    Chat helped a bit because I was struggling earlier, but Im just fed up with my situation, Ive had not much sleep so just on my phone instead of sleeping so my screen time is extremely high and its only a matter of time till get comments again.

    @Redemption

    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.

    @Redemption
    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 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.

    im numb

    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 :heart:
  • so_very_tiredso_very_tired Posts: 482 Listening Ear
    Thanks @Nemuritai. I have no idea what to talk about because I have no idea why I'm feeling this was in the first place.

    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 :heart:

    @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.

    @eylah hope everything went well and smoothly with the scan today , congratulations for completing it as I know it mustn’t have been easy

    @so_very_tired That sounds very heavy and I am really sorry you are feeling this way. It is okay to not have it all figured out. Even when it feels hard, just showing up here is a big step. You’re not alone in this and you don’t have to go through it by yourself. If you ever wish to share anything, we will listen.

    @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 :heart:
