@rav3n I'm not sure. I've literally just sat or laid down today. I've got no energy at all. My head is a mess and I can't shake my thoughts. It's really starting to get to a scary point.

sitting down and resting sounds like a good idea @Gremlin24 i'm here with you, you're not alone 💙
would putting on a comfort show in the background help? or even some distraction chats?

Thanks @rav3n. I tried to watch a movie that always makes me laugh normally but today it just didn't. I tried to watch my show but I couldn't even focus on it and was getting frustrated.
Distractions are very much needed right now, trying so hard to avoid the dark and dangerous place that i feel is just ahead.

@Gremlin24 ahh yep hate when i have to keep replaying/restarting the episode only to keep zoning out of it!
happy to keep you company!! speaking of shows, what are some of your fav fictional characters and why? if you don't have a 'favourite' then maybe just a recent one you liked?

@rav3n i just can't even remember watching any part of them, even though the whole time I just stared at the TV.
Yeah I don't have favourites. But I'm still watching Angel and Buffy.

@Gremlin24 have you listened to solfeggio frequencies before? i've only listened to it for a 1 minute once, but its supposed to help your mind calm down and make it a lil harder for intrusive thoughts to pop up. not sure if it works for me cos i didn't try it for long enough yet.
what's angel and buffy about? what do you like about them?

@rav3n no i haven't but not sure I'm willing to try at the moment.
They are vampire shows. It's just something I grew up watching so it's a safe go to thing for me.
