Be gentle with yourself. 🩵
Oh gosh I hope she is doing okay right now and is receiving the best care that she can get. That sounds tough for you right now.
I cant be bothered with living a life i keep screwing up in one way or another. I feel so done with everything now
I hear that it feels like you can't get anything right, and at the same time, it sounds to me like you have a huge amount of care for those around you - and in fact, you're trying really, really hard. And this is your first time on Planet Earth too! You're trying your very best, and it sounds exhausting to have to keep feeling like you've screwed up.
Can I ask if you feel physically safe right now, and if so, can you share with us how you're keeping safe?
Hey @nem , thank you for sharing this, and it sounds like dating had felt really deeply distressing for you at times. That is valid, and dating can bring up so much for us in terms of old wounds or fears. Can I ask, are you feeling physically able to keep yourself safe right now, and if so, can you also please let us know how you are able to do this?
When you feel triggered by dating, what does this typically look like?
I wonder how you've been looking after yourself through the dating process too, and whether you'd feel able to take a pause if dating was having a negative impact on your mental health? You deserve to take things at your own pace, and most certainly, to feel safe every single step of the way.
We're here to listen and explore this with you.
We're here to listen without any judgement!
I fucked up because i caused my boyfriend to overthink and sit with his thoughts which he nearly cried with and then I made him think he made me uncomfortable which he didnt which made him overthink more. Then just work is so messed up right now and I cant do that anymore. Had a kooth counselling session and they are going to contact CEDT to see what support they can put in place etc.
I've just been sat since early hours of this morning crying and thinking. Making plans, hurting myself just anything to take the mental pain away.
Keep us posted if you wish to, and we're all here for you. Take so much care.
The staff team will be dropping you a DM to check in further.
@Sian321 thanks for replying to this, I've been doing it because I was overwhelmed, I did it a few times this week when I usually wouldn't, I guess kind of border too.
* im safe im just angry *
