not coping

Ah, OK...that's for the gastroenterologist? @outlander

I'm so sorry to hear that @outlander . Being sleep deprived makes everything so much worse. You should try and have a rest this afternoon if it is possible. I will be thinking of you today hun

There is always something hun and no doubt that it is hard, tougher then what most people have to go through in their lives. And your physical health isn't making it any easier for you.

If you don't want to talk about it on here or it is too hard to do, I undertand hun but it seems like it is affecting you greatly @outlander It might be best for you to contact the counsellor, they might have some different ideas on how you can cope with this and what you can do to help yourself. We all need and deserve that support hun and you are no different, if anything you deserve that support more.

I completly understand @outlander Intimacy with a history of sa is one of the hardest things to talk about. I even struggle talking to my professionals about it.

I know this might not be the right platform to talk about those things and probably a more private conversation somewhere would be better. I understand too that talking on the phone is hard, I find chat much easier to talk and get what I need out.

It really is a hard and difficult topic hun, one that needs a lot of understanding and sensitivity. Opening up does make us vulnerable too. But sometimes opening up about these things can take a load of our shoulders. I will say if we are going to talk/chat about complicated issue with someone, then we need to make sure we have measures in place to cope if we become distressed.

Lots of hugs hun 💜

@outlander you didn't trigger me at all sweetheart.
