Certainly one of my fave posters. A bit barmy. In a good way. Canny interesting too. Might even be intelligent

Get me being all git nice and that ☺️
Aaaaah in plain terms that cheered me up
Yeah he is a good poster and one of the nice ones on here
Yep if you are referring to me I am of the female persuasion.

This is, I believe a much needed thread where people can come on and just unload. It is always helpful and informative and kind, sometimes all you need is a bit kindness.

But it should always be a safe space too that is very Important. Don't like the idea of people coming on here, reading stuff then using it as a weapon.

Feck em I say and stay away if that's your game.

Still haven't forgiven you though for making me have to apologise twice to the only other person in the staff room last week because I was giggling that badly at your stories

Pfffft 🤣"sorry"
*head down*
*stifle it with a big bite of this sandwich*
Pfffft 🤣 *pretend to cough instead*
Pfffft 🤣 "sorry there"

About the thread anyway, some of the bestest people on the forum are on it

While some things are an absolute horrid curse, it maybe does actually lead to more rounded, nicer, more empathetic people

Still shit like. Hope everyone wakes up feeling a bit ok at least tomorrow
 
🫣 sorry ( still one of the good ones )

That's why I always call everyone mate so I don't put my foot in it ❤️
Well you should know it is irrelevant whatever you thought man or woman. It's your advice, sympathetic nature, words of wisdom and encouragement that are important. I really do believe this thread and the contributions you have made on it have been invaluable to a lot of people.

Thank you so much and that's what I was trying to say about you before I cocked it up ha
 
Things have taken a turn for the worse again last night/Today. Won't post any details due to reasons mentioned earlier but it's hard to see any positives about the future at the minute.
I don't know your situation but all I can suggest is focusing on the immediate, on the here and now. For a short while think more like 'what can I do that would make me feel a little happier by the end of the day?' Etc
 
I'm just having a bit of a wobble my love, I need to sort my shit out xx
I have an addictive personality, I need to take control instead of just saying "fuck it" (no drugs, but I do drink but not to excess and I eat too much).
Hmm. Alright sis? Like a flipping twin I swear

I don't possess motivational words or answers. I can only do honesty

All I can say is it will pass. Was all over the shop for a while there myself, shaking aye. Panic attacks aye. Impulsive aye. Weepy aye. Hyper aye. Manic maybeeeee. Mistakes at work aye. Blurting out nonsense aye

Till Sunday when something clicked again and am a lot calmer (nearly used the word 'stable' but that has connotations around what the opposite is)

And addictive personality. Have started to think that's actually a cliche and a cover all term for a lot more beneath

Don't do owt too daft. Stay safe. Don't burn any bridges when you're feeling shit/angry/depressed. One hour/day at a time till it rights itself a bit

Achieve them things and you'll be doing alright
 
I'm on a bit of a downward spiral, not feeling great at all (haven't seen my cpn this week as he's on holiday) just losing it / feeling shaky (not the singer, nee whoa whoa julie) doing stupid shit and feeling physically crap too.
Happy f***ing Wednesday folks xx
If you are under the auspices of the mental health team and you feeling crappy and a bit out of control you can phone the crisis team, hopefully they can get on the phone to you to calm you and tide you over so to speak.

Meanwhile, always remember you are a survivor, more than that a gorgeous funny, kind, sympathetic soul. Who is very much liked and admired on here

Good advice there. Time, it's a funny one isn't it. I often think if I can just make it through without too much damage it will be OK.

Genuinely I think the practicalities of being in a dark pit are overlooked

Do things you like (I don't want to)
Go to the gym (I don't want to)
Talk to people close to you (I don't want to)
Focus on you (joking aren't you, me is the last thing I want to dwell on)

Get through the day - I can aim to do that
Have a cry - I can do that
Find something funny even if it's tiny - I can do that
Rant at people in your head - I can do that (but maybe not outloud eh)
Post bollocks just for the hell of it as a release - aye go on then
Reward yourself in a teeny way for making it through- eurgh if I must

Oh, LOP btw. You've already said before you're a bit scared of being moved on from the CPN. Probs contributed to your feeling this week about no contact

Ask them about a wider safety net.
