Anyone hiding with me?

MN is insane today, and I've been having a hellish week. Wanted somewhere to hide and calm down, and preferably, not think about my body/mind not working.

Kind of difficult today.

I could so easily go to sleep and not wake up today.
-DH is freaking out because the letting agents are being stupid

  • I've pulled enough hair out that I now have a big enough bald patch that people are commenting

Not sure who is going to crack first, DH or me. I'm getting pretty close to going at my arms with a knife.

Hang in there Kaloki

MN is a bit mad today but Mental Health has been quite calm.

DH and I have done the both cracking at the same time and are coming out the other side, scarred rather than 'stronger' as people say so fondly, but life is rapidly getting better.

Things will improve for you too. They will.

Don't judge yourself for hair pulling or feeling like SH - great if you can stay away from the knife but it's a coping mechanism, it says nothing about you as a person x

Thank you madmouse

Funny isn't it? Just knowing someone else has been there before and got through it helps loads. You wouldn't think so would you?

it can be very hard to see a way out when you're in the middle of it so yes it helps to know other people got through

My DH has gone back to work two weeks ago after months off (since August), on placement in a new parish and bouncing with excitement and I still have my struggles/bad days but I'm coping again generally.

Just keep taking it one day at a time and do accept whatever support you can get.

That's really good news :) I shall try and remember that as inspiration
