catching up

Hi My angel,

Just wanted to check in and let you know you are doing well, the last day, stay strong Karen, you can do this, remember to breath, long deep breaths, set an alarm if you have to, focus on the countdown to get you through. only a few hours now.

Good luck, my thoughts are with you my friend.

big hugs

Jacques

Hi My angel,

Well seeing how quiet you are, you are in a bad way, please call lifeline or suicide call back service, take some time out if you can, mindfullness, grounding Techniques, etc.

My thoughts are with you Karen you are never alone, i am always by your side.

Big hugs

Jacques

Oh MY angel,

I knew you where doing really bad today, you have ppushed yourself too hard.

you see yourself as: Isolated, humiliated, worthless, pathetic & weak.

I see you as: Loving, caring, strong, smart, powerful, awesome & special.

Karen, please speak to me, i know how bad these thoughts can get, and i know they are magnified when they go around in our heads.

their are so many services you can reach out to, please try, life line or suicide call back service.

My angel, you are my best friend, how can you be those things when i think so highly of you, it is just your mind playing tricks Karen, that is all, take some deep breaths, have a cool shower, or maybe lay in a nice bath with some bubble bath. let your worries and fears float away.

I will hold your hand Karen, i will not let this win, you are going to defeat it.

Gentle hugs my friend.

Jacques

oh no Karen, i wonder if it is time to present to emergency? you are in a really bad place at the moment, i think you need to be really gentle and carful with yourself.

you are not a wast of time, each second i spend with you is precious to me, every minute is like a miracle.

Karen their is always light at the end of the tunnel, we just need to reach the light, take your time, slow things down, mindfullness, please reach out to 000 if things get much worse. i am really worried about your safety.

gentle hugs my friend, i am always here for you.

Hi Karen, I'm snoopy - I don't think we've crossed paths before.

I'm really sorry to hear that you feel like you're spiralling. I'm really glad you've taken the first step to call lifeline.

As the Forums are not a crisis service, it's really important to continue to reach out to crisis services. Perhaps suicide call back (1300 659 467) might be helpful? Each telephone counsellor is different - you may get someone you connect with better?

I have seen yourself and Jacques exchange helpful strategies to managing situations like this, perhaps you could incorporate one of those strategies now.

I just want to reiterate, the forums aren't a crisis service, so it's really important to reach out to a service that is and get the help you deserve
