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.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away

Hey there @BlueBay , sorry about my late reply.

Firstly, congratulations on moving house, and so happy for your daughter getting engaged on Christmas!

I also just wanted to normalise how truely okay it is to feel this way that you are feeling. There is no need to apologise, it is totally okay to be feeling like this. Have you been looking after yourself and having some time to fill your cup? Or do you know what may have triggered this to happen?

I am here to ride this wave out with you,

Looking forward to connecting again,

Amber22

Today, I want to give up and just disappear from this life.

I never thought I would outlive my h and it seems so wrong that he went first.

on this day I lost my h of 34 years and every year when this day comes around it is never any easier. I want to join him.

I was ignored, betrayed, silenced. No different now.

I live a life of suffering, rejected, not believed.

No life at all.

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

why is it always my responsibility to make sure things are running properly. my entire life seems to revolve around when i dont have to have so many family things on.
cant take shifts because it doesnt line up with the family. get in trouble for making purchases and needing to work for it because it doesnt suit the family.

Just run, jump and fly…

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

I had a coffee with an old friend. Told her about some of my journey. Specifically treatment related to my mental health. The conversation went around a bit and I told her in very broad terms how I’d benefitted from the tools I’d been given and some insight. I did not give her any details other than that. She disclosed some thoughts about herself, but then launched at me for “telling” or “suggesting” she needed help. Went on a tirade for around 30mins. Went backwards and forwards..saying she needed help then in the next breath not. I felt like she’d just stomped all over me by the end of it. We “hugged” when we parted, but I’d pretty much decided I wouldn’t see her any more by then. Lesson to everyone - decisions to disclose information such as this (which happens to be incredibly personal) should not be taken lightly. It’s entirely possible that it may not be safe.

Ok, venting just seems like procrastinating on some effective coping techniques that would remind me of a bigger picture.. but ..

Or maybe it is.. still..

I know the importance of self care but I am obsessed with the meaning of some of what happens at stressful times - the thoughts and emotions - why those ones in particular , like is it a cue on existence.. so far it’s a signal that things are stressful or unhappy

I have a decent idea of a way forward (like plans to do EmDR) but between temptations, insecurities and hurt, it’s a bit muddled up right now

The tears won't stop

The thoughts won't stop

Opening that can of worms just makes it worse
