Hi @Jynx
Thanks
Just lots happening, lots on my mind.
Have you ever wanted just to disappear from everything?

I'm sorry about Mr Shaz @Shaz51 I hope he has a better night tonight.
You have to look after him with everything you are going through too.

@Snowie used to feel that way all the time darlin. It sucks, and can definitely feel all-encompassing.
Is it something you think would be helpful to unpack, or would it be more helpful to distract and chat about other stuff? Up to you 💜

Some days I just wish I could shut the world out @Jynx @Shaz51
No matter what I do, it is never good enough. Things just seem to be heading downhill and I feel powerless to stop them.
@Shaz51 I don't know how you do it. Look after Mr Shaz as well as looking after your MH. How do you decide between the two?

@Snowie are they 'never good enough' because you have maybe set your standards/expectations of yourself too high hun?
Is there anything you could do to show yourself some gentle self-compassion? Even just taking some deep breaths and saying something reassuring out loud to yourself (trust me, it's more powerful if it's out loud) liiiike... "Today is a down day. Sometimes it can feel like a spiral is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be. I can be kind to myself."
