I need support this week big time!

Hello @Angels333

Glad you are finding your determination. It can become your anchor when times are low. You might be low for all sorts of reasons that life dishes up. Stay in good keeping with yourself. You dont deserve punishment and you dont need the extra stimulation to drown out the voices.

I am glad @Drac0 and @BlueBay have been there for you. Once you start to find other ways of coping it helps.

There were many years in my life when I just lived for my next counselling session. I can get though this as its only to next week or the next couple days ...it was important to have a human person to talk to and just be me that mattered.

One week will be great. Its just a nice number easy to remember.

It is liking breaking a habit. Finding different ways of coping and programming your self to respond to feelings with better outcomes ... listening to music .. curling up reading a book .... Yes I went to bed and I went back to biting my nails .. and in some ways I dont want to be hassled about that ... if you only knew the other habits i have had ... its not laziness it is just a way to calm myself down ...

Do you have a few strategies you can try @Angels333 things that are practical in your home environment.

Books can be great but not all the time.The other day I was in the train with my son .. and he was curious why I wasnt reading ... I go through on and off reading periods ... Sometimes I just like hearing the rumble and looking out the window or people watching ... and talking to them if the mood is right. Slowly I am getting better at sensing that in others.
