Re: The Ice-Memery
@Rosemary4 Love an opportunity to learn new things!
I think the word is also widely used when referring to the backstory of a character or world in fiction - i.e. The Lord of the Rings has a lot of lore that pre-dates the trilogy (covered in novels like The Silmarillion). This is what came up for me when I saw that meme - thinking of your painful past as part of your backstory that helped make you into the badass main character you are today

Re: The Ice-Memery
Having some suicidal thoughts tonight. Been a while since I felt compelled to ' just do it'. But I know this is not an emergency or counselling or crisis line. I'll just ride it out.

Re: The Ice-Memery
@Rosemary4 thanks for sharing where you're at tonight. We may not be a crisis service but doesn't mean we can't sit alongside you in this difficult time. Do you have a go-to safety plan, and someone you can talk to about how you're feeling?

Re: The Ice-Memery
I'll squeeze some ice and have a cold drink shortly, light some insense and stimulate those five senses. I feel stupid ringing Lifeline etc. Just gotta not act on it.

Re: The Ice-Memery
Yeah those waiting lists are ridiculous right now. Glad to hear you're thinking about what your next steps are though @Rosemary4 .
In future, you can always call the SANE Helpline - we're about to close at 10pm but I know that it's a good option for a non-judgemental ear if you just need a space to talk about the feelings. You could try em tomorrow if you like.
I believe in you! You will get through this! I am sending virtual hugs and a whole big pile of determination to help you resist the thoughts!
And I am sending you this pic too (hope it loads okay)
