Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Got something that's bugging you?

Want to vent, but don't want a response?

Sometimes our minds can get stuck in circles trying to sort out an issue. This can keep you up at night, or make it hard to focus on other things. I find that putting things away, and not thinking about it temporarily can be helpful.

This is the place to get it out, and then give yourself permission to let it go.

Maybe you will need to get back to it some other time, but this is space where you can put it in a place so that you can leave it for some time and (try) not to worry about it in the mean time.

It's a thread where people don't need to reply, it purely just to get it out your worry and concerns.

If you want to show your support for someone, hit the 'like' button. In this thread, 'like' doesn't mean that you 'like' someone's issue, but you support them in letting it out.

So write down your concerns, put it in a vault, shut the door, and allow yourself to walk away from it.

Pls note: If you are reading other people's posts, please respect that they don't want a response. Show your support by 'Liking' their post.

Hey @TheVorticon

I'm glad to hear you are safe.

The point of my email is to clarify whether you are safe or not. If you let us know you were not safe, I would work with you to ensure you are not at immediate risk and are connected with appropriate support.

I understand it can feel like a check list, however it is important that we ask these questions so we understand your circumstances and can better support you to stay safe.

Truly sorry if this situation has added to your distress today. Please take care of yourself.

OK thanks @Jupiter. It's been a while since I received one of these emails so I dunno if mods reply with a "thanks for letting us know" via email now (but no one ever used to, so I'm basing this on previous experience)... But if mods still don't, I think it would improve things a little if they did (for me anyway).

But regardless, all fine today with no extra distress added.

Thanks @TheVorticon

That's really useful feedback for us to have, as I think the response will depend on the specific moderator's approach. However it is something we could have more consistency around, I hear you.

Take care of yourself.

Existing below is what it feels like. Not really living at all. A few days ago I sensed my being sort of poke up through a layer into a place that was still and peaceful. This place was life. Life were I belonged. I heard you were not created for the below.( Below is where I mostly exist] Exist in turmoil, exist in pain, no laughter. And if there was laughter it was shallow and short. I don't fit into the below place. It is just too sad. So many people hurt with struggles.

How I long to just stay in the upper place. I belong there not here.

I feel like I falling from 20,000 feet, the clouds are moist just like my eyes, the wind is fast just like my heart, the ground is coming and it's going to be hard.

Anxiety has really set in. I feel a panic attack coming on. Distractions this is my distraction trying to type and concentrate on the words.
emotional day, feelings of guilty, pain, sadness, grief, FB moments,

SH is really strong, can't breath, vision goes blurry, no one to catch me if I fall. Is it possible to feel like the darkness has gotten darker?
I am safe just my thoughts.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

My MH has taken everything from me. It had taken away my degree, all my friends most of my family, it destroyed my marriage, it has taken my job away, my freedom. What more is there to take.
I have caused people pain and that doesn't sit well with me at all. Guilt is eating me alive and I don't know what to do with that. I am afraid to speak anymore I'm afraid to reach out I'm afraid to speak about what's going on for me. It is the reason I am where I am today with no friends no family because I tried speaking the truth and reaching out. The little family I have left don't know much about what goes on for me and thats why they are still in my life. Better off staying hidden behind my mask. No one gets hurt and I get to keep what little people I have left in my life because loneliness is one of the worst and scariest feelings ever.

Meeting up with my mum and sister tomorrow .... am not looking forward to it one single bit..... I love them both but I like my distance does that make sense?? A phone call each day to my mum is enough for me to cope with and a text now and again to my sister but seeing them is so overwhelming ....I must be a bad daughter and sister. I am just a bad person if they only new would they still love me??
