ok, sometimes its just about doing enough, to make that little bit of enough of a difference to get through 🙂 maybe there's something else that might make a difference later on, a cup of tea or milo. colouring in, im not sure...
