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?

Hi @Eden1919 and @Sans911... just wanted to check-in with you both ...it seems like it was a really hard night for you @Eden1919 and @Sans911 was a great support. That support can take a lot out of you too @Sans911 ...that is why I wanted to see how you are both doing this morning.

Thinking of you both... strength, courage, belief...

Re: Safety

@Zoe7, @Eden1919 - you are so sweet to check on us. I am still feeling low, and having a dose of humility today because I feel I 'reacted before I acted' not only on this forum but online in other places as well. It's a stupid borderline trait I'm trying to change, but it's recognising it first before I open my mouth. So I'm trying to be more mindful & I thoughtful before I 'speak'.

Sometimes too, just supporting from the sidelines is enough when there are no words that can bring peace or comfort.

I know you had a really difficult day yesterday Zoe, how are you doing this morning?

@Eden1919 - how are you this morning? I understand you may not be better, but I hope you have eaten and are taking care of yourself the best way you can.

@Sans911 We all sometimes react before we act - so don't beat yourself up about that

I am getting by - still very shakey and unwell. I have slept on and off all morning and that has certainly help block out some of the thoughts.

How are you doing this afternoon?

@Eden1919 please check in when you can - I am thinking of you buddy

Re: Safety

@Eden1919 I am simply working on getting through today minute by minute and hour by hour - maybe that is all you can expect of today also.

It is really great that you saw a friend this morning as you have done something to get yourself 'outside of your head' for a while - WTG buddy.

Keep taking the day as it comes - nothing more we can ask of ourselves when we are not travelling so well.

Re: Safety

Hi buddy. What has happened to make it a not very very good night? I know you are worried about tomorrow - can you put some music on to drown out the noise or will that add to it further @Eden1919
