@NikNik is probably on to something there! Strategies for coping right now in the moment,
Can you put some music on? Or a meditation type of thing (smiling mind?) Grounding type things, look around the room, feel something in your hands. Throw something up in the air and catch it a few times.
Deep breathing of course
and knowing that we're here with you,

@Former-Member
im sorry your family treated you like that. i know how you feel.
i dont know what i want anymore. i dont know what i want to do.
im struggling so much i dont even know what give me joy anymore, i feel like ive lost everything esp over the past few weeks. i think the only thing that keeps me going is being on here sometimes
i dont even know what i did or done. my mother wont talk to me she just growls at me and tells me to get over it.. ive tried that, oh ive tried to so bad but i just cant. so hey i fail at that too. 😞

how about we focus on something else for distraction @Former-Member? You could always ask me anything about your medical terminology that you're studying... I find study a good distraction.

Just a thought little caterpillar @Former-Member
Try drawing 'YOUR GARDEN'. In it - at the centre- is you a strong, amazing vibrant caterpillar. Surrounding you are your butterflies, and that funny looking inchworm (sorry @Former-Member). Amongst 'your garden family' are bright beautiful flowers that bring everyone joy - and you are the CENTRE of that joy.
...and yes my little caterpillar 100% meant what I said - just did not want to tell you before because I thought you would think I was stupid thinking that way - but I do!
