Re: Dark thoughts scaring me.

Thank you @Former-Member.

I was feeling really frightened of my thoughts earlier today.

Thank you to everyone who talked to me today, I needed someone and you all came to talk to me.. your words are soothing and helpful.

I hate nights because trying to sleep is hard and when I wake up it means another tomorrow of fighting my thoughts,

I will leave you now, I hope tomorrow is peaceful for you all.🦋

Re: Dark thoughts scaring me.

I get that with the housework but for a different reason @Tigga321 ..... my hubby threw our home and the housekeeping into complete chaos repeatedly, and after so many disruptions, all systems and the family’s willingness to be involved and take responsibility has gone to pieces. We have been battling mi issues that are still only part-diagnosed, and I just don’t have the strength to keep rebuilding this sandcastle ..... it wasn’t spiteful like your situation was, but the same result in terms of the house itself.

Now I just walk through the house tidying as I go, and what gets done gets done ..... I can’t afford to care too much about it because with the next tide it’s just going to wash away again.

Anyway, if you want to tweak the way you keep house a little bit so you’re doing things a different way, let me know, cos I have collected a lot of tips.

Goodnight @Tigga321 ..... good to be talking to you .... 🌷

@Faith-and-Hope.

I am sorry about the problems you have with your hubby and housework, I had no choice but I did / do like a clean home. I'm ashamed of mine, it's so untidy, I really do want to clean it up, but I'm afraid that I will do something that reminds of what happened, even sitting on the lounge looking at the dust etc then thinking about getting up to do it, is enough to drop my tears. I am so scared that this will be the life I will have to live from now on. , it's really very daunting to think it might be,

Hi @Tigga321 🌷

This is where it is important, after acknowledging thoughts like that (because you are allowed to have them, and they are real fears) to try to distract yourself with other things a bit.

“Worst case scenario” is the worst thing that can happen ...... and “best case scenario” is the best thing that can happen ..... and usually the outcomes for anything we try to do fall somewhere on the middle rather than at either extreme end.

After you have encountered something as extreme as you have, you can begin to fear that everything in life will be that extreme, and that you can’t get beyond it. That is a perfectly natural reaction to have, but it rarely ever does happen ....... so gently, gently begin to tell yourself that, like a bit of a mantra ....... “worst case scenario rarely ever happens ..... it’s likely to be something better than that ......” and then have a little go at something, a try.

One way I have mopped the floors is to take an old towel and wipe the bathroom floor after a shower, so the towel is damp ...... then use my feet to “walk” the damp towel across the messiest part of the floor. It’s not a proper mopping, but it’s better than it was ...... and that is a good goal for you at the moment ....... just to leave something, somewhere in the house, a little better than it was.

Is that do-able sometimes do you think ?

Sick of them. Now another night I won't sleep. But I try not to. To many times I wake up shaking, heart going so fast and I'm sweating, but I don't remember the dream if I had one

My “Like” was for “I hear you” @Tigga321.

There are other people here on the forums suffering that same thing ...... you are not alone here.
