Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me
Thanks @Former-Member
My thing is I don't want to sleep because if I do I know nightmares will come. And even if didn't want to sleep, I struggle to fall asleep for many different reasons.

Hi @Former-Member,
Just want you to know I’m thinking of you and hope you can get through this. I know how you feel especially when you need to talk to someone and Lifeline is the only place for help and you are right that they are soooo scripted and can’t really help.
I find that shocking your system is one way to start your new journey to peace and happiness. This could be done a number of ways but my favourite is to change your environment. To force yourself outside to sunshine and fresh air can sometimes really help.
Activating and occupying your mind is very powerful too. To do something and anything as ling as you are doing. Even if you go to your kitchen cupboards and clean out the utensil draw. This act of doing releases the natural feel good chemicals in your brain.
I don’t know if this any help. I mainly want you to know I feel for you and wish I could help you. Xx

Hi @ideaslady
You have helped. To know that there are other people who understand what you are going through and who you can relate to is comforting.
Some of the things you have written, I do try. I do go outside to try and change my environment, even sometimes at 3am in the morning! I used to clean alot to try and distract myself, but lately have struggled to do this. It might be time to try again.
I like using chat services because I find if I ring, I always seem to get stuck for the right words and normally don't say what I need to. It's just a shame SCBS has such a long wait time, but I know I am not the only one who needs this service.
Thanks again

@Zoe7
Thank you for your care for me Zoe, I know it must be extremely taxing on your emotions. I am sorry for not being more thoughtful of you. I can handle these N/T as I have been having them for many years, I wanted to tell someone but I had no one that I trusted to tell?
I love you Zoe, please feel free to talk to me anytime. I am strong mentally. I wanted to help you, then I ended up wanting you to help me? Funny how that happened, hey?
((((((((Zoe)))))))
Love Always!

@outlander @Sans911
I am logging off for a bit. I need to try and gain some control back before I lose it completely and do something I will regret. I still am losing the war against this persistent unwanted memory. If I don’t get back on or you are both off line, I hope you get some sleep tonight.
@Faith-and-Hope as always thank for being there
love to you all 💜💜💜
