Hmmm we need a name, the safe place for all the people that need it

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

Hi so here we are

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

We definitely need a good name

[HardRockHallelujah]

I need a safe place

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

Hey. I'm wrist I have depression and I don't sleep and worry a lot. Married but my husband can only take so much I guess. I want to be better

[AnxiousCarer]

Hi, can I bring my cat he's helping me calm down at the moment.

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

I love cats. I don't want to out myself but my cat is on here I need cat pics lol

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

And now I'm crying for no reason. I need a kick up the butt

[AnxiousCarer]

Its ok Wrist crying is ok, no kicking butts in the safe room, have a hug and I'll lend you my other cat for a bit.

[Wolfiefan]

No kicking of the butts. I don't care if this is MN. Gentle hug? I have a tortie asleep at the end of the bed. She may cuddle. But then again she may attack!
I'm wolfie. Depression and anxiety and I'm really supposed to be asleep now. Hey ho.

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

Your a lovely person. Yes crying is good.

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

Fuck cucumber cat outed me

[AnxiousCarer]

Hi Wolfie, I should be asleep too, might try soon now all you lovely people have helped me calm down.

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

How did she get in my post

Even she don't like cuddles. Feeling a little vulnerable at the moment but I don't get why

[Wolfiefan]

There isn't always a why for me!
My other cat is swearing in her sleep!
Bonkers.

[saltededamummy]

Hi. No butt kicking from here, just empathy. Have a nice cuppa too, replace the fluid from those tears
I can sleep cos my legs are giving me pain & my general anxiety is giving me pain too. And my 13yo DS is still awake, so I'm stressing about why that might be.
How are your cats now?

[Wolfiefan]

Actually cat at foot of bed jumped down. Silent ninja kitty. Hence other cat awake and swearing!
Yep salted pain here too! Right must try and do the sleepy thing.

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

I don't do hot drinks. My water bottle it is but I'm needing to pee lots lol, must step away from evil wine. I'm just a barrel of laughs

[saltededamummy]

Can't sleep. Duh.
It's obvious we aren't alone now, that's good!
*yes yes, one is never alone with a kitty, I know.
I'm just jealous cos ours lives in the utility room & won't come into the kitchen

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

It's the loneliness that kills me. I have 4 kids that I love to bits but it's just me and them. I'm married but hubby is never here

[saltededamummy]

Does your hot water bottle make you want to pee, Latex?
How?!?

[saltededamummy]

Oh shoot... you mean a water bottle with drinking water in it...
As you were.

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

Heat near my bladder. It's what 4 kids does

[WristBoundLatexBitch]

Haha you got yourself there as I tried to save you

[Wolfiefan]

Hot water bottles slosh. Makes me want to pee!
And salted my 13 year old was awake a short time ago. Caught him reading a book by torchlight. Some things never change.
And teens supposedly have hormone issues (really?!) that cause them not to be able to fall asleep early.

[BecauseIamaBear]

Can't sleep just now... but not because of MH related issues.

Does it help if I fess up and say I have mostly gotten over my depression ? I come here to try and help folks because I remember what it felt like in my bad times.

[saltededamummy]

I understand, tho frankly I'm amazed I'm right!

Anyway let's all do some deep breathing to slow our brains down.
Slowly breathe in for a count of 3
& gently out for 6.
In for 3
& out for 6.
In for 3
& out for 6
