Struggling

Good morning @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Lee82 @Emelia8 @nashy @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @Maggie @Zed1 @Faith-and-Hope @Myboy @Appleblossom @Hamsolo01 @Dizzyizzy @Snowie @WIP @frog @NatureLover @Judi9877 @greenpea @eth @outlander -

Hope you are all well!
It was a long night, my mind wouldn't stop racing, I needed a switch off button. My mind was just thinking of everything it could. I'm feeling very overwhelmed about my social worker appointment. That's over zoom....

Mind just won't stop thinking. I am crying.
stuck with flashbacks once again.

Im safe

take care🌻

Hi there @Fluttershy1 We havent really spoken before I dont think. So I will start by saying that its nice to meet you 👍🧡 and I thank you for tagging me into your thread.

Yes it was a long night, I can see that. It was for a number of us I guess. I too wish I could find that elusive 'off button'. How good would that be?

I hope your zoom meeting with your social worker goes well today. Try to keep yourself distracted throughout the day to help keep the flashbacks at bay. I know thats really hard to do, but distraction meditation and grounding techniques do help. At least they do for me ... and I hope for you also. Please do stay safe .. that needs to be your main priority today. Hope the SW appointment helps with that as well.

Hi @Zoe7 @Lee82 ... my thoughts are very much with you right now as well.

Emelia 🌸

I am not sure what you like to do @Fluttershy1 Maybe make a list of those things and then choose a couple that you both enjoy and will take a little time to do. I need to do some housework today when I get home but sleeping will be my priority - need to catch up a little from last night.

@Emelia8 - I'm staying safe, nice to meet you too!

things are just rough I'm not looking afford to my SW appointment but me need go. Hope to get to chat to you more.

Thanks @Emelia8 - and mine with you knowing how difficult the next few days will be.

Good morning @Fluttershy1 @Zoe7 and @Emelia8

@Fluttershy1 I hope your appointment goes well for you hun and that you are able to get some more rest.

@Zoe7 hope today is slightly more bareable for you hun and that your appointment also goes well.

@Emelia8 hoping you find some peace today my friend and that you have a good day.

@Zoe7 - we are doing art & craft I think?

currently curled up in bed with doggo🤷🏼‍♀️
me no get up yet even though my appointment is at 9:30am....

@Lee82 - I scare today, mind no think straight.

@Lee82 I will be able to get some help from my GP that I am very much hoping will help me sleep tonight. I also need more pain relief for my back - tripped over one of Toby's toys yesterday

How are you this morning?

Doing art and craft always helps me @Fluttershy1 I don't have much time with work to do those things now but enjoy it when I can.

I would very much like to be curled up in bed with Tobes as well - he is asleep on the couch next to me though ...never far away
