Looking after ourselves

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

There was really big butterflies in cairns like the size of my head big I can’t remember what they were called but cool colours

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

@ArraDreaming that sounds cool 😎

 

 

@Jynx what's a butterfly house?  I'll if I can get a picture on Google for you 

 

 

Right now I am angry what's the point in a helpline?   Can't even help me when I am feeling suicidal am I not worth it?  

 

I give up   

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

Sorry to hear you feel like that tonight @Flowerlove22 tell me about somethin unrelated to take your mind off things maybe
What’s your favourite food

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

What did you have for dinner

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

@Flowerlove22 A butterfly house is a place where they keep butterflies - so you can visit and there's soooo many butterflies flapping about, and some might even land on you! Very cool, highly recommend if you have one nearby!

 

I am sorry, sounds like a difficult experience. Sometimes we just don't get the right person on the other end, which can be very frustrating. 

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

@Flowerlove22 this isn’t the first time you have been suicidal and I dare say probably won’t be the last, but what coping skills have you used so far to survive the other days that you can use tonight? Because you have had it through this feeling before right?
What is different about today?
I like I, I want you here and I now you got it in you, you have proven it time and time again

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

@ArraDreaming  favourite food is  meatballs or crumb chicken  

Dinner tonight nothing yet  what's for dinner for you?

Re: Support for Flowerlove22

We had carbonara! You may laugh.

I’m doing what I call the nightly security guard duties, I have a little spot in our hallway that I sit and tell my kids to go back to bed about 45 times a night, they still never learn that I’m sitting right outside their bedrooms. It’s mostly for the older one, our middle kid (3) will usually go out like a light while we’re in there, fall asleep on one of us and we have to sneak out lol
