Hey @Sian321, thanks for checking in. I really appreciate the effort you put into supporting everyone here even though our circumstances are all so different, that means a lot.

It's kind of difficult to explain but I've been struggling with my mental health more than usual this past week, it's just been a lot to deal with and I've broke down crying several times which feels embarrassing, since I usually try my best to stay strong and not fall apart. But slowing down and doing comforting things is really helpful when I feel like this - especially warm cups of coffee, reading, and I also like watching Bluey when things are difficult. I'll never get too old for Bluey lol

I can’t sleep right now, and I’m just crying and feel like I’m on the verge of a panic attack. I hate myself for this right now

Hey @Lottie5433, I just wanted to check in. I'm sorry to hear about last night, that sounds really upsetting. How are feeling today? We're here for you

Hi @Nemuritai , last night was upsetting didn’t sleep for ages and was up most of the night. Today I’m just feeling exhausted and like I kinda want to push my bf away, he thinks something is up but I can’t talk about what’s wrong with me with anyone

Hey @Lottie5433 , how are you doing this morning? It sounds like it might have been a really difficult night. What was happening for you? We're here to listen if you'd feel comfortable sharing.

Hi @Sian321 , I’m not great this morning, I’m exhausted and tired, don’t really want to eat or do anything and then there are some not helpful thoughts etc. I’m not sure what was happening really, I went to bed fine woke up at like 12:30ish to find my bf wasn’t next to me - which I guess scared me. Turns out he was sleeping on the sofa but I don’t know what it was I just couldn’t cope with the fact he wasn’t with me. So I tried going back to sleep but like I couldn’t instead I cried and had a panic attack (not helpful when my asthma is not great either) then I couldn’t cope and started hitting myself on the head because that was the only thing that seemed to help everything. I thought playing a game or watching TikTok would help but it didn’t. So just sat crying until I fell asleep at like 3am and then woke up in a panic at 5/6am and then woke up at 8am and got ready for the day.
I can just feel more panic coming on like my body is shaking and I can feel my heart beating and like I can feel everything in my body.
Sorry for the long message back, appreciate you and others checking in

I might have to go to this football get together and I don’t really want to go

@Lottie5433 sorry for the late reply. That sounds like a really difficult night and it's understandable you feel exhausted now. It sounds really hard to deal with, and you're so brave for keeping on going and getting through each day. I know that can be hard sometimes, especially when the panic arrives like that. I truly hope you're able to get a little more rest tonight, and please take care of yourself. You matter so much to the people around you, and to this community, and we're all here for you if you need someone to listen. Sending virtual hugs

@Jack25 It sounds like such an exhausting situation and it is great to hear that CRHT were there to stand up for you and help you feel heard. I’m very sorry that despite all of that, you’re still being left without a clear plan or meaningful support. Having to cope with neurological side-effects while being told you have to wait until late January to even see someone is such an heavy thing to carry and it makes total sense that you’re feeling overwhelmed. You deserve support now, not months down the line.
I really hope things start moving in a better direction for you soon , that the symptoms ease and that someone finally steps in and gives you the care you should already have. In the meantime, please know that you’re not alone here. This community is here with you and we care about you.

@eylah No need to apologise at all
You’re going through a lot and it’s absolutely okay to step back when you need to.
Thank you for checking in, it means a lot. I really hope things ease up for you soon and you deserve all the care and kindness you give to everyone here. We care about you and we’re here for you whenever. Hope you’re all doing okay too.

@Lottie5433 I’m so sorry you had a night like that. You don’t deserve to feel that kind of pain. Please remember that it is completely okay to feel this way and as humans we do get overwhelmed. You are still cared for, valued and more than enough exactly as you are. We are holding space for you here and you are not alone.

Hi

Ech0 · November 27

@Nemuritai hello how are you
I am really sorry to hear how tough this week has been for you. Sometimes, trying to hold everything together can feel exhausting and allowing yourself to slow down and take a break is such an important and brave thing to do. It is lovely that you’re finding little ways to comfort yourself with coffee, reading, and even Bluey (never too old for Bluey I agree). Those small things can really help when life feels like too much, and it’s wonderful that you’re giving yourself that care. And there is nothing wrong with crying because it is a completely natural way to work through difficult things. Crying is one of the ways you can release what’s been building up inside and I think that’s really brave. Even the people who seem the strongest sometimes break down, and that doesn’t take away from their strength at all because crying is a part of being human and feeling deeply.
It’s okay to take things slowly, to give yourself space, and to focus on the things that help you feel safe and cared for. We’re here to listen if you ever feel like sharing more about what you’re going through.

@Ech0 thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words. I'm doing okay right now, I felt quite triggered earlier but I feel better now

How are you doing?
