My special place

I can understand not wanting to go on too many meds @creative_writer Sometimes I feel like a walking pharmacy.

Can you do anything to ease that migraine?

I know doing things helps keep us busy and keeps us going @creative_writer but sometimes we have to allow ourselves to just step back and take some time out for ourselves.

We need to give ourselves that permission.

What things help when you feel this way?

Sometimes what we think and feel always feels like a negative @creative_writer The feelings are very raw and real. It can make us feel like we are continuously going through it.

Giving up is a solution. Many times have I wanted too. There have been times where I was very close to it.

Sometimes amongst the pile of sh*t we need to try and find the positives.

You are doing uni, a lot of people with mh can't even do that

You are a loving daughter who puts her family first a lot of the time

You are an amazing person who regardless of what they are going through, will support others

The list can go on.

Glad you are safe.

@creative_writer it's ok to feel this way. It's ok not to be ok. I know none of us want to end up in this position, but unfortunately we do at times.

Allow yourself time to feel these feelings.

Have you spoken to any of your supports about feeling this way? About your thoughts?

It might be something that you talk to your support/s about @creative_writer especially if it is becoming a regular thing.

When I feel that self care is hard, I try and just concentrate on one thing at a time and just getting through the next 10-30 minutes. Sometimes comfort comes in the smallest things.
