Self Harm

Hi @Angels333. I have been diagnosed with anxiety depression and PTSD. I have a lot of flashbacks in my dreams therefore I do not sleep very much at night. I don't have any support outside my psychologist hence why I have joined this forum. It has been nice to see all the support everyone shows each other here.
I understand that sharing everything with MrA is difficult however sharing just a little is still something and helps build your support system around you. You are an amazing support here on this forum to everyone and it seems you have a lot of strategies in place for yourself at home which is amazing to see. I hope that one day I can figure this out for myself too.

Hey @Lee82

Thanks for you kind words xx

It's good that you're here connecting. Flashbacks are so hard to deal with.

Is your psychologist a good fit for you?

The San online chat is good as they keep the conversation and can refer back meaning it's a good personalized service

Love Angels333

I look forward to seeing the painting @Angels333 🙂 It's nice to have a creative outlet at times like this.

My daughter is fine. She loves spending so much time with us. She gets upset about not being about to see her grandparents, but she now understands things like parks, pools, etc. are "closed". We have a backyard, so she's not stuck inside all the time. We often draw rainbows and supportive messages on the footpaths outside our house.

Hope you're going well today x

Thanks for the suggestion @Angels333 I will check it out.
I have been through 3 different psychologists and she is by far the best one. I believe she is a good fit for me however I'm not sure what the signs I should be looking for to be able to eveluate it.
I am a single parent which is a little recent and I am homeschooling 2 kids aged 8 and 12. It can be challenging at times but we are coping the best way we can.

It's all good @Angels333 , I understand completely and sometimes it's just not possible to reply straight away.

Well I can bake. I use to do celebration cakes with my ex sil for our family and friends. While she can't bake to save her life, I couldnt decorate them. We made the perfect team. I am making my poppies from red paper and putting them on green painted skewers. My plan is to create a poopy field on my footpath. My neighbour and I are doing the dawn driveway service and I have placed little invites for the other neighbours to join us in their letter boxes.

I hope your day has been ok and you found a little peace. 💖

So, I am a bit rattled by my appt with my psychologist today. I talked a bit about a trigger that I had a week or so ago, but we talked a little about some other things and he said he was concerned about me. I know I have some problem behaviors but I don't want to change...

I can't relax, I think it's anxiety and the only thing that relieves it is problem behaviours... OH how did I get in this mess...

@Former-Member @Lee82 @Molliex @TAB @Zoe7 @Shaz51 @Faith_Hope_Love

yeah its hard to know how much to tell , esp if dont want to change something @Angels333 Sorry your stressing

Yeah @TAB I see the destruction but I am comforted by the behaviour.....

I'll be alright, just ranting I suppose

OXOX Angels333......

yeah in the past I went to see counsellors about behaviours was all fine til had to do something about it, think just wanted to talk to someone @Angels333

Yeah @TAB I just wanted to be told all is good today but instead psychologist pulls out the "I am concerned about you" approach, now I feel guilty.....
