I am not coping well at the moment. I feel like my mental health is like a roller coaster going really fast. Moods are constantly switching so are my alters.
I feel like I'm stuck in my own thoughts at the moment and feel like I can't escape them. My panic attacks are becoming more frequent than usual. Feeling numb aswell.

@Maggie - missed you too, it's just been really hard to look after myself so I decided to have a few days away from everything. I've been reaching out when needed and just keeping to myself and my support team when I see them.
People are just judging me for who I am lately and I do not like it so I've been hiding away from the world to protect myself and my alters...
currently crying while typing this.
I'll be okay soon.

@Fluttershy1 ‘Ava’, you are doing a really good job keeping your main person safe. But it is always ok to reach out for help if it gets too much for you. Remember, you are important and valued also. Sending some 💜💜💜

@Maggie - it's still really hard to even reach out, the main person just wants to hide away from the world because things have gotten so intense...
we are staying safe though

Hi @outlander -
We hope you are well, the main person is not coping with everything going on lately but she is safe. She has just been crying for days on end and when she settles herself it flares back up again.

@Fluttershy1 ‘Ava’ Thankyou for letting us know you are all safe. I think the main person will come back when she feels safe, or when things are not so tense.
In the meantime, we are here for you all. Take care.💞💞
