Twisted -self care
Every morning I drive east into the sun.
At traffic lights I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands.
This morning I realised that this is self care,
Very rare for me.
I need to do more of this....

I hear you @Catcakes. I so often feel so much the same so when someone does or says something nice to me, it will often make me cry because I'm not used to much of people being nice to me.
I've turned myself inside out and round about for others, probably in much the same way you do, as do many of us here, and done it for years, until I stopped. When I stopped, I found myself alone. No one was interested in me when I wasn't happy, bubbly, smiley, be everyone's shoulder to cry on and support person. They melted away the minute I needed help and support.
I like you @Catcakes. I miss you when you're not here and often find myself wondering how things are for you. Not being able to get the support you'd like at the time you'd like to builds up an internal worry sort of thing, and seems perhaps more than it is, like when the systems (like chat and phone) are not available when you try to get through. I've not tried, so can't say how well it might work for me.
Some flower-hearts for you Catcakes.

@Catcakes helpline chat there now. Catcakes can call/chat HC. PR no allowed. PR too broken. PR not matter. Catcakes matter.
