Something’s not right

Struggling

Struggling

Hi all,

Things are really hard my way I'm struggling I've been very distant from social media so I haven't been on forums much due to my MH being really bad. I just seem to be picking myself up constantly and it's not fun it's exhausting. I've constantly been switching alters, I've been told I have another one so that's making me scared and worried.
I am keeping to myself a lot because I'm struggling.
I'm trying to get myself stable so I can be better again and that I can do the things I want to do * once Covid is over *

I'm sorry that I haven't been around lately

Take care all ❤️🦋

Re: Struggling

ways to deal with emotions @Fluttershy1

So for example ways in which I need to distract myself or channel what I feel. Gym is a good one, and so is playing pc games that are low key and enjoyable - not intense ones.

You do art right? That's an example

Re: Struggling

It's good you're safe @Fluttershy1

It's also okay to be not okay. You can release a lot of stress by crying my friend. Sometimes that is our body and mind's way of getting rid of it.

You do you my friend. Maybe put on some music and do some art hey? Take some time for yourself away from the world.

There are support services too as well if you need them

And of course the forumite community is here to support you

Re: Struggling

Bubbles are my favourite @Fluttershy1 I can get lost in watching them and Tobes thinks they are fun too so it is doubly good. Pencil and paper is good to draw with or write down thoughts - somteimes both. Others have colouring ins and coloured pencils which can work well too. I also have some dvds I like - comedies - and although they don't always make me laugh they do take my thoughts away from whatever I am struggling with for a time. I also have a variety of sensory balls, fidget spinners, a heat pack and candles. I also often put my favourite smells in my vapouriser - both nice to smell and calming.
