I am sorry that you haven't been sleeping well, I wish I could give you tips to maybe help with your sleep but I have sleep issues myself.
I am glad chat earlier helped you, sorry that I wasn't on chat today, I was having a really busy and rough day.
@Animalloverb Im sorry you had a rough day too thank you for replying. You dont need to apologise for not coming on chat. If there's anything we can do to help you know where we are.
I appreciate it, but there isn't really anything that anyone can do.
And no problem, I am trying to do better with supporting people again since I have done awfully these past few months.
Its completely ok to focus on yourself too @Animalloverb , your support is definitely appreciated but its no problem if you havent been as supportive recently
@eylah hey eylah, how are you?
my scan for my abdomen is tmr. scared and anxious. hru?
@eylah a little bit better than usual thanks. Had my assessment meeting with CMHT today.
I really hope it goes okay for you at the hospital. You deserve to get whatever it is sorted out, and i know it must be terrifying for you. You're incredibly brave for doing this, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself.
And @Nathan I hope the assessment went okay. I'm here if you'd like to talk about it (and I should be at the saturday support thread as well)
hugs @Nathan . im proud of you
@Nemuritai thankyou hope you’re ok
@eylah aw I'm glad it went okay. I'm proud of you
Hey @so_very_tired, I'm sorry you feel numb at the moment. Would it help to talk about anything? I can personally understand how that feels and I'm here for you if you need someone to listen
I totally get that, it's completely fine to not know why you feel a certain way. I honestly feel numb quite a lot, and what can help a lot is simply acknowledging the feeling and sitting with it if you need to. Acknowledging that you feel numb is in itself a really strong thing to be able to do. And of course, if you need to vent about anything or just chat, we're always here for you
@eylah thanks, that really does mean a lot to me.
And well done for managing to get through that and getting the scan done. We're all immensely proud of you, and i'm super glad that it's worked out okay for you.
@Nemuritai thanks a million. The session was quite long, they extended it twice, but i got nearly everything across thankfully, so there bringing everything back to the MDT to determine what next. They can see the damage the whole system has done to me, and the extent of what i've gone through.
Also, i just wanted to say that you're giving so much support to others, i'm here if you want to talk about things too and get support for yourself too.
@Nathan no problem at all. I'm genuinely happy you were able to get things across and talk about what happened. I really hope you're able to get some support, you really do deserve it.
And I really appreciate that, it does mean a lot
Sorry for the late reply @Ech0 I might discuss me being back here later or I might show up todays support chat, maybe anyway not sure yet.
