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.

Hey @Former-Member@Dockers6 ,
I'm starting to calm down, things are hard but I'll be able to push through.
Don't just survive — fight for your future. Hope is real & change is possible.
I'm just taking it step by step

@outlander - weighted blankie safe, I feel safe.
things are just really tough & rough at the moment but I believe in myself that I will be able to push through it.
currently just letting my tears and emotions run so I'm not falling asleep with my emotions all bottled up, that's the last thing I would need.
I don't know how to feel?
take care 🌻
I'll be around for abit longer

Hi @outlander @Snowie @Maggie @NatureLover @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @eth @MDT - so what a night I can't sleep because my mind is racing I'm sitting here crying, I feel numb. I feel not myself. This isn't my normal bubbly self. I've been more shut off than normal. I'm hiding a lot.
Must go and hide and cri

@Snowie - I'm really scared and nervous... I need to hide away. Nothing seems right or real.

Good morning @Former-Member,
Hope you are ok,
I'm looking afford to meeting up with a friend but also nervous at the same time because I have to travel on public transport.
My alters are constantly changing but I get through everyday even though it can be hard.
take care 🌻
