Hi @saltandpepper

It sounds like you have had a wretched day. Your feelings of terror and sadness sound so distressing. I really hope you are able to find some relief and calm before too long and am certain that you will get support here from the forums members. If speaking to someone about what your are going through might help you please consider the 24 hour helplines.

take care

Thanks @Former-Member and thanks for the reminder about the helplines--always slips my mind. Although today is probably best unpacked in therapy. But thanks for the comment, appreciate it greatly.

@saltandpepper I’m sorry it’s so tough. I understand the need to get things done, sometimes though, it’s not possible.

I hope tonight is a better one for you. Take care.

Cheers @Maggie yeah hoping tomorrow I can pull me head in and get back to routine. I know these days come around but it's frustrating. Those feelings of guilt and being disappointed in myself for not coping better. I'm better than I was this morning, out of bed and ate a roll. Just feeling mentally drained and exhausted from today--despite having spent it in bed.

Anyway, thanks for responding, much appreciated

@saltandpepper It’s tough, but you are still breathing, that’s a big plus. You have done your best, you can’t do better than that.

I’m glad you are a little better, and you’ve eaten something, another plus, and out of bed, despite feeling exhausted.

I’m so pleased you have your dog. They love us unconditionally, and I know you return it. I have only made it through many nights because I have my loyal companion.🐶🐶

Take it easy tonight. Tomorrow is another day, who knows, it might be better. I hope so. Sending you some. 💙💙💙

Thanks @Maggie

I am really lucky, my dog is just the best. She probably takes better care of me than I do of her. Thanks for the love and holding out hope for me, I hope tomorrow is a better day. Bit apprehensive about sleep tonight, but I guess nightmares are something I'm better at coping with. But still, just wish I could flip a switch and shut it all off for a while. Maybe I'll bring the dog to bed tonight, she's malting, but hey, the hairy mess can be a problem to deal with tomorrow

@saltandpepper I hope you best friend was by your side during the night. 🐶🐶

If you didn’t manage to sleep, I hope you could rest.

Sending you thoughts and ❣️❣️❣️. I don’t know if you enjoy nature, but sometimes, I sit outside and watch and listen to the birds. Good for the soul. Finding moments helps, no matter how short they are.

Take care.

Hey @Maggie thanks for the message. Spent most of the night in front of the TV with my doggo snoring her head off in her bed. Didn't have the heart to disturb her when I finally went to bed. She is a very good dog and since we have a 3yo gallivanting around the place, she also loses a lot of sleep to his shenanigans.

I'm in a better headspace today, though somehow still feeling exhausted. Not sure I can manage to find motivation yet for anything, but at least the initial distress has passed. Thanks for checking in.

How have you been getting on? Hope today is a good day for you

Hi @saltandpepper

I am sorry it has been a dreadful time for you, @Maggie is the best when it comes to looking out for us.

I saw today is better, that is good news. I agree doggo's are the best. I was recently introduced to EVERYTHING DOGS thread. This might bring a smile to your face. Sending you both lots of hugs for a better day 🙂

@Anastasia @saltandpepper check out Dogs Rock 😆 if you have time. Plenty to smile about there.
