Struggling

Hi @Maggie @Zed1 @Faith-and-Hope @Hamsolo01 @Dizzyizzy @Snowie @WIP @frog @NatureLover @Judi9877 @greenpea @eth @outlander -

things have been hard today, fighting SH urges and emotions have been difficult. But we have been staying safe. Candy is currently in tears because she feels like none of her family understand her MH. She's been told she is faking it when she isn't.
She is trying her best to not let the SH urges win and the bad alter take over.
We are currently safe.

But it's abit of a hard time.

Hey @Fluttershy1 and Ella,

Mmm thats a rough spot to be in. You're surrounded by love and support here, and it sounds like you're engaging in some good self-care strategies. MH stigma can be so awful, but you are valid and your experiences are too. Hope you can find some moments of peace today

Ok sweetie, what are some things Candy can do to help bring her anxiety down a little? You are doing a good job Ella. @Fluttershy1

@Jynx - it's candy

i feel like a mess, I don't know who I am anymore.
urges are sitting around. Crying and feeling numb.
I'm safe

Hey nikki,

it's candy, I'm not having a great day.
im just hiding.
currently crying

@Former-Member

Hey Candy, hiding is ok sweetheart. I am sorry you are crying though. It's Izzy, Nikki has gone for a bit but I am happy to keep talking to you and any of your alters that want to talk. Where are you hiding? Only answer if you feel safe enough to do so. @Fluttershy1

Izzy it's nice to meet you, can you stay and chat.

im crying.

@Fluttershy1 You might feel like a mess, but you are you! Sometimes the best way to know who you are is to be who you are... that might sound a bit obvious, but in my experience being unapologetic about what I do helps me feel like I'm being myself... and it's when I am at my most silly and playful that I feel this way.

Urges are tough, but I know you can be stronger than them today. Sending you some extra strength, and some extra silliness, hopefully at least one of them will find you and help you through!

@Jynx - you gave me both, you made me smile and laugh. I'm now in a silly mood. I feel a lot better now you have sent that!
thanks for that

would you like a qoute in return
