rough time

@outlander

I just come to see how you are today. I've read what you wrote.
To me, & my MH issues that I live with, & sometimes have under control, then others times struggle with, your concerns are coming from deep depression, from ,chronic pain, comparing, frustration, low self esteem & thinking too much.
I woke up this morning doing the same thing. I pulled my thoughts together, took my meds, had a long shower, painted my nails, & put body cream on my legs arms & face, somethings that I hardly ever do.
Now I am getting myself esteem back, & a more positive outlook. It was not easy, I cried, prayed, & listened to relaxing, positive music.
You are very depressed sweetheart, can you do something, or write down something, listen to something, positive, just for you. Remember that depression, can be controlled with the right self help, & good support. You have the support here with us.
I hope I've helped you with what I shared?
I love you, & care very much!

Love & Big Hugs!

@outlander - I know you are around lil Sis. I'm here for you if you want to talk. I've been sitting by your side all day. Have you done any more work on your book?

@outlander - do you want to do a self soothe exercise with me?

Ok @outlander. This one is really easy and does require any major effort. It may help you to find a little bit of calm. I just need to know where are you right now. In your bedroom, kitchen, lounge room?

@outlander - that's where I thought you were. Sorry that should have said before does NOT require much effect.

First of all, tell me 5 things you can see. Describe them in as much detail as possible (and I know you have to protect your privacy, so no details of things that could give you away obviously).
