@Angels333 As always - thinking of you and letting you know that what is done is done. You cannot change it but having Mr Angels there to support you is everything. Do not beat yourself up Hon - you did what you did to cope in the moment - now to move forward again ....as I know you can do sweetheart. Hugs and hugs ![]()

Thanks sweet @Zoe7 . It's a really awful thing SH. But it is done and I'm feeling okay tonight.
I'm using it as an avoidance/ rejection of accepting the trauma I have suffered. Because I was a child at the time I can't clearly piece it al together so it's the not knowing that causes the distress.
I hope your well tonight and Cat and Tobes are okay ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
XOXO ANGELS333

When our brains cannot cope with that type of trauma we often do whatever we can to get through it @Angels333 Whilst SH is not ideal it is the way you have learnt to cope with it. You have also not done that much lately so that is a positive. Keep taking those steps forward Hon - because you have been doing so much better. ![]()
Cat and Toby are doing okay. Cat has daily medication now that will be for life. We are hoping that it reduces the cancer and she can live with it for a long time but of course there are no guarantees. For now though she is doing okay, looks healthy still, is eating and just doing what Cat does - so that is positive. It does mean we need to have 3 monthly ultrasounds and regular blood tests to see how she is going.

Oh boy, it's a bad day! I'm all up in my head and SH addiction is calling, I feel so abandoned by my mental health professionals right now. No one is giving me any answers.

Hi @Angels333 ,
Sorry to hear you're having a tricky time at the moment. What sort of strategies do you have in your toolbox to help you get through this difficult time and manage these thoughts?
In response to: Re: Self Harm

I do know itis hard @Angels333 especially when you feel abandoned by others or do not have any answers Hon. The important thing is you look after yourself right now - do not place any extra pressure on yourself or thoughts of others who are not there with you. Breath and distract - take your mind to somewhere else that is less stressful and painful. Is there any music you like to listen to or tv you can watch to get your mind somewhere else?

I am going to try and sleep. It's quite the crisis in my head right now but I'm determined not to end up in a major crisis, eventuating in hospital etc. Urgh I just want this all to stop. I've got no energy for unwell me at the moment with Tafe and work....I'll try and sleep
