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?

Re: Safety

You can hold on until your appointment tomorrow @Eden1919. Find Dog and/or Bunny and hold them close - feel their heart beat against you and concentrate on breathing with them. I have faith in you - you can do this buddy - strength, courage, belief

Hi @Zoe7 how are you? I am trying really hard but i feel different than usual i dont know how to say it but i just feel like this sense of urgency around this issue i am seeing someone tomorrow and the day after but i dont know how to hold on anymore it is like all the things that were holding me in place have just slipped away and i am floating towards it.

Distract, distract, distract @Eden1919 You need to do things that will shift your focus from how you are feeling right now to things that over-ride those feelings. I do know this is easier said than done - so what can you do that will help to shift your focus - a walk, music, drawing - maybe some pastel art work?

Re: Safety

If watching tv isn't taking your mind off things @Eden1919 then try listening to your favourite music - feel the beat and concentrate solely on breathing with it. You can do this buddy. Don't think about your appointment tomorrow - today is about getting through each minute and each hour - minute by minute, hour by hour

Re: Safety

Close your eyes (if you can) @Eden1919 and try the music. I will be around for a bit longer before my GP appointment.
