Re: Anyone feel like chatting?

That’s me tonight @Ant7. I was getting worked up because I can sleep. I have some things I really want to achieve tomorrow (just errands) but I know if I don’t sleep I’ll be horrible. The stress at night causes me to itch all over my body and then the only way to turn it off is to take phenergan but it wipes me out the next day. How’s that for a whinge! Your turn 😊

@Teej I get worried that nobody likes me. I always feel like the odd one out cause I normally am. I set myself impossible goals then get down when I cannot achieve them. I also blame myself for my kids having issues. How is that lol

Re: Anyone feel like chatting?

There's a lot of me too in that post @Ant7. My kids issues have sorted themselves out mostly now. Two sought help with psychologists which helped a lot. They carry a lot of my baggage though.

I do set the bar way too high and always fall hard too. It's a hard one to break. A few weeks ago I was at my lowest point with all the negative talk and self harmed in a way that could have been lethal had I not had medical intervention. For the next week I wished I wasn't here. Now I'm just trying to live in each moment and not get caught up in my head with negative stuff but it's really hard. I put my kids through hell and not for the first time. I owe it to them to hang around but sometimes it gets really hard. Do you see a psychologist or psychiatrist?

@Teej In February it all got too much and it was just luck that turned me around. I have been doing a lot better since then just the last few weeks have been a bit bad but not as bad as then. I don’t see anyone

Do you think it would help if you did see someone? It's hard to do it alone. I'm sorry you went through that in February. It's good you are noticing it now. It gives you a chance to deal with it better. @Ant7

@Teej it would probably be good but it is not an option. Do you see anyone?

@Ant7 I do. I have a therapist (clinical social worker) a psychiatrist and links with community mental health. It helps to have this support.

Im not sure if you are into self help stuff but here's a link to some good self help resources. It might help to look through some of the modules. I know it's not the same as talking stuff out face to face.
