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.

Do you have activities to help with anxiety @Fluttershy1 .? what’s in your tool box? thread might help. Sometimes reading what others have found helpful gives us ideas.

@Maggie - I've been using my sensory box and talking To other helplines. I'm unwell aswell.

Being unwell as well is really hard @Fluttershy1 . Maybe a rest kind of day, if you can manage. Specially after no sleep. It’s hard going on empty. A gentle day ahead.

@Maggie - it's a quiet day. Going to watch a lot of Netflix and contact my support team to cancel things as I'm unwell.

Sorry to read you've been having such a hard time with your alters and with your support team not responding, @Fluttershy1 . Also with not much sleep, which can't be helping.
I hope today is a better day for you, nice and quiet...
