Numb again

Hi @Pollyotter I hope you don't mind me popping up out of the blue. I just wanted to message you cause I have been what you've been going through. I've actually been sl*t shamed by a psychiatrist. I was sexually abused for as a child and in my teens. And when I moved for uni I was assaulted again. I also have been treated horribly by community mental health. I am really sorry what you're going through. I used to have sever insomnia until I was put on an anti psychotic which basically was a heavy sedative. I went from not sleeping for 4-5 days at a time to sleeping 12 hours day everyday. Please feel free to reply if you want to talk.

Hey @Pollyotter How are you tonight?

I just saw your hello by chance and not actually sure who you are talking to Hon - it really helps if you tag the person you are talking to - that way they get a notification and can respond. To do that type in an @ then start typing in the name - a dropbox will then allow you to click on the name of the person you are posting to - that also means your post will not be missed. I generally only respond to notifications I am tagged in and would hate to miss one from you.

Hey @Pollyotter I can see you haven't gotten the knack of how to tag yet Hon but I have been keeping an eye out for you tonight - so saw your message.

I will go through how to tag again so I don't miss any messages from you in the future.

Start by typing in the @ symbol - then begin typing my name ie. @Zoe7 a dropbox will show my name and you click on that. The name should then turn green to show you have tagged me. It does take a little getting used to but once you have mastered it it becomes easier.

Now to the important thing - how are you?

You got it right anyway @Pollyotter - I got a notification this time 👍

I wouldn't say losing your mind Hon - just dealing with a lot of really horrible thoughts. Our brains have a way of doing that and it becomes hard to get rid of those thoughts sometimes.

ANything you need to get out tonight - I am here with you
