HURTING :(

That's really good that your psych is going to work on that for you @STORMGRL101 so pleased for you.

Take tonight easy, maybe watch something light and uplifting to let your mind rest for a bit. Tomorrow is a new day, you may feel differently and the outing might go well.

You've learnt lots of strategies to manage by the sounds of things, and if you let someone you trust in the group know you might have a moment, they should surely help you get through any trouble spots.

Have some good food, some water too, it's been so hot today hasn't it, and allow yourself to let go of the anger and tears just for now so you can get some rest. Hope you have a restful night.

thanks @Former-Member I think I will have my night meds early as i feel so emotionally exhausted. yes i think the staff would know how to support me in the group but i hope i will be ok but after yesterday and today i dont know but i will try to let it go and rest.

Why do some people working in MH cause so much harm even if they don't intend to.

Sigh @STORMGRL101, that is definitely a question I've been asking myself an awful lot lately. I think it is mostly a lack of training, knowledge and skill. So many MH professionals do so much harm. I know I am in a far worse position now than I was even three months ago due to recent experiences with some MH professionals...and I was already in a terrible muddle then!

I'm really glad to hear your psychologist is following up with the service, Stormgrl. I have been following your story but alas, due to my own MH-professional-induced muddles, I don't have a lot to give right now. I am reading and caring though.

That sounds like a good plan @STORMGRL101

Rest well, will check in the morning as I'll be going to bed early tonight myself.

@STORMGRL101 @Phoenix_Rising

I wish I had an answer for that question myself! I've retreated from pretty much everything recently for similar reasons Phoenix_Rising. It's so incredibly difficult when things don't ever seem to move forward unless I do it myself.

Rest well both of you. I'll see you tomorrow. Stay safe, look after you.

Dashing by for a quick check in with you @STORMGRL101

There's a storm moving over us just now and if it starts to rain properly I want to go out on the patio and watch it. What interesting thing happened in your day today? Oh, I must ask how is the bunny going?

sorry for the late reply @Phoenix_Rising but thankyou for reading and caring. i hope you are ok.

well @Former-Member i went on the group outing on Tuesday and by Tuesday afternoon I was in an ambulance heading to hospital. Things just became too much for me and i slipped into a dissociate state when i wasn't responding so the people i were with called the ambo. I spent 2 nights there and just came home and had a shower and now im feeling flat but been told i need to practice some self care.

@STORMGRL101 Good to hear you've been cared for and are now doing a bit better.

I think we all need to do a bit more self care, hun.

Look after you, sory for short reply. have to go do other stuff.
