The Weekly Friday Feast

@NikNik - wow, that sounds like a beautiful holiday - enjoy!

What tip did I give you?!

Really lovely to see you in good cheer @Former-Member. I hope your back heals quickly so you can keep up all the good stuff you've been doing💜😊

Not to wear PJs to yoga @Former-Member

Thank you @Former-Member, it is really tough the person is 24 and has had a failed attemp on their life, which destroyed their voice box, so they can't speak literally. it is difficult to find services where you don't need to speak.

they keep reliving a vehicle accident where their partner passed away, she is blaming herself for her girlfriends death. i have suggested suvivors guilt program, but it has not worked, i have tried CBT, DBT, ECT, muscle relaxation techniques, breathing excercises, focus on positive things, but none of them has worked, she is SH so badly, i just don't know how to help her.

Sorry for bringing the tone down, i am thinking their has to be something to help.

i am sorry i was unable to continue to attend tonight, i just can't find the time. sorry.

hugs to all, good night, thank you all for the words of encouragement.

@Jacques maybe you could ring the sane helpline to ask what services would be available to someone who can't speak & then if you have some concrete information she might be more receptive?

Tip: I tried positive thinking when my mental ill health first became debilitating - it is actually counterproductive.

She may be suffering from PTSD?

@NikNik - yeah, it isn't the best look - best to put on those yoga tights & crop top or sports bra! (top on top unless you are super body confident!) I think not having reception will be awesome - although I get scared if I don't have credit for a phone call - a break from social media & internet is always good though

Namaste,

Anna
