Something’s not right

Re: I can’t cope

It hurt @lavenderhaze. It hurt a lot. But it’s my own fault. I was the one that wasn’t honest. I held back. 

I’ve just been shopping so I’ll take prn when I get home. Maybe that will

slow the anxiety down. 

She didn’t ask whether I was safe… 

Re: I can’t cope

I understand that you held back @Captain24 but I hope you'll be compasionate towards yourself today ❤️

I hope the prn helps and brings some comfort 

How're the thoughts today, are you feeling safe for now?

Re: I can’t cope

After hurting my CM I don’t deserve compassion. @lavenderhaze.

 

Im not sure 

Re: I can’t cope

Howdy @Captain24 I've jumped on for tonight! Here with ya.

 

Just thinking about compassion, and who deserves it... and I think we can feel like we don't deserve compassion, but in the end it's not really up to us to decide whether or not someone ought to give it to us. I've got oodles of compassion here for you, and I am not wanting to show it (or not show it) because of anything you've done, but because you're human and I believe you deserve it simply because I know you to be a thinking, feeling being. 

 

Anyway before I get too rambley, I will send you some huggles 🫂 and offer some chats if you want em 💜

Re: I can’t cope

I’ve made a whole big mess of things @Jynx. I just keep making things harder for myself. I can’t be trusted. I don’t do things right. I’m useless. I’m stupid. I’m scared. I don’t see the point. I’m pretty sure it’s just time to give up. I’ve had enough. I don’t want to. I don’t care to. I feel like I’m done. 

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 no mess too big that it can't be cleaned up hun. I can hear that your brain is potentially spiralling a bit, and making some very black and white statements about yourself. 

 

You've been in this darkness before. It's very easy to get lost in it. Sometimes the best flashlight is to focus on the simple stuff, is there one small self-care thing you can do for yourself? Even just a hot cuppa. I'll pop the kettle on 💜

Re: I can’t cope

I’m sitting on the lounge with my 2 babies. @Jynx 

 

I really don’t feel well. 


Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 aww cuddle pile! 

 

Mm your system all over the place, I get it. What kind of unwell, like nauseous or something different? 

Re: I can’t cope

Something different @Jynx 

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 mm rough either way. Is there some small piece of self-care you could muster?
