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

I've struggled as well today too @Fluttershy1

The days are very long atm.
Today was a little bit better than y'day & I'm hoping tomorrow will be a little better again.

Im not crying as frequently during the day which is an improvement.

Re: Struggling

@WIP @outlander @Snowie - spent the last hour crying and trying really hard to fight the urges of SH, it's really tempting to let the urges win but I'm not going to let them win.
I feel numb and lost and very unsure.
Also having family judging me and not understanding my MH is the worst thing...
Crying more....

Take care ❤️

Re: Struggling

Morning @Fluttershy1

I really hope you were able to settle last night and get a bit of rest/sleep.

I'm sure snuggles with your dog helped. I know that always helps me. They can tell when we are distressed and do their best to help us with their hugs.

i hope you have a better day today. X

Re: Struggling

@WIP @outlander @Snowie @Maggie @NatureLover @MDT @eth @Former-Member @Shaz51 @frog - what a night, didn't sleep again my mind just wouldn't switch off. I'm feeling abit here there and everywhere. Fighting SH urges because I want to stay safe. The conflict with my family not understanding my MH they just assume everything.
Been crying again.

i feel lost and numb.
I'm safe

Take care🌻
