So hey guys! 

Chatwee is sadly down tonight, i get this may be upsetting for people(it is for me too, was looking forward to modding!) but no fear, i figured we could have a thread here for us to chat to each other if needed, support seeking is still allowed, but treat it like you would any ol thread, and respond like you would on the boards, all boards guidelines still apply, You can read them here if unsure :)


All boring stuff aside, how is everyone? been up to anything nice over the weekend? xo

    Ah sounds difficult. Is the medication helping you?

    Sounds difficult. Do you have a safety plan in place for when your struggling? Also do you have any distractions that help you

    @Jellyelephant, what has led you to believe you are dying? have they done tests?

    @BubblesGoesBoo is there anything you enjoy doing, drawing, reading, tv ect
  • dancertoridancertori Posts: 127 The Mix Convert
    @Butterfly23 do you want to talk about it?

    @Stephanie i did used to have a safety plan, but like most of it isnt relevant anymore, and nothing really helps when im like this:(

    anyone know if Holby is on tonight, lastweek it threw my week off

  • LaineLaine Deactivated Posts: 2,762 Boards Guru
    Sorry to hear that @Jellyelephant

    I think if you're doctor told you you're not then thats very positive! it could be because you're feeling anxious, it comes with a term called "impending doom" maybe try some breathing exercises or anything you like to keep you busy? anything to distract you?

    Talking of distractions, @BubblesGoesBoo is there anything you enjoy? any movies or films you like? you could try a new show, listen to some music, get a nice bath, a good cup of tea or something? :)

    @Laine

    I had to do this list thing with someone at college, for CMHT to make sure that I mention everything that I need to in the assessment and that brought a lot of feelings up I think :(
