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.

Sounds like a good idea hon @Eve7

Not much on today. I managed to get dressed! Have done some washing here too.

It hasn't stopped raining here all day. So cold, have my oodie on and the heater.

Re: My special place

I think I might need to put the heater on here soon @Snowie

I just heard that a friend from my youth has passed away unexpectedly. She married for the first time in her fifties so I’m glad her past few years were full of joy with a bonus family. Just a shock.

Re: My special place

Sorry to hear that news @Eve7 It must be a shock to you.

Life doesn't seem fair sometimes. Taking those good people from us.

I have done something today I am not proud of. Just hate myself sometimes.

Life isn’t fair @Snowie

Don’t be too hard on yourself hon, it happens.

I was snacking on some dried apricots and rather than eat any more have decided to make an apricot crumble for dessert tonight.

Re: My special place

@Snowie and @Eve7, sitting with you both 🫂💖

@Eve7, I’m sorry to hear about your friend😔

I’ve been struggling today too, I feel like others have it worse though. I’m not having SI or SH urges, so I guess that makes me okay?

Re: My special place

Sorry to hear you are struggling @creative_writer It does make the days hard to deal with.

What have been you up to today?

@Eve7 that sounds like a nice dessert. Do you often make desserts?

Re: My special place

@Snowie, not much, had a shower, tried to study but didn’t get much done, spoke to SANE in the morning. How about you?

Re: My special place

Some days just seem to be a write off @creative_writer I hope speaking to Sane helped.

I haven't done much today. Waited on chat for a long time and ended up just giving up.

Trying to find the motivation to cook dinner.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, it helped a bit. I think I’m exhausted from breaking last night so my body seems to be in a haze. I think I’ve just been realising things, I have invisible trauma in the mix. Trauma that was completely unintentional, emotional neglect hurts regardless, even if all parents wanted to do was protect you. A child with high functioning undiagnosed ASD makes things tricky. It probably explains why I can’t struggle to form close relationships, so I just break when I am alone.

I’m sorry the chat took a while, it can be hard to keep holding on, I gave up when I first called Sane today, but then called again, but had to wait to be put through, I got there in the end.

What do you think you will make for dinner?

Re: My special place

Trauma affects us in so many different ways @creative_writer I sorry to hear you were breaking last night. I find the afternoon's and night's the worst. It is like I have used up all my energy just trying to get through the day, that by mid afternoon I am just exhausted. I am over myself.

I would rather be alone, I find it so hard to form those close relationships.

I'm glad you got through to Sane today. I wish Sane would bring back their Chat. I do use other ones but they aren't as good.

Tea tonight in just pasta and sauce. Nice and quick and easy to make.

What is for tea at your house?
