Its hard when we are not alright, but also need to reassure others. @Eden1919 That takes social consciences but it is important to try and find a way that it does not become false. I think it is very important to keep with truth as best one can.

Have you heard of Teal Swan?  She is a young person online who does work on suicidality.  You do not have to answer my questions, but I feel it is important to raise them. Up to you Eden.

Hi @outlander Hope you are better today.  Did you manage to resist sh urges?

I posted about new behaviours I began today to help me when I am in crisis and overwhelm, which is the way it is for too atm.

Sorry to hear that @Eden1919 whats the plan for the rest of the night then?


@Appleblossom no not really that much better just a little more controlled at times. Yes i did resist them. I didnt sh yesterday or today. Can you tag me where you posted about your new behaviours? Or your welcome to share them here or on a coping thread...

[Appleblossom]

@outlander Every day you can resist is important, until it becomes a new habit ... to resist them and do something productive for your life.  I know its hard. I battled with it in a few variations for 20 years.  Mostly now its not serious sh.

I posted self care behaviours on @Former-Member thread.

They are not new for others, but for me they are.  I put some cream in my handbag for hand massage when I am anxious or triggered. So I dont just take the pill. I do these others things as well. I have had my teabags in my bag for choirs for a few years now, but today I opened it and kept inhaling the scent for about 20 mins.  It worked very well to ground me and then of course I added hot water in a cup during break.

Good night I will need to log off soon.

Goodnight 😴
