Hey @JJLemon18, it's okay to not know how you are feeling, it's normal to go through up and down periods of time, so you are not alone
Have you done anything to make yourself feel happy this week? i have been watching loads of Christmas movies to cheer me up and to help make me feel festive! how about you?
it sounds like you're having trouble sleeping. is it still a struggle for you now or has it got a little better?
the community is here for you
I'm now in Poland to spend Christmas with family so that's making me very happy and excited
Thank you
Also I may have figured out why I was in a weirdly good mood. It could be because I'm feeling so bad that it's just a way for me to cope with it. Though its still very strange how feeling bad bad can make my humor skyrocket for some reason.

Please keep going and keep safe @River

Sending lots of hugs your way @River. We're here for you
If you need urgent help, remember these services are always a call or message away. Keep going and remember how strong you are
That sounds really tough @Millie2787 and @AnonymousToe, it can be so hard trying to get through the day without sleep. I've found a really helpful page on Headspace's website all about how to stop nightmares that might be helpful reading through - https://www.headspace.com/sleep/nightmares. I really hope they stop for you both and you're able to sleep properly soon
It’s so hard when nobody can even see the stuff you’re going through
Hope you feel better soon and can get some sleep
I'm hearing how much you're going through right now @River, it sounds so tough to be experiencing and you've been so brave to reach out here.

Whilst we can't safely support you with age regression on the discussion boards, we'd really encourage you to reach out to a 1-1 support service who can. You really deserve this support
