Thank you so much for sharing. I think the idea of cycling through some things until you notice a difference is such a good concept - I can imagine the repetition creates safety and familiarity and is soothing in itself. I really appreciate it xx

feeling like nothing I do is ever right or ever provides relief is hitting so hard. Ultimately I need safety but it feels impossible to create. Thank you again, I’ve made a note of your points and am going to think more about how to implement them as they really resonate. How is today for you? Xx

Thank you so much for such a beautifully thoughtful reply - the more waffle the better. It’s given me lots of food for thought. I think you are so right about rhythm and flow. In terms of shame, I’m in a spiral too. Everything I seem to do is so futile and the pure horror and lack of control and

and feel permanently mentally and physically exhausted; if you live a life where no moment feels tolerable or wanted or bearable, and you want to find a way to carve in ways to interrupt/escape/feel something different, what would you do? What would you add into your days? What would you seek?

I have a genuine question that I’d like to invite answers to please. If you had PTSD and it meant every single of minute of every day was filled with a bodily and psychological tension/hypervigilance and a racing, busy mind; if you couldn’t get any adequate physical rest without terror and anxiety

Big hugs. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope you find relief soon x

Thinking of you x

I could have written this myself. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s such a painful and invalidating fight. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best for it x

I’m so sorry to read this. I’ve had many similar falsehoods written about me, as well falsified ‘safety netting’ too. The fact that it’s more about avoiding litigation than being transparent is horrible

Unbelievably relatable unfortunately. Sending love

Hehe 😅🧩

Absolutely stunning. Great job! You’ve got more patience than me 😅x

🥄 🥄 🥄 🥄 💜

They sound like some difficult experiences, Rowena 🤗. Sorry you’re struggling so much and hope it eases a bit soon x

Jesus Christ I’m so sorry to hear that 💔. How horrible and jarring. It must have brought up so much. Thinking of you x

It must be super unpleasant. I hope you get some kind of resolution x

I’d say that at a week in, the side effects could still abate in time. Equally I’d expect the sedative effect to start immediately. Only you know your limits/what you can tolerate 💜. Is there any way to ask for some advice? X

Oh you poor thing 🥺. You’ve really been going through it lately. I’m so sorry. Hoping your healing is swift x

So sorry to hear that Debs x

That’s so very kind of you. Thank you so much for the love and hugs. Right back at you x

Thanks Debs x

sectioned, it looks like I’ll be living alone, having had no treatment, being discharged from CMHT and having to endure a non mental health trained staff member twice a week to ‘enable’ me after 24/7 care for over a decade, and being severely disabled with

has come after weeks of dumbfuckery with 3 health appointments, all of which could not have gone worse, being forced to access private dentistry with no money, another friend in ICU. And after 12 years of services and 5 years

Can we start a #3BadThings?

💜

Hope it goes well

I don’t have mine saved but someone sent me an embroidery of it — which was pretty wild!

I had an OT (who happens to be my keyworker - not that I see her) say “have you considered not having therapy and just getting involved in the community?”. I have severe C-PTSD, OCD, ED and 3 sleep disorders. Nothing that a bit of gardening can’t solve though, eh? It’s disgusting.

It’s just so bizarre that not only did they ignore her, but seemed proud of it! What an incredibly disturbing person. Hope you’re okay after that 💜

I’m so so sorry ☹️
