You have nothing to be sorry for @Captain24
It's very challenging to pull yourself out of a dark place, you've shown so much strength in doing so time and again
I am sorry today is so hard, sitting with you ❤️
Keep providing feedback for the changes in guidelines if something doesn't sound okay to you
Okay so there are a few tasks to get through, starting early might be best so you can take breaks in between
What do you like doing for self-care? 🙂

That's a good idea @Snowie, I hope you get some restful sleep tonight ❤️
What are your plans for the day?

No plans @lavenderhaze just on the couch under my weighted blanket.

I did try with the guidelines but I think I just looked like an idiot. @lavenderhaze. I just don’t have a way with words.
I don’t have anything in me to pull
myself out right now. I have no strength inside. I have lost my ability to fight. I need what ever I have left inside to fight the urges and I’m slowly losing that too.
Self care I usually like diamond art or Lego, but right now I’m sitting on the lounge watching tv with both dogs on my lap.

I am sure you did not look like an idiot @Captain24, the best thing to do is just explain yourself in whatever you can and advocate for yourself, which you did ❤️
I hear you hun 😞 It sounds so painful and I wish I could do something to help
If you feel too tired today then sitting in the dark is okay, we just have to get through this day minute by minute. I am right here with you and so are the other members
I have always been fascinated by diamond art! You sound creative 🙂
What are you watching? I have been binge watching The OC, have you heard of it?

That sounds so comfy @Snowie 🙂
Are you watching tv or something?

Just watching Friends on tv @lavenderhaze I don't do silence very well.

A minute is all I can face an even that is pushing it @lavenderhaze.
Im just watching neighbours as I missed it being in bed. I haven’t ever actually watch the OC. It was in the 90’s. I can’t remember if I was still at school or just out.
Diamond art and Lego are not creative. You get told what to do!!! 😜. It’s pretty easy and I find it mindful.
Do you do have any you do?

I am the same @Snowie, cant sit in silence. I love Friends - such a comforting show. Whos' your favourite on it? I love Chandler and Phoebe
You'll get on the other side of this soon. I know it's hard to believe that right now @Captain24 but have faith ❤️
It came out in 2003. I love watching shows from 90s or early 2000s - the simpler times haha
It's actually a great balance between doing something creative but also having some structure I believe
My self-care usually involves going on long walks around my neighbourhood - I recently learned that walking helps with processing emotions and coming up with solutions because of how our eyes move while looking around our environment, it's a similar concept to EMDR treatment

I hope so @lavenderhaze. Sometimes I’m not so sure.
I got my dates a bit off. I can’t remember the reason why I didn’t watch it. I was living in the coast at that time.
I like the old stuff too.
How do you find the motivation to go for a walk? I’d like to try and find some. I know I need to try but my body is just so heavy it takes all I’ve got to get up to go to the bathroom.
