I've struggled as well today too @Fluttershy1 

The days are very long atm. 
Today was a little bit better than y'day & I'm hoping tomorrow will be a little better again.

Im not crying as frequently during the day which is an improvement.

Thanks @outlander 

I hope to get some continuous hours of sleep too.

Hope you do too @Fluttershy1

@WIP @outlander @Snowie - spent the last hour crying and trying really hard to fight the urges of SH, it's really tempting to let the urges win but I'm not going to let them win. 
I feel numb and lost and very unsure. 
Also having family judging me and not understanding my MH is the worst thing...
Crying more....

Take care ❤️

Hey @SmallBlueMouse ,

I replied to you email 

Thanks for checking in with me, I'm just struggling but I am safe.

Hey @outlander , 

am using my coping strategies and have been reaching out. Currently snuggling with my doggo in bed. Hoping to get some sort of sleep tonight.

Morning @Fluttershy1 

I really hope you were able to settle last night and get a bit of rest/sleep.

I'm sure snuggles with your dog helped. I know that always helps me. They can tell when we are distressed and do their best to help us with their hugs.

i hope you have a better day today. X

@WIP @outlander @Snowie @Maggie @NatureLover @MDT @eth @Former-Member @Shaz51 @frog - what a night, didn't sleep again my mind just wouldn't switch off. I'm feeling abit here there and everywhere. Fighting SH urges because I want to stay safe. The conflict with my family not understanding my MH they just assume everything. 
Been crying again.

i feel lost and numb. 
 I'm safe

Take care🌻
