Hi @hiddenite

Zahlia here,

I'm a bit worried about how you are going at this very moment. I know you have your daughters party, and don't seem to be coping. I need to ask whether you are safe at the moment, and what will you do to remain safe for the rest of the party/ day?

We are all here for you Karen.

Thinking about you @hiddenite

Karen, are there strategies that @Jacques or a moderator has discussed with you that you can put in place right now??

I am so happy you are here and you expressing yourself, thankyou.

What you say is said well by you and you are always kind at the end of each message

Karen, please remember think of me, then 3 deep breaths, i know the horrible thing with hyper arousel, Baloons are the worst, can you go out side for a few min to get a break from the noise and people?

I think you are overwhelmed because of so many people being their, even if it is only family.

hugs my angel, you have done well, the day is almost over, you are safe and you will be able to rest soon.

focus on the here and now, breathing and use your senses to stay in the present.

Thinking of you heaps my angel, my princess, my friend. 🙂

Good luck with your dinner Jacques.

Re: catching up

Hey there @Jacques sorry to hear how bad things are right now, remember to hold on because the most awful panic feelings don't last forever, it will pass. Remember to breathe, look at your surroundings and ground yourself into the moment. Hold something in your hand and notice how it feels and concentrate on noticing it. You can get through this, thoughts are only thoughts. Remember life line is always available.
Here with you
