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

@Snowie, it can feel that way with laundry. I didn’t always care so much, but now, I know if I don’t wash my clothes often enough, I’ll have to wear the less comfortable clothes.

I’m doing social work

Re: My special place

@Snowie, I am, though it can be triggering at times. I think many MH professionals have lived experiences or know someone who has struggled with MH

Re: My special place

I think MH professionals that have lived experience can relate so much more to our MH @creative_writer. That's one of the reasons I like it on here. There are plenty of people that have that lived experience. It gives you hope that they have made it through so you can too.

Re: My special place

@Snowie, I think lived experiences does make it easier to understand, but it also means you have to be able to take care of yourself and learn to place good boundaries.

I also agree that the forums are amazing, it does give you hope but also a safe place to get support/ give support to others you can relate to

@Snowie, do you have plans for tonight?

Re: My special place

Sorry @creative_writer was just cooking tea and doing the dishes.

No plans for tonight. Had a shower which always makes you feel better.

Just watching some tv.

What are you up to?

Re: My special place

@Snowie, no, it's all good, I was hanging up my dad's laundry with my sister and had dinner. A shower sounds nice. What did you make for tea?

I don't have much planned for the evening, I'm taking it slow and gentle, somatic flashbacks are never fun, but starting to feel more normal slowly, slowly. Been self-soothing, e.g., relaxation, music, prayer and will probably have an early night too

Re: My special place

Hi all

Well the time has finally come to go away to my special place, the SNOW ❄️❄️

We leave tomorrow morning so spending tonight packing and making sure we have everything we need. Will try and check in from time to time but won't be around much for the next 10-12 days.

I wish all of you well and will be thinking of you all.

Please take care and remember that you are worth it xoxo

Snowie
