    Saw the crisis team they was nice
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    @Shaunie

    Thanks for updating us. It is great to hear support is in place and that you found it beneficial. Will you be having follow-up support with them? I am just wondering how long-term their support can be.

    @GreenTea

    Resting is good too! I have been watching Netflix. In particular, I have discovered Shawn Mendes Live in Concert =)

    @GreenTea

    Chilling sounds like a great plan. Have you found any good games or apps on your phone?

    I am glad your bruising is going down

    @Shaunie

    Aww, cuddles with pets are the best. Thanks for continuing to share pet photos with us. Is this a photo of Teddy you have already shared on the pet thread? If not, can I please encourage you to also post it there?

    How are you feeling about DBT skills? <3

    Shops, places of eating etc closed again, work from home order, no more than 6 indoors and outdoors.
    Basically all the rules like before.
    I feel prepared this time. Got plans for lockdown to keep me busy

    @GreenTea

    Thanks for all of the information. It is difficult to stay on top of it all especially when my daily life remains the same. I am super glad to hear you feel prepared. Is there anything you feel could help our community with this? What would you have liked to have seen in place last time that wasn't?

    @Shaunie

    Aww yay, pet snuggles! Pets have lots of love to give and they do know when we aren't feeling our best :)

    @GreenTea

    I believe you.

    The tips may help me directly and they may also help me to help others when the time comes.

    If you would feel comfortable sharing your tips, they would be greatly appreciated.

    I am sorry to hear you are struggling. Would you like to discuss what is making you struggle? And how you are feeling?

    I hope the blanket helps you to feel comfortable and more relaxed.

    @Shaunie

    I know you do! It seems like you have a great bond with your dog :)

    Though, if you could please share your photos on the pet thread, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I never would have found the pet thread yesterday if it wasn't for you and I want more people to find the thread. Animals can be really uplifting.

    @Laura_tigger82 just horrible because one minute he was fine the next he was struggling to breathe and died. How can a happy and healthy dog just suddenly die like that? He was my emotional support when I was around him. He'd sit on me to keep me safe, sit next to me when I was crying and he would just be there. It's just horrible and I miss him a lot.

    I'm really sorry @GreenTea :/

    I am really glad to hear he was your emotional support. It sounds like your dog was your security too. I always found that with mine too! They are wonderful.

    A sudden death like that must be frightening and upsetting. I hope it is a sign that he wasn't supposed to struggle for too long.

    However, sometimes, there is truly no reason for some bad things.

    All you can do is remember how wonderful he is and hope he's at peace now.

    Though there are no words I can say to make this better, I am listening and I care <3
