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

@Snowie maybe I’m overthinking, it’s hard not to let other peoples words seep in when you’re feeling low, especially when it came from what was meant to be a therapeutic setting. The point is, I don’t see that person anymore. Once I spoke to a peer support worker about it and she was offended for me.

I know it can be hard when you’re on your own. Sometimes we need to do things that take our mind off during heightened emotional periods. Is there anything soothing or distracting you can do for yourself tonight?

Re: My special place

It is hard not to believe others @creative_writer especially when we are at our low points. I can understand why you feel like you do. It is good however to hear that you have removed that toxic person from your life. Having those people around can just make things worse for us.

I've tried. I just don't see the point. Not worth it.

Hi @tyme

How are you going?

Re: My special place

@Snowie removing that person was a big step when I did take it years ago. therapy is supposed to make you feel better in the long run, not worse about yourself. But I still second guess myself at times to this day and start wondering whether what she painted me as is what I am.

Here to chat if you want a distraction 💖

Hi @tyme how are you? 🙂

Re: My special place

Sounds like some heavy feels here @creative_writer @Snowie

I'm here to listen if you need an ear.

I've been okay today. Looking forward to the weekend.

Re: My special place

I think it is normal to second guess ourselves at times @creative_writer especially when those people are meant to support us. It certainly isn't what they said, but I do know believing good things about ourselves is hard.

Thanks for the offer hon. I don't regret what I've done. It feels like I deserved it.

@tyme glad your day has been ok, hopefully the weekend will be good for you too.

I reached out today but it made no difference. I'm at the end of my sp.

Re: My special place

I'm just tired of myself @tyme

I know I'm being selfish but it's just not worth it.

Re: My special place

@tyme I think we sometimes underestimate how much words can impact us, but it does. I have struggled with not feeling good enough since I was a child. I automatically take a lot of blame and shame myself.

What are you up to on the weekend?


@Snowie 💖🫂. It can be hard to believe we are worthy enough when we are feeling so low. Holding the space for you
