Just echoing @amy22 's words,
It's so nice to hear that despite how scared you were that you pushed yourself and reconnected with your family and it's great to hear that you got support with reaching out to them. We're all super proud of you its so lovely that you're sharing your journey with us here

Re: (TW: mentions of rape) I’m terrified for my mums life

so sry to hear this the system is letting the wrong ppl out of prison. from a girl myself i would recommend if your going outside take someone with you also if your going out at night and noone is with you make sure to stay where theres traffic and make sure to stay where theres light bc ppl will be around. if you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe pls call 999 or go to a shop or approach someone and explain bc your safety is priority. im here for you 🩷

Re: i keep blaming myself for mum death. 💔

Hi @eylah, thanks so much for your message.

It sounds like this week has been particulary dreadful for you with the nightmares you're experiencing. This process of grieving you're going through sounds so intense and overwhelming. Grief has no timeline so please be gentle with yourself as you go through this. Before going to sleep, what does your routine look like? I know for myself it can be helpful to practice some calming exercises so my mind feels better prepared to go into a state of sleep and relaxation. Here's a link that speaks a bit more about that: https://www.calm.com/blog/how-to-prevent-nightmares
Does this feel like something you'd be interested in checking out?

If you're willing to share, I'd love to hear about some positive memories you had with your mum. The fact that you're coming on here and talking about what's been going on for you is so brave.

Sending lots of care, @eylah. We're all holding you in mind.
