@Former-Member it's quite ok. I chatted to Zoe7 and F&H for a while, they were sharing music. I got a bit worried about but figured you were working things out or had dropped of to sleep. Sometimes it's important for our self care to stay away from the forums. It's why I strongly encouraged you to ring a helpline in the first place. Because where you were going, it was difficult for me to help you. I glad they helped, and yes, sometimes we hear the same thing from them over & over, but it's what we need to hear at the time, and most importantly, feel heard and validated.
It's a horrible place where you're at, but you made it through last night, so well done. It's an achievement to survive some days. That's something I learnt yesterday. I choose to not to SH after overreacting, but boy did I have a fight on my hands to stop the urge. It took more than 6hours, 2 phone calls, and a face to face chat. But I came home not needing to. I'm proud of myself, because everything in wanted to punish myself so badly.
So I'm ok today, I'm looking forward to this mental health conference. I have a little time left to chat before I need to get up and ready. And then I'll be back later tonight. I hope your psychiatrist app is OK. Be honest with them ok. You need & deserve the help and support.

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Sans911you did help me last night more than i think you realised.
I am glad you gt the help you deserved yesterday and was able to fight the SH, shows how much strength and determination you have within yourself. You should be extremly proud of yourself and take those big and small wins.
I am actually looking forward to the psychiartrist app. today, i think because i have had to wait so long for it. I know I am not going to get all the answers but hopefully he can help a bit today, especially with the sleep side of things, and yes i will be honest with him.
I hope your conference goes well today and you are able to get something out of it for youself ❤💙

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Sans911 Good morning Sans911! How are you this morning? Yes I am a very optimistic person ... well I try to be ... it is hard sometimes though isn't it ... I tend to be optimistic when either I am manic (then I am so mad nothing gets me down) or when my medication has kicked in then I am in dreamy lala land

@BunniekinsI hope you are optimistic today because of your meds. I dont want a mad greenpea!! Maybe i need to find a photo of that!!
it is going to be 30 degrees here today so need to have shower and shave my legs!! I can't be wearing shorts with hairy legs!!

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Former-Member 30 degrees! wow! not that hot here I hope ... this green pea does not like the heat at all.
You know NellBell when I was really depressed I couldn't hardly shower let alone shave my legs everything was such an effort. I grew a good growth of hair on my pale, white and veiny legs ... luckly only I ever saw them because they were not a pretty sight but then I couldn't care either.
The only reason I pluck my post menopausal facial hair is because I enjoy gouging them out .. it is very satisfying. Just wait until you are my age and you will see ... nothing better.... anyways I am getting distracted now I shave my legs but I cover them up because I have hit the age where shorts are a no no 😛

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Bunniekinsnot proud to say that I havent showered since Monday morning so really need too. I understand that everything was an effort part.
I wrote myself a list this morning of what I need to get done today. It has only 3 things on it but if I can get them done, then at least I have accompished something today.
They joys of facial hair for us women!!! mmm a greenpea wearing shorts, another image I must try and find!!

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
@Former-Member green pea wearing shorts is not a pretty sight ...
Yes I remember my depression well ... I would just sleep all day and all night ... went on for months ... showering was an effort ... forget about shaving ... socializing was non existant ... thing is I didn't realize I had depression and hid it well from those around me. Hmmm
Hairy pea pod
