Something’s not right

My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

Physio was ok @Snowie but my progress is slow. I’ll be glad to go home and hope I can manage ok on my own.

It’s tough with our thoughts sometimes isn’t it..you’re not alone.

Re: My special place

Thanks @Eve7 @creative_writer

Sometimes our thoughts get so loud that the only way to silence them is to give into them. Gently today, step by step.

@Eve7 hopefully you can go home soon hon. You have been in there for awhile now

Re: My special place

@Snowie it can feel that way. Resisting can be very exhausting. It feels so suffocating like you’re about to explode. It does require a lot of strength. You are worth fighting for. I wish SANE counselling services were running today. I’ve experienced hit and miss with the other helplines.

Re: My special place

Going home Thursday @Snowie and it can’t come soon enough.

Gently is the key…one step at a time and lots of cuppas. I’m doing a jigsaw to keep my brain occupied today.

Hello @creative_writer , it’s good to see you around today.

Re: My special place

I wish Sane counselling was open on a weekend too @creative_writer I find SCBS ok but it is a hit or miss with them. Sometimes they help, other times I just feel dismissed. I have H with me at the moment but he is going out soon. Will see what happens then.

@Eve7 Hopefully Thursday comes soon hon. It seems like you have been in there for awhile but I guess at least you are well looked after in there.

Re: My special place

@Eve7 it’s good to see you too. I thought I might as well come on here if I’m not going to do anything but stay in bed.

@Snowie I contacted lifeline today, tried SCBS but couldn’t be bothered waiting, they seemed pretty busy. I have run out of options, I don’t know what else to do. I’m trying so hard to keep myself safe. I hope it works out for you hon and things turn around, it’s hard 😔.

Re: My special place

I can understand fully not knowing what else to do @creative_writer I hoped lifeline helped just a little.

It is hard keeping safe and even harder not to make plans.

We can sit together and try to keep each other safe. Sitting with you 💜💜

Re: My special place

@Snowie all we can do is take it second by second ❤️❤️. Life did help a bit but it wasn’t enough, don’t blame the crisis supporter I got. It’s a tough situation. It’s so hard to not think about plans. I don’t even want to talk to family about it. I know they would help if I told them but can’t bring myself to.

Re: My special place

@creative_writer I find it tough enough to talk to my psych about it let alone my family. It is hard to discuss these types of things with people who haven't been through it themselves. That is what I like about being on Sane. You know other are going or have been through what you are going through.

I hope connecting here today is helping you. I know it is helping keep me a little safer.

Re: My special place

It will be 3 weeks on Thursday @Snowie and considering it’s not for MH that is a long time. 5 days in the hospital and the rest in the rehab unit.

I have been well looked after but I’m a fair way from home so visitors have been few an far between especially as S1 has covid. My friends will visit once I’m home which will stop me overthinking which is what I’m doing in here.

Enough about me….do you have plans for tomorrow? I really hope the day goes well for you.
