Hi My angel,

I hope you are well today, i can't appologise enough for my conduct last night, i should not have told you those things, i know how triggered you are by anger.

gentle hugs my angel, you are in my thoughts always, i hope you are safe and well.

missing you so much my sweet princess.

Hi @hiddenite and @Jacques

I'm not sure if you've seen this discussion about Beyond Blue's new safety plan app BeyoneNow. It's actually the framework myself and @CherryBomb have talked you both through before.

I was wondering if you both would be interested in filling it out so you have a safety plan handy?

You can either fill it out by downloaded the app by going to the app store and searching for Beyond Blue or go to the desktop version

Would that be something you're both open to?

You poor thing, it was hard enough getting through my lawn, the mower kept wanting to stop, i had to go a little bit then wait for it to chew it up. My angel, i wish i could be their to do those hard manual jobs for you, all i would ask in return was for a glass of water 🙂

Karen, you are absolutely right, i am not going to get a punching bag, i have to learn to redirect my anger inwards or into something creative. i do wood work, so i am going to try to burn energy so i can't get that upset. i am also going to take "time out" way before i get to that stage. i need to learn to control this, it is not good for mum or anyone around me.

Karen, i have never taken my anger out on another person, i have only ever taken it out on inanimate objects and myself. i would never hurt a living creature, ever. i even step around ants so i don't hurt them.

Karen, i hope you are not scared of me, everyone around me is and i would be devistated if you where too. i would understand, but it would make me so sad.

Can i give you a cuddle? i do need one if tht is ok?

hi @NikNik,

I would be very hesitant going anywhere near Beyond Blue, they treated me very badly in the past, they almost brought me to take my own life, they are very triggering for me.

sorry

Jacques

Hi @Jacques

I'm sorry to hear that. The framework behind this is backed by a lot of research - Beyond Blue has done a good job of taking that framework and making it easier for people to use... in the privacy of their own phone.

However, I don't want to trigger you.

Here is a PDF version from the researchers' page (not tied to Beyond Blue). You will either need to print it out or rewrite your anwers in another document, as you can't edit this one.

The only other advantage of the BB version is that you could email us a version (team@saneforums.org) directly from the app/website and we can have a copy of it handy to go through with you when things are getting tough.

Let me know what you think.

Nik

PS: If you're interested, this is the website produced by the reseachers involved (not BB branded or related) if you want more information.

Ok @NikNik, i will download it.
