I'm here @Autumn_Leaf ,

Please know you don't have to do this alone. 

I hear how pervasive these thoughts are and that you are doing everything you can to work with these thoughts. 

Without trivialising things, have you ever tried talking to these thoughts? That is, acknowledging that they are there, thanking them and then moving on from there? This means, you are given those thoughts their due weight - they are only thoughts and neither positive or negative. Let the come and go.

I wish I could explain myself better. I'll see if I can find it and share an excerpt with you so it's clearer.

In the meantime, I'm here if you need company.

Hello leaf..
I know what scared is. It’s very hard. I am in a similar place - no fun mate. If it helps any, you’re not alone…."

Oh my goodness I feel your pain. I'm struggling also I just want it to end .
Do you have family support?
I hope so.
Hang in stay strong. If you want to chatt I'm here for you.
I have absolutely no support and know how hard it can be. Uni is tough but remember your still trying to push through be proud of yourself reaching out for help. That in itself shows alot of strength.

Hey @Willow_26 ,

Great to have you with us too. 

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling.

Are there things you do so you can be kinder to yourself?

@Autumn_Leaf , it sounds like many members can relate you how you are feeling at the moment.

@Willow_26 @Autumn_Leaf You are definitely not alone in how you feel.

[Willow_26]

Yes and I usually do.

 I'm unable to at the moment. I'm house bound due to chronic nerve pain and recovering from broken rib.

I can not go out walking to clear my thoughts and reground.

My thoughts are spiralling my cycle has come around again and it seems it's never going to end.

Sorry to hear that you are in pain and housebound @Willow_26 and it sounds tough not being able to clear your head by walking.
