    I'm slowly getting back to normal-ish times now @Laura_tigger82 - getting into bed before 10pm but I'm still waking up at like 3am and getting tired in the day. Yesterday I did try to take a nap at like 6pm and ended up sleeping until 5am because I was too miserable to get out of bed. :D

    Sounds like you are making lots of progress @Past User, well done! I recognise it's not always easy to correct sleeping patterns.

    Hopefully, you'll be able to stay asleep for longer as time passes so you're not so tired in the day. Even that extra 2 hours from 3 am to 5 am sounds like a positive stepping stone.

    You mentioned being too miserable yesterday, how are you feeling today? Here for you if you would like to share more with us <3

    Hey
  • Past UserPast User Posts: 0 Just got here
    I'm not sure to be honest. I guess I'm okay, aside from being self-conscious about certain things. But I'm struggling to understand why my thoughts are so relentlessly awful, aside from habit of course. I've been enjoying and engaged in different conversations today, and the instant I stopped those distractions, I started thinking the usual, torturous "you're a piece of shit" mantra. I would really love if my idle state of mind wasn't like that anymore. :s

    It sounds difficult that you are feeling self-conscious about certain things @Past User. Would you like to share a little more with us about this?

    You only need to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. However, I can hear that your thoughts are relentlessly awful and you are having a difficult time with this.

    Really glad to hear that other than this you are okay and have been enjoying and engaging in different conversations today.

    The distractions sound really useful for you, particularly in reducing the loudness of those thoughts. Is there anything, in particular, which might help you to stay distracted tonight? :)

    Thanks @Laura_tigger82. I think I might, but not here and not tonight.

    I'm probably going to try to get some sleep soon, I've been awake for a while now so I'm super tired. Plus I'm sick of fighting with my phone to type messages. :D

    @FordRanger Glad you are ok. I am ok too thank you. How has your week been so far? :)

    @Past User That’s absolutely ok, only in your own time and if you want to. Just know we are here for you and so are many others if you would ever like to talk about it. Hope you sleep well and your phone behaves soon :)

    @independent_ Hey from me! Hopefully, Leyla will be able to respond to you soon. I am good thank you. Would anything help you with feeling less bored? :)

    @Laura_tigger82 , it's been not too bad. I was saying on the support thread, that mention this much until recently on the group chat, because I was a bit embarrassed but I only have my automatic licence and that's kind of sometimes effected myself esteem so I'm thinking of actually upgrading to my manual licence. I think it's worth it, I drove a manual on private land just yesterday or the day before and did good so hopefully ill smash it .

    Hey @Laura_tigger82 lovely to see you too, didn't mean to make you feel left out there at all. Yeah hopefully @leyla26 sees this soon too.

    Glad you're doing good!! I'm enjoying a night by myself, my niece is coming up tomorrow and I'm babysitting her, so have to actually be a responsible adult!! Might play some games tonight and just got some tunes on and a few drinks. How's your day been?

    @FordRanger It sounds really positive that you have managed to get some experience with this as it sounds like something that's really important to you. Yay for doing good, well done :)

    Not at all @independent_! Just thought I would say hello too. Really lovely to hear you are enjoying a night by yourself.

    Good luck with babysitting your niece and being a responsible adult - hope it goes well. It sounds really chilled for you tonight with games, tunes and drinks.

    My day has been ok thank you. Glad it is the weekend - I am sure I won't be alone in this! :)

    I had a breakdown today. That was fun. Not. I suppose that it was going to end up happening sooner or later.

    You're absolutely not alone @Laura_tigger82 I'm glad it's the weekend too. Don't have to think about these courses i have to do for 48 hours!

    I will need luck for being responsible, as @Dancer can confirm that is definitely not me!!

    Thank you so much. I felt really embarrassed especially as it was at gymnastics during my volunteering session but thankfully all the kids were busy doing their warm-up. I nearly got sent home because of it but thankfully didn't because that would have just made things worse.

    @Dancer As Shrek says, it's better out than in. It might not have felt good in the moment but hopefully you can feel a bit lighter now that some of that tension and anxiety has been released <3
