Hi @LouLouMagoo, I just want to not feel so alone right now. Right now I'm just feeling so overwhelmed and hurt, feeling like i don't matter to anyone and that I'm not worth helping. I splashed some cold water on my face, had a drink, walked around my house, I'm trying to listen to music and I'm playing games on my phone but my body is just feeling so tense and restless at the same time, I can feel everything building up inside of me to that point where I feel like I'm going to explode and lose control. I'm trying so hard to fight it.

I can hear all the great things you are doing to support yourself! Amazing that you know getting support from other people is helpful, so jumping on the forums is an awesome idea, despite things not feeling so good at the moment. I encourage you to keep reaching out to supports, even helplines/chat lines to help relieve some of the tension and build up of those thoughts 🙂

@MissinTooth   hi MissinTooth how is your day going?

[Dreamy]

Hello @MJG017, thinking of you. Hope you are going as ok as you can be ❤️.

@Dreamy 

Sorry I haven't been around much recently.  I'm okay, thanks for asking. Everything is just getting on top of me a bit, and I haven't been in much of a sociable mood.  No point sharing the misery I guess 😁

I hope Casper is good... and that his mum is doing okay as well.

@MJG017 that's ok, I've just been thinking about you and thought I'd check in. I get that feeling of everything getting on top of you, understand not being in a social mood. It's not a matter of sharing the misery but rather not having to sit alone with everything, that's why we are here, to support each other 😊.

Casper is doing well, me well I'm just trying to keep pushing through. Things are hard at the moment and I feel like the world is against me, but it's just one foot in front of the other right?

Hi @Bunniekins @Dreamy @MJG017 

My day's been busy trying to finish my final assignment for the Trauma Informed Care unit I've been doing as a part of my Grad Cert in Child and Adolescent Mental health. Got it done and submitted it, now I'm trying to calm my farm and my anxiety before heading out to a loud and masked dinner with my family for my brother's birthday yesterday. 

[Dreamy]

Hi @MissinTooth well done for getting it done and submitted, so proud of you 😊.

What strategies are you using to try and calm down and ease the anxiety before having to head out to dinner with the family? 

[MissinTooth]

@Dreamy I've reached out on one of my threads to see if someone can sit with me while we run through a grounding exercise...no response yet, but...we'll see. 

I'm sitting on the floor in front of the wood heater, trying to regulate my breath and my heart rate.

@MissinTooth happy to help if you don't get a response from anyone else.
