I had a whole post written up and my damn phone died!
Im really glad your getting along with this psychologist @Sans911 about time you got someone nice and works with you.
Im sorry your support worker is leaving and has been replaces with someone uncomfortable- do you think youll be able to warm up to the new one or are allowed to request another one?
I know is overwhlming and brains and emotions dont like to co-operate at all but im/we are here for you to help you through. Just keep reaching out to us ok. Is there something that might help tonight? I dont mind helping you work through something if you need..
Yes it has taken a beating. It is healing slowly and ill be trying my best to not have any more mishaps like the other day. I didnt realise how weak it had gotten. She said ive got like carpal tunnel syndrome happening bur shes hoping itll go once time goes on. At least the psych/reception (im not sure which one) did email me to apologise and let me know. Things happen and usually unexpected. One more day isn't going to hurt.

Thank you my sisters @outlander
You seem to be in a bit of a better space today. Is that right? You're accepting things really well and calmly.
So it's only me going off my head tonight? SI/SH are really going overtime today. Telling me it's been a while. Telling me I'm such a reject & I'll never find anyone to accept me, friend or other. So many negative thoughts. I'm getting scared that the louder and stronger they get the less control or hold I can get of them. I'm afraid of what I might do and soon.

@Sans911 my sh/si has been high the last few days and even without you and @outlander knowing you have helped because I know you are there.
Yes they get loud and strong, that is when we can be lifted up and carried by others. Dont look back sweetheart, look to your side because that is where we are. Right next to you. 💜💜💜💜

I have a guest here at the moment who is staying for a little over a week, so I know I won't do anything until after that. I have a safety plan via an app on my phone which is pretty good.
I can talk to my pysch next week too, but I did tell her today it was elevated. We didn't really discuss it much further. I can also ring her even during the week. Haven't done so yet.
I know I have survived many times over. Why and how I don't know. I know too though each time I change methods which are dangerous. Sometimes it feels like Russian roulette.
