not coping

[Snowie]

This time of the year can be so hard on people @outlander 

It's ok to feel this way. It's also ok to do christmas your way hon. If that means hiding away than thats ok.

@outlander, I’m sorry to hear you lost your job. It’s okay to give yourself some time on Christmas. I know things look really dark now, you’ve always been amazing and strong to get through all the challenges in the past, you can get through this 💖

Hey @outlander ,

It sounds like there's a lot going on for you and it's sort of all snowballed to what you are feeling right now?

I can only imagine how hard it must be for you right now. 

Go slow and be gentle on yourself. I have hope that things will improve.

i feel selfish for even asking for help. so many more people need it then i do.

You’re not selfish @outlander actually you are one of the most giving people I know.

Sending lots of love ❤️🫂🤗❤️

i especially feel like i cant look affter anyone else when im this bad. i dont want to be a carer i dont want to be responsible for anyone else. i am to tired and im struggling. i feel like i need more supports but i have to constantly pay for supports and i cant do it anymore.
being in this stupid house being relied on is to hard. i cant be that person anymore. im struggling to keep myself safe and keep my own thoughts under control. i am safe right now but the thoughts are getting more and more overhwlming. i wanted to reach out for help but guess who is home and no one wants to have him and i cant say the real reason why i want time off.

Hey @outlander ,

I'm hearing you hun. It's not easy. You have given and given and given of yourself since an early age and helped everybody who asked. From looking after pop to looking after horses. At the same time, you were battling with your own mental and physical health.

You've always put yourself last @outlander . I'm so sorry that when you need help most, not many are willing to put their hand up. You deserve so much more.

Have you connected with SANE's Guided Service? I wonder if it would be helpful to talk to someone so that you even get some emotional support.

You not only deserve support. You deserve the best.

We are sitting with you.

Hi @tyme 

I hope you are going good.

What does Christmas look like for you?

[tyme]

Hey @Snowie ,

I don't celebrate Christmas so it's nothing special for me except I have time off and can go for more walks and enjoy time with the kids here. 

It's good just to be able to chill and relax. If it was warmer, I'd spend some time in the pool, but it's a bit cool at the moment.

[Snowie]

I hope your time off goes well for you @tyme I'm sure the kids will love spending more time with you!
