Re: not coping

I won't intrude at all, but can keep you company if that would help.

Re: not coping

@outlander thank you for your kind welcome. I'm sorry you've had 2 panic attacks today already, oh gosh. 😞 I'm sorry about the bad thoughts being so strong too. 😞

With panic attacks, do you use grounding techniques? I am sitting with you on this thread till your friends arrive...

Re: not coping

Is there a safe place where you can explode safely? @outlander

Re: not coping

I don't know you all that well @NatureLover but id like to get to know you and forming a friendship with you too

I have tried some grounding things today and trying to keep myself busy too but honestly just feel smothered by everything happening around me

Re: not coping

no 😞 @NatureLover I don't really think I could explode though. it just sits there and site there but comes out in other ways like being angry over nothing or irritated for being spoken to (like right now I can barely stand to be in the same room as my pop)

So sorry to hear...it sounds traumatic. Well done for your efforts. What would you like to happen for your wellbeing, in an ideal world?

Thank you for your kind words, I'd like that, but only if you felt OK about it. @outlander The most important thing is you being OK in yourself right now.
