I can’t cope

[AuntGlow]

Good question. I have been working on this lately and it's bloody hard!! But something that has been helping is saying to myself, 'Am I activated/triggered right now? Yes? Okay, maybe the way I am seeing things isn't the most accurate. I am going to revisit these thoughts when I am feeling more grounded.' Then I look at safe distractions, connecting with others, soothing practices (like a shower, a cry, some movement, or a comfort show). Could you try anything like this right now? You're already reaching out here, so you've got the connection box ticked! @Captain24 🥰

I didn’t do everything this morning. I tried really hard and couldn’t push myself hard enough. I tried but ended up making myself sick. I crashed really hard. I’ve just had dinner and so far have kept it down. Usually the withdrawal starts later on tonight @tyme

You might need these. I just saw it in the aldi catalogue. @Captain24

That's no good @Captain24 .

What do you think would be helpful at the moment? Going to bed? Exercise? Spending time with your babies? Making a phone call to a crisis line or to someone else?

It’s pointless going to bed as I didn’t sleep well last night without the med and I tried to have a sleep this afternoon and I can’t switch off enough. @tyme 

Im watching home and away. The only person I could call is my best friend but she just has dramas and I don’t want to hear it. 

I just want to curl up in a ball and cry. 

Im wondering whether all the energy I’ve had was hypomania. I was feeling really good! Yesterday was a massive day and was really proud. I did also post a picture of simba yesterday. Tagged you just incase you popped in.

I’m watching home and away and then MasterChef. @AuntGlow.

Im not triggered I don’t think. I think there may be more to it. But I’m not sure. 

I’ve been feeling really good lately and haven’t given negative thoughts too much attention.

"I just want to curl up in a ball and cry" - I think this might be exactly what your body is asking for @Captain24 💛

I haven't seen Simba yet. I'll go back and have a look. I've got 101+ notifications to go through @Captain24 . That's why I hate taking time off!

[Captain24]

It’s ok @tyme. I know you are busy.

I don’t know if I can let go @AuntGlow
