A little reminder 🫶🏼
Hey everyone ☺️,
I wanted to share a message with you all today. A little remind you that you’re doing the very best you can and I hope you know that is enough 🫶🏼.
It’s perfectly ok to have those bad days and setbacks. They’ll come and go, even though, deep down, it can feel like those days last forever. I know how that feels, I’ve been there too. That trapped feeling, when you want to move forward, but the weight of past experiences and/or emotions hold you back. I get it.
But here’s the thing..you’ve got this!
Getting through each day is enough. Everyday is a step forward. Giving yourself time and patience is enough. Go at your own pace, don’t rush your healing for anyone else. ❤️ This is your journey.
And remember, healing isn’t a straight line. It’s a storm you learn to dance in. Some days, ‘enough’ is just breathing. That counts too!
No matter what you’re going through, you are important. You are deserving. Even if you don’t feel like it right now, even if those inner voices try to convince you otherwise..don’t listen to them.
You’re doing enough.
You are enough 🫶🏼

carers and SH
i got told to `save it for therapy` but they pay attention to others, coz they hav addiction problems, which i dont
. wat would b the proper way 4 carers to deal with SH? theyre all ignore me atm coz they tripped up n i cant leave their mistakes they make n i shout frm roftops, it was different managment wen i arrived, n everything was gd. but wen the new g_t came in, no'ones trained. n its hard to 'comply' with theyre rules.

Re: sleep study
it definitely is an interesting topic to think about, how there is almost a whole other part of us that we don't ever see because we are asleep. if it is something you are interested in then go for it in terms of doing it again. It could be interesting to see if there are any patterns that appear most nights, as well as potential differences.
I might even be tempted to give it a go myself, if i remember to do it before I fall asleep.
If you do try it again let us know how it goes (if you want to that is)

Re: Feeling alone
