Hi @Tigga321 ..... 👋💕
Good to see you back here. Are you managing to find things to help distract you from the harmful thoughts ?
Do you garden at all ? Knit ? There is a video clip showing how to finger-knit a scarf on the craft thread if you have some thick-ish yarn and want to give it a try ......

Re: Dark thoughts scaring me.
I am glad to hear it @Tigga321 .....
I hope your hospital stay has provided you with more support, and strategies to help you keep putting one foot after another in baby steps forward.
Are you seeing a counsellor (if you don’t mind me asking) ?

Hello @Faith-and-Hope, yes I am, every week for now...

Re: Dark thoughts scaring me.
Loneliness is hard @Tigga321 ..... hopefully chatting a bit here will help with that a little. We are glad to have you here, glad you found us, and little by little we get to k ow each other.
It helps to have people who care, people you matter to, and that is what we have in each other.
Have you had a look around the forums a bit ? Even if you’re not up to posting very much, there are gardening threads and others with beautiful imagery. There are cat, dog and bird threads ..... art and craft threads ...... it not all about people’s illnesses and pain. It’s also about friendship and interests.
It will be hard to do anything other than look at first, because feelings of flatness and numbness are hard to reach past, but please persevere ..... these feelings can pass as you learn how to move forward again.
