not coping

[creative_writer]

@tyme, the guided service was amazing when I was with them, it might be something @outlander can look into. @tyme, I hope you do find the break restful, even if you don’t to Christmas.

@outlander, I think you deserve to get the help you need, sometimes that help means trying to figure out what supports are available. MH system can be hard to navigate, I hope you do find the help you need 💖

thanks @Snowie @Eve7 @tyme @creative_writer
i reached out for help offline before i went to work and they just told me i need to think happy thoughts when i expressed my worries about how much my mh has declined and also my chronic pain levels have been increasing and affecting my mobility more lately which is concerning. the medical treatment i just went for was suppose to help

i was also told that my favourite client has passed away as well today so thats making things harder for me too

@outlander, do you think it’ll help if you reach out to SANE once it’s running again. I was thinking of reaching out since I have a lot of chaos to work through. Though I think I’ll work through it by writing it out first so I know how to structure the call. I can understand how invalidating it may feel to think happy thoughts. Sometimes you just have to let yourself feel. I’m sorry to hear your favourite client passed away 🫂. This image has helped me: 

[outlander]

yeah i might reach out to sane. im not sure though @creative_writer
i am usually positive about most things but as soon as im negative i just get told to think happy thoughts and be positive.


i cant see your pic yet but ill keep an eye out for when its approved

[outlander]

I like that picture @creative_writer

[creative_writer]

@outlander, I’ve found SANE helpful on most occasions. I hope if you do reach out, you feel comfortable and understood by the person. Telling someone to be positive does not help. All emotions are valid and need to be experienced. I hope you are feeling better today 💖

@outlander wishing you a good day today hon

Sending love 💌💌
