    I had to have a tiny few stitches earlier. It was a stressy day. Staying with my mam for a few days so that's positive. The nurse was talking to me about coping mechanisms and pointed out that I use distraction and humour and told me that it's okay to feel things. It made me think about stuff, I know what she said is true but I don't think humour is a bad coping mechanism like there's no harm in it but idk maybe its better if I do let myself feel things lol I feel I move on from things quite quickly though. ah well

    really hope youre ok. glad youre with mum. you deserve to feel safe. <3

    Hey @Slinky how are you doing today? :)

    Definitely sounds like a stressy day - I'm really sorry this happened to you. You only ever deserve care and kindness. <3

    It's definitely common to use humour to cope - I'm probably the same. But equally you are allowed moments to feel things and to let your emotions out. If you can find the time to take yourself off to feel those things, that's all a healthy thing to do.

    Really getting worked up. Somethings wrong with my dog. I'm trying to message people but no ones awake. Last time bora was like this she needed surgery. But she's old so the vets probably won't and dad will probably take the easier option. What if I lose her. She's so restless. She won't stop whimpering or panting or shaking her head or pacing

    I'm so sorry @Chloe234 this sounds so worrying. How is Nora today? <3

    She's just been sleeping all day. I'm probably just paranoid but now she's older and I've sorta lost everything else I guess I'm more worried.
    I told dad and he said just to keep an eye on it. I just feel that if it led to another surgery, because of her age I feel like they'd take a different option. I just can't lose her.

    @Gemma my mum spoke to my mental health team today and apparently what's happening is they're giving me daily phone calls to assess wether I need to be in hospital or not??? That's what I was told

    @spacedog I haven't heard of them doing this before! How are you feeling about that?

    It would be better if they could actually offer you some support, rather than just assessing your need to be in hospital, wouldn't it. I'm guessing they didn't offer anything else tangible that could be helpful?

    I'm sorry things are so bad at the minute @spacedog, we're sending you so much strength. <3

    @Gemma nevermind I'm not getting anymore phone calls - hospitals not going to be an option and my psychiatric nurse said I need to stop putting myself in hospital just for attention - which I'm not. Nothings happening in terms of support anymore
