Thanks for checking in and the concern. It's been a difficult 5 days so I've just been keeping to myself, distracting myself as much as possible. It's just hard at the moment. I do appreciate the message though, it means a lot right now. ❤️

@MJG017 completely understand and I'm glad you are taking time for yourself. Distractions are good, if i can help at all just let me know, always happy to send some cheesy jokes or some random quotes to try to make you smile. Thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way ❤️

Hi @Dreamy Sounds like its a terrible night for you, as your thoughts and emotions are going around in your head like a tumble drier. Sometimes the crisis services are great but often depends on who you talk to i suppose. And middle of the night doesnt help either. Its going to be a bit quiet on here overnight but do your best to remember all the tips and support that members here have given you and try to keep grounded. Dont forget, thoughts arent always as real as they might appear ..they just go around and around like a record. Easy to say I know, but just try to focus on the good things and things where you feel safe. And do your best to rest. Youre welcome to try crisis lines again. You may get someone you connect with. All the best, NiteKat.

Hi @NiteKat. It's definitely a terrible night for me. I just can't seem to make things stop and it's getting harder to manage. I've had several bad experiences with crisis lines over the past couple of days and really just feel like everyone is against me and that I'm not worth helping. I've been trying to best to ground myself but nothing is helping tonight. It really is just getting too much for me and it's scary when you are at that point of losing control cos I know all too well what comes next.
