Hey Molliex, hope all is okay with you, I will send you an email to check in

Thats ok @Molliex we all go into our own bubbles at times. Sometimes its a form of self protection as well.

I use to do the same thing with SH. I was so overwhelmed by SI that seemed the quickest and easiest way to cope and just desparate to get the mind to be quiet even for a little while. Things in my world were really tough and didn't know how to manage anything so was on the edge already. SH soon become an addiction. I stopped trying to cope or listening to other methods that mightve helped such as distractions so trying to fight my way back out of that was really hard, mix that with being unable to cope with things in my world, constant appointments to professionals (even though i know they were trying their best to help and keep me safe) it also led to a breakdown and led to planning one of my attempts that i intended to carry out once i was finished at the appointment but was put in hospital before i had the chance to act on it. Im very much aware how easy it is to turn to that and also how hard SI and SH urges are to control but please find some other ways that might help. If your not sure of some ways to cope, im more then happy to share some of mine with you.
Sorry that ended up as a long winded post, but wanted to show you that i understand that worry, scariness, overwhelm, uncertainty and all that goes with it.
Im here for you.
