@River it sucks. I want to sleep too, but my brothers still awake. We'll manage to get to sleep eventually.
Anyway, picked up any new hobbies at all?
Yeah insomnia and MADD are my new hobbies 😂😂😂
@River I can't sleep until he does. And he won't sleep until he physically is too tired to do anything. He's not mentally capable of understanding the notion of needing sleep, or sleep schedules, he has no concept of it, so he'll just keep going until he pretty much can't help but fall asleep from sheer tiredness. Sleeping tablets aren't effective anymore, and I have to be ready to put a helmet on him at any moment if he starts a headbanging episode, which happen randomly, which means i have to stay awake lol. It's been this way for me since I was 11, so I'm used to it. And yeah, he has bad nights all the time, sometimes good ones. Been a bad night for the last few nights in a row though sadly, so tomorrow will likely be a good one 😂.
Got to say, interesting hobby picks 😂😂😂 How's Ariel hoop going?
I hope things get better with your brother so you can sleep
Ikr there the best hobbies 😂
Hoop is going okay although my hands are actually fucked and the back of my knees are green, purple, blue bruising 😂
@River ah yes, but you can speak, and understand what words mean, and actually know who I am. You're a step above him rn 😂
Always the best hobbies. Have you tried paranoia too, it's a really fun pass time 😂😂😂
And painful stuff, give it time, and go again 😂. I'm stuck at home now till my damn leg heals, and have been trying to find new hobbies myself, all I've found is loneliness and a book I read in A&E 😂
is there anything i can do to make your night better?
@River day 4 of letting you know you are cared about on this community. You've given so much kindness to others, and deserve even more kindness back, and even though you've been through hell, you're still standing, and still moving forward day by day. I'm proud of you. We all are. You should be proud of yourself too.
@Redemption Yeah, all good thanks bro, how did things go today for you?
@DonnerKebab went ok thanks, just looking at my next steps with work next, went for a trim too, what about you?
@Redemption tried going out with crutches to my brothers school summer fait, met mario and luigi, ate pizza, came home and bought another pizza cause mario's one was crap 😂 and then watched my brother all day. Interesting day.
Bet it's a sick trim. Which style did you get?
And next steps sounds good. You're getting there bit by bit brother, well done. I'm proud of you, because so many would just throw in the towel, but here you are, still trying, still pushing, despite all the setbacks, still self improving and whilst you have that spirit, you're going to get far.
not rly.
i cba might just leave tbh.
@DonnerKebab its just so great you do all that for your bro. I got a 3 skin fade, always got that l. Thanks so much mate, i wish you the best too.
Sounds like last night and yesterday might have been very hard. How're you doing this morning? Wanted to check in.
We're here for you.
hey @Sian321 im feeling like utter shit today and it won’t go away. i just cba.
im safe though
sending hugs (if youre comfortable with them right now).
I hear that you can't be bothered right now, and it sounds like you might be very tired.
I hope you can go gently with yourself today and find some little pockets of comfort. I will share a little meditation here below if helpful at all:
