Anyone up?

[FreedomBird]

Need a chat. Feeling like I want to self harm. Feeling like I want to walk out the house and not come back.
I know I don’t want to do any of these things really.

Hey I'm up are you on your own ?

Hey, I'm up, and all ears for a chat. What's on your mind?

I'm here x

Thank you.

I’m really struggling. I’m not alone, my boyfriend is here but he’s asleep.

I can’t sleep and I just want to do something to get the frustration out.
I have plantar fasciitis and Ive been in pain all day.

I feel so alone.

And I know that pain is nothing. Absolutely nothing compared to some people.

My whole body aches. My knees hurt today too. My elbows hurt.

I'm up, went to bed early to get away from an awful argument and now I'm awake. Please speak it out... We've got to stick by each other now more than ever. X

You're not alone. We are here.

Other people having pain doesn't diminish yours. You're allowed to be struggling. That is ok. Please don't add to your own.

I also argued with my boyfriend. About someone stupid. But I hate arguing. It makes me call everything into question,
I am 35 and I just want my dad right now. I want to go home.

Your pain is not nothing at all, just because others are suffering it doesn't mean that you can't have a moan! I've had plantar fasciitis, it's a bugger isn't it

I had counselling this evening which was emotionally draining. I’ve been in pain too like I say. It’s just been such a shit evening and I just want time to stop.

I’m done with lockdown. I’m done with not seeing friends and family. I need them. I really need them.

Is there something you can do that is constructive? When I can't sleep because I'm struggling with anxiety I try and go downstairs and do something for half an hour (wash the pots, have a cup of tea, match socks) to reset my brain and then when I come back to bed I usually get to sleep better.

My mental health feels like it’s on a knifes edge and one little blip will send me looking for the knives.

I can’t think of anything to do. If I got up I could watch TV I guess. Maybe have a cup of tea.

Am awake. Am so sorry you are in so much pain.

Tell us how your day was today, beyond but including if you want, the pf pain. Did you do anything interesting? Other than today, what do you normally enjoy doing?

I'm so sorry you feel like this :( but it's also okay to feel like this.
A cup of tea is a good idea, I think I'll make one with you.

I was about to say the same as zoned, is there anything you like to do? When I'm feeling crappy I like to potter around then treat myself to something like a bath ( or chocolate !)

Cup of tea sounds like a great idea. Do you like playing games on your phone? I find them a good distraction

I'm really sorry you're feeling like this, lowness really is the pits x

What do you normally to calm yourself down? Try to do something to occupy your hands if you're feeling restless - do you do any crafty things? Could you draw a picture? It doesn't have to be good. Just something to concentrate on to distract yourself from.

I don’t know what I like to do. I don’t get much joy from life at the moment. I spend life just getting through each day mostly. I’m very up and down.
I read, I listen to audio books. Today I spent some time updating my kids’ baby books. That was nice.

I'm just watching bullseye on challenge TV, what are these people wearing?! I can't get over how sexist Jim Bowen was

Ah that sounds like a lovely job! I haven't looked through my boys baby bits for years. Do you want to tell us about them?

That does sound nice. It's good to do something like that.

Are you getting help for your pf? My husband had that -really painful - he got a special boot that he had to wear at night. Seemed to cure it!

How old are your boys? Want to talk about them whilst you have a cuppa? How are they like?
