@hiddenite

Sorry to hear that things are not going so well today. Please remember you've been here before and you can get through.

What are some things you can do on this list to distract you tonight? Or maybe you can think of something else?

Distractions:

Watching a movie

Chatting on the forums

Colouring in

Karen as per our agreement, you can use the forums as a strategy to distract. If you can't do this, then it might be time to contact emergency services.

My angel, i am, but i want you to hold it with me, take my hand and we will hold your hope together, it will give you strength.

hugs my sweet girl, they are only thoughts, you don't have to act on them.

you have kept me safe for so long, i hope i can do the same for you.

you mean the world to me, i would do anything to keep you safe. i so baldy want to hug you now and tell you everything will be ok.

Karen, to help keep you safe tonight, can you tell me how can you distract yourself? It might include just sitting by the fire with Jacques, or breathing and ground techniques.

If you can't do this, we may need to explore other avenues, such as contacting emergency services to keep you safe.

Shall we sit by the fire? I think @Jacques is preparing some hot chocolate, is that right Jacques?

Oh yes, hot chocolate and oversize marshmellows 🙂

Please Karen, keep safe, i need you and so do the girls, fight your thoughts Karen, they are wrong, tell them you don't want them anymore, you don't need these thoughts.
