Thank you for clarifying that though, this week is bound to bring up a lot of strong feelings. Is there anything you can do in the lead up to the anniversary as a form of self care?
Keep talking, Chloe- we are all here for you every step of the way
Is she back now @River?
We hear you @FordRanger and we're all right beside you with this. I can really hear how tough things are feeling at the moment - it's positive that you're feeling safe.
Life is definitely tough sometimes - it's not an easy ride for many of us. Remember that you're on your own unique journey and we all do things at our own pace. I wonder if it might be helpful for you to write some of these feelings down, and list some of those things you'd love to get the chance to do, with some small steps on how you could reach those goals? Sometimes I find that helpful.
@Gemma hopefully it won't ever come to a point where I'm ever unsafe.
Yh its really tough sometimes. That might be helpful to do. My goals do seem a bit hard to achieve and all the right now but I've still got loads of time to achieve them. Thanks so much for your reply too. I would probably be struggling a lot without this community, I'm glad I joined and have not left or anything.
I'm so sorry to hear this @Chloe234, I can really hear how much you're hurting right now. News like this can be so hard-hitting, especially when we see someone we love so unwell. I'm sending lots of strength and hugs to you and your family.
When you say you're not going to get to say goodbye, do you know if you are able to visit your aunt?
We're here for you
Hey @IainJammyboy - just wanted to drop in to let you know we're here for you and sending you lots of strength and hugs. It sounds really tough that your early psychosis team are refusing to see you and that your psychiatrist hasn't been helpful either. I'm really hearing how isolating this is all feeling.
When you say you phoned a welfare commission charity - is this an advocacy service?
It's so brave of you to keep reaching out and looking for support for yourself, Iain. We're right here with you.
I didn't think we would but I've spoke to dad and he said we're going to try go see her sooner rather than later, it's just so so hard bc our aunt did so much for us and she doesn't deserve to have to go through this. She's only in her 40s too
