@Bow some sunshine with your kitty sounds lovely. I really want to adopt one too, but an indoor one. They are so cute, fluffy and will make your dark days easier.

@Eve7 ohhh an exercise bike in the sun sounds perfect.

I think I came down with something, so been cooped up at home, but feeling a lot better now.

Yeah that’s why I got my little kitty @creative_writer  for therapy in a way. I already had a cat but he literally hates everyone in the house. My new kitty is so soft and affectionate. Loves to snuggle.

Even the memories and flashbacks don’t do justice to the absolute horribleness of what is going on inside at the moment.

Hi @Bow,

I'm really sorry to read about how you are feeling at the moment. That sounds like a really hard and challenging way to feel - I really hope these difficult feelings pass for you very soon.

Please take comfort from knowing that we are here for you - you have so much support and concern from your friends here on the forums.  

Sending you big hugs, take care,

FloatingFeather

I'm hearing things are really hard at the moment @Bow I'm wondering when you are next seeing your Psych? Sending strength 🤗

[Bow]

Thanks @Paperdaisy @FloatingFeather 

i see my psychologist tomorrow @Paperdaisy if I can manage to get myself there. I seen my case manager this afternoon, it was rough. I nearly didn’t make it. Have been in a really bad headspace today and ended up having to leave cause I couldn’t sit in there anymore. CM said that she could arrange an admission if I felt I needed it. 

I’ve not been physically well today either, CM wanted me to go to my gp or hospital. But I said no. 

just don’t know what to do anymore. I am so anxious about having to face the coming 2 weeks and I’m scared that it’s all gonna get too much and I will put an end to it all.

@Bow I think it will be good for you to get there. I know you can do it. Based on what you've said, It sounds like the CM is trying to help you? I'm going to send you an email 💝

@Bow  has your psych given you strategies to deal with this upcoming traumatic anniversary? I know you did a Safety Plan recently...

I hope your physical unwellness eases, and good luck with getting to your psych today...

Sending 💜
