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

Sorry to hear that @creative_writer Even when it's hot we still need a warm shower.

I find it is hard to do anything when I am down and depressed. Especially those basic things that seem so easy but are really hard.

@Jynx that is a great idea. Might have to use that. I hope your day is going well.

Re: My special place

@Jynx, sometimes it can be hard to do things. I’m in bed right now and don’t want to get up. Really trying to hold on, SI is hard, trying to stay alive.

@Snowie sending hugs 💖

Re: My special place

@creative_writer SI are hard. They are hard to manage and hard to control at times.

Mine SI and SH have been high the last few weeks too. I am scared to be by myself incase I do anything.

I have a coping box that I go to when my SI are high. It has fidgets, photos of family/friends important to me, a teddy bear, some nice smelling hand cream, some essential oils, my journal, written down things I'm thankful for and a few other things. I made this box awhile ago, and it doesn't always help but at least it gives me something to use when needed.

Perhaps you can make up your own coping box at some stage. Just a suggestion.

@Jynx 💕

Re: My special place

Good for you to get the shopping done @Snowie. I hate doing it and there is only me…

I hope you enjoyed your nap..

Im so ashamed but I’ve spent most of the day in bed. I did lay in the sun for a bit and do some diamond art.

I get the shower thing. I haven’t showered for 2 days. I usually have 2 or 3 a day.

Maybe a shower will help you tonight?

Re: My special place

Nothing wrong with spending most of the day in bed @Captain24

Some days are just harder then others. It is just a way of looking after yourself.

I did go and have a shower just before. I must say that I feel a lot cleaner!! Washed my hair too which is a task in itself.

Re: My special place

Oh.. the washing hair task is even harder @Snowie. I’ve considered dreadlocks.

Yeah I’m doing it pretty tough today.

When do the kids go back to school?

Re: My special place

@Snowie 💖 the box idea sounds good. I was thinking of taking one of those roller essential oil thingies to uni, so if I get stressed out I can use it. I love scents so have essential oils, a room spray, and wear perfume everyday even when I am at home. I need to wash my teddies. I feel like I need to print out my safety plan or save it to my phone. I know it’s there but I need to login into my email every time.

@Jynx I think I’m doing better. Came off the phone from a relative and it helped 💖

Re: My special place

My daughter goes back to school on Monday @Captain24 and my son on Tuesday.

Not sure if they are looking forward to getting up early again!

Washing hair is hard, I don't do it as much as I should. I normally just pull it back so I don't have to think about it.
