It went well. Had dinner and then watched the new pirates of caribbean @outlander I try to keep busy so I don't go crazy. Oh no...what happened? Still with those bullies/family? I saw you where thinking of SH a few times as well.
It is financial accountant for the local council. Ohhhh! Hopefully the psych on Thurs will help you.
"talk" to your nan if it helps. Write letters to her as well. If it helps, post it? Though not sure where Australia post put those letters that have no addresses or stamps in.....You need to do whatever makes you feel better or help you cope. It isn't wrong at all what you doing, or odd, because your nan is someone that you confided in and was close to, so it is only natural...at least in my eyes

I'm sorry to hear that you are sitting in this space this afternoon @outlander
Has something triggered you this afternoon?
I'm happy to do what you feel you need at the moment, so if this is talking through the emotions then we can do that, if you need to safety plan we can chat over email or if there is something else that you feel would be more helpful I'm open to that as well.
As @Anony18 said, we are hear with you

Ok lets brainstorm what you can do as an alternative...can you grab some ice from the freezer and hold it in your hands until it melts?
This can be a good way of feeling the 'pain' but not actually harming yourself
