Owww, Thank you so much @Dreamy. I don't really know what to say. A rarity, I know 😄
It does mean a lot, especially at the moment, with what seems like nothing but darkness. It is a beautiful reminder to keep looking at those stars. Particularly those brightest ones! One of which writes incredibly supportive messages. 😉

Hi @Ru-bee, feeling really down at the moment. Alot of different and scary things have started happening.
How are you going?

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that @Dreamy are you wanting to talk about that or to have some distraction chats at the moment?
I'm good today, same old...Need to summon the motivation to get some groceries tonight for dinner, all the public holidays this week has thrown me out of whack with that and the pantry is looking very bare

@Ru-bee it's hard to explain it properly. But I'm missing gaps in time where I can't remember what's happened. There's times when I don't feel like I'm in my body, like I'm watching things from the sidelines. My moods are very erratic and I find myself going from being somewhat ok to really down and not wanting to exist anymore.
Sending you some motivation. I feel that with the public holidays, it's really thrown me out of whack aswell.

That sounds like it's pretty confusing and could be feeling a bit scary @Dreamy? It sounds a bit like dissociation, do you think that sounds right?

@Ru-bee yeah it's definitely scary. Maybe, I just don't know anymore. I just really want to make everything stop right now. The thoughts, urges, feelings and emotions, visions, flashbacks, I can't take it anymore.
