RE: Darkness surrounds me

@outlanderi think I did it today.

I probably shouldn;t have driven home, I can't actually remembering driving home at all, but I just wanted to get home

its pretty scary @Former-Member thats why you have to be careful in those states of mind.

if you didnt dissocaite it could jsut have been you were in such a panic all you could think about was getting home but didnt think how to get there

not sure @outlander but I got home in one piece so thats ok. Are u ok now, or at least a little bit better?

@outlander@Former-Member@Phoenix_Rising@CheerBear@Sans911 Just popping by to say good night and hope you all sleep well tonight!!xx

Good night @Bunniekins I hope you stay aslepp tonight

good night @Bunniekins sleep well

@Former-Member yes you sure are and thats important! im ok i guess. just flitting around the forums helping a few members as a distraction but my nausea is getting bad again. man i hate eating atm!

how are you going?

@outlanderbummer to the nausea, hopefully those tablets the gp gave you can help

I'm not that good. The shaking has stopped at least. The images in my head tonight are so overpowering at the moment. I havent even thought yet how I will get through tonight. I am just doing hour by hour and concentrating on the now.

Can you try to set up a coping box for yourself @Former-Member ? I know some people keep a hand-cream in theirs .... it's a self care activity to apply hand-cream, but the smell of it can help to ground you through your senses too ....

And maybe a CD or DVD ?

Some chocolate or a tea-bag and biscuit ?

Adult colouring book and beautiful pencils ?

Sometimes just having the box there, knowing that it's about self care can help.

thats a good idea @Faith-and-Hope

what about that suggestion @Former-Member ?

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

I have a coping box already that my psycholgist made me set up. Got photos, my favourite food, my ipod, some perfume, some essential oils, a cuddly toy, body wash, body spray and a few other things in there.

I have been using it this afternoon a fair bit.
