catching up

Hi my angel, i am so relieved you are safe, i have been worried sick, i am so glad you are at least safe.

my angel, you would not believe it, i typed in her name and city in google and she showed up on linked in, she seems to be doing so well, i am so happy for her, i wish you could reach out to her again, you would make good friends.

hugs

Jacques

Hi My angel,

i am really sad tonight, i feel like crying, but i can't, i am sorry Karen, i know you are struggling too, i don't want to make your mood any worse, i am so glad you are safe.

@NikNik has reached out, so if i need help i can talk to her direct, i have missed you so much, just so low.

hugs

Jacques

yes please my angel, what are you doing tonight? i am trying to distract with youtube and talking to you, trying so hard to work through this time, what techniques are you using?

no nothing happened, i just feel lonely, feel like i have wasted my life and that i am not a good person. i feel and think other things, but i don't want to upset you Karen.

please keep talking if you like, i have missed you so much, i like talking to you.

Hi both,

It seems like you're both not feeling well today and the conversation in here isn't particularly productive for either of you. If things escalate, you both really need to contact a crisis service.

If you wish to stay online.. I'm just going to keep on chatting here (maybe to myself.. who knows 🙂 ). I'm going to practice some 'virtual' visualisation - you can take part if you want.. or if not.. happy for you to sit and read.

I use visualisation as a means of distraction and can sometimes even trick myself into relaxing a little.

I'm going to start by describing the landscape of my favourite place. Like the 'one sentence story', if you want to, you(and anyone else who is reading) can add to the landscape. So I'll start with -

There's a big blue ocean in front of me, and I can feel the fine white sand between my toes...

I will leave this here for a couple of minutes to see if either of you respond, if not, I'll just continue.

i can see sea shells, with little crabs in them.

thank you my angel, you are so sweet, yes snuggle sounds nice, are you practicing your mindfullness? are you taking deep breaths, i am focusing on my breathing because my chest hurts.

I love the creative way @Jacques mind engages with positive strategies.

Hi @hiddenite and @Jacques

Great idea from @NikNik

The ocean has been very healing for me ... swimming in it or just looking at it ... and now that i am old and more lazy, even seeing pictures of it.
