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 nothing wrong with taking a rest day after a poor night sleep ♥️. I hope you are able to rest up today.

I’m still quite agitated, even after taking a PRN last night. The springtime agitation continues

Re: My special place

In the kitchen now @creative_writer Going to make a slice.

Perhaps you can find something calming to do. Colouring in, journaling, some meditation, I don't know, anything that just calms the brain down a bit.

Maybe even some more prn if thats safe for you

Re: My special place

@Snowie zucchini slice sounds delicious, is there any particular way you make it. Your kids must be lucky to have a mum who cooks wholesome meals.

I’ll try to distract myself by watching some TV because if I get too caught up in my thoughts I spiral. I might also make a cuppa of herbal tea and may need another PRN

Re: My special place

@creative_writer I got this recipe of a friend so I haven't made it yet. When she made it, it was yummy, so hoping it tastes the same when I make it!

We don't have a lot of junk food in the house. If we eat out it is normally something like thai or japanese. I'm lucky also that my kids will try anything.

TV sounds like a good idea. Sometimes we can get so engrossed in it that we can have a break from ourselves. A cuppa and maybe some prn might help. Thats what I did about an hour ago.

Re: My special place

@Snowie nothing beats homemade meals. I hope the zucchini slice turned out delicious. I don’t eat much junk food either because my gut is so sensitive. Doesn’t surprise me, many of us who struggle with mental health have sensitive guts. The gut is the second brain.

It was good to get my mind off things. Emotions can wear you down. I know I can’t keep running away. The masking is draining and lonely 😔

Re: My special place

Our gut is our second brain. Hence gut health is so important @creative_writer

Hope you are okay.

Re: My special place

@tyme I hope you’ve had a good birthday. Sorry didn’t drop by the chat, been doing stuff for uni.

I’m not okay, I’ve had thought of wanting to disappear off the face of the Earth because things feel hopeless. I am safe

Re: My special place

That's okay @creative_writer if you couldn't make it tonight.

Sitting with those thoughts are really hard. Do you go out much? Or are there things you can do to help you with those thoughts?

Re: My special place

@tyme I mostly go out for Uni. I don’t really do much on the weekends. I’ve been trying to distract myself today, but I can’t do that all the time. The emotional pain can feel overwhelming to the point it’s paralysing. I feel like it’s stuck inside me
