Hey Everyone!

-

Here is this week's space to chat or vent about things which you think may be more triggering for the Community but you still want to get off your chest.

-

Every Monday morning we will close the thread and start a new one so we have a fresh one each week. If you'd like to check out this week's venting thread that isn't triggering, clickย here.

    I've been feeling suicidal and have had a lot of thoughts about acting on that. everything in my life and head feels far too overwhelming right now, and that is the only way my brain can think to cope with it

    but, on a positive note, i've been completely clean since this episode started. I've handled it pretty well so far (:

    hi @thetiefling are you feeling safe currently, we are here for you. Send big ๐Ÿซ‚โ€™s (if you comfortable with them)

  • Lottie5433Lottie5433 Community Connector Posts: 1,276 Wise Owl

    I started my meds again after not being on them for about 2 months and now Iโ€™m getting weird anxiety symptoms

  • thetieflingthetiefling Posts: 16 Settling in

    i'm feeling safe right now, ty for asking < 3

    also, i'm sorry you're feeling anxious :( some meds that i've been on in the past have made me feel that way too - i understand, it's horrible

  • Lottie5433Lottie5433 Community Connector Posts: 1,276 Wise Owl

    Iโ€™m glad you feel safe @thetiefling of at any point you donโ€™t feel safe do you have anyone you could reach out to or any helplines.

    I think I only feel like this because I know Iโ€™ve taken them (only half dose) after being off them for so long. It isnโ€™t nice really

    Why do people share pictures of their stillborn baby, particularly on a group chat? I understand that it is a really difficult time and it`s sad that the baby died never getting to live but that sort of content can be really triggering or upsetting.
