rough time

Re: rough time

They more than often do work out eventually @outlander
Thats how time is.

Re: rough time

Yeah
Just have to manage in the meantime

Re: rough time

Have a look back on some of the stuff I've sent you, or wherever you've kept it @outlander

 

Is there anything you want to do with me? Have you tried grounding, square breathing, 5senses? I understand you've done these before, and they may only help for a little while, but better to have a little relief than none.

 

What about HC or SCBS? I'm just throwing some things out there to try to help.

 

Regardless, I'm right here beside you. I see your struggles, and you can lean on your Big Sis until you come out the other side of this.

 

 

Re: rough time

ive had a read of some of it @Sans911 i usually read it after you send it so most is still amongst the threads. ive still got the emotions one saved on my phone though.


i dont know what to do. ive been crochetting, and went for a walk yesterday, and doing other self care things like hot baths. i am tired though, but im not sleeping either.


there just seems to be so much popping up in my mind, i cant keep up. i feel like such a burden even to here. its making things really hard to talk at all. i dont want to be negative and need more help but i know i need it.

i tried to connect a few times to a helpline but i cant bring myself to do it again, i click on but then click off then try again but i cant do it. it sounds stupid, thats is what they are there for.

Re: rough time

You're never a burden to me @outlander

But I understand how and why you think that way. And you're putting in time for self care so well done.

 

It sounds like like lots of rumination or overthinking going on in that head of yours. Perhaps could you see everything that is going through your head as thoughts on clouds passing by, or leaves on a stream.

 

It's your thoughts that are negative lil Sis, not you. Remember that. Your thoughts are not you. You aren't defined by your thoughts. Sometimes we just get on a roundabout of negative thoughts and find it hard to get off.

 

It's not stupid to not know what to say on the helplines. Obviously you're so overwhelmed you don't know where to start.

 

But guess what? You're talking to me right, and this last post of yours is a lot longer than the others. It if helps to talk to me, then do so @outlander

Something special for my lil Sis

@outlander

 

Re: rough time

i cant see the pics yet @Sans911

yeah lots of different things happening in my head, lots of memories too from so many things. i dont know what is bringing them on. they just are there.

i am trying to talk to you, i have lots of the blocking emotions and thoughts that are telling me that i shouldnt be talking and burdening anyone and that i dont deserve this support and to run and hide again.

Re: rough time

It's really hard to counter those negative emotions isn't it? They go on and on and on. Drowning out all sense and other thoughts. But you know this isn't you. This is your negative thoughts. And they are lying to you.

 

Because you know deep down your definitely not a burden. You do deserve support as much as anyone else. And you have my support and others anytime you need it. I'm always here for you, because I care about you, I care what happens to you. In the last year that I've known you, you've brought something special into my life. Knowing you has helped immensely in saving my life. I mean that. There's so much love, tenderness and care that you give to me and others. You are incredibly special to me, and I know one day, all that compassion, care and kindness will serve you well in whatever employment you take up. People will be better off for knowing you.

 

You know despite the negative thoughts telling you otherwise, being here is a good thing, it's distracting for you, here you are supported and cared about.

 

Just let's go hour by hour for now. You're doing great right now staying here. I'm glad you're here.

 

 

Re: rough time

Aw i can see the pics now @Sans911 hes a cutie. He looks quite comfortable laying how he is even though it looks quite awkward.

Thats rather special what you just wrote. The feelings are very much reciprocated from me to you as well ❤

Ok, going hr by hr sounds like a good idea. Thanks for being here with me and those under the likes/following along too.

Re: rough time

The pic of Jasper with his leg underneath him was last night. He was totally out to out, as he is now, but not in same position. But he laid like that for ages, then rolled a little, and it moved but wasn't out. He didn't seem phased at all.

 

Mr A went to the vet today for a check up. I took him to a student clinic at a Tafe college. It was about half the price of a normal vet, but they were very thorough. I have to try to get a wee sample off him. Hmmm, could be interesting. I'll take Jasper in a few weeks. They've both been pretty well behaved of late. It's good for me.
