Not Coping

[Birdofparadise8]

Hi @amber22 

I could be better, to be honest. I need to go inpatient again. I don't think I'm going to stay safe the next few weeks otherwise, and I don't really want to go to ED again. 

I did enjoy the Barbie movie when I saw it a few weeks ago. 

How is your partner? He had a procedure correct.

Hey @Birdofparadise8 

Oh I hope you're doing okay, I'm sitting with you whenever you wanted to chat about anything at all.

I'm so glad that you liked the Barbie movie, I found it so funny.

He's doing much better thank you! Yes, he had his ACL operation a couple of months ago, good memory!!

[Birdofparadise8]

Not really, but thank you @amber22 

I just want to be better. I don't like feeling like this. 

I'm not sure if you know what's been happening the past month with my nan and then coming back to Vic. 

That's good to hear. Was it really a couple of months ago? It's been a while since we have spoke. 

[amber22]

That's totally understandable, I really hope that it helps you, and that you start to feel better soon @Birdofparadise8 

Yes it was a couple of months ago, time has gone so fast! 

No I haven't seen what has been happening for you, but I'm sending you many hugs and I'm here if you wanted to chat about it or just wanted to talk about other things to distract yourself for a bit ❤️

Thank you @amber22 

My nan died and I made a semi-attempt with SI. 

[amber22]

Oh I am so sorry to hear that @Birdofparadise8 

My deepest condolences. I am here if you ever wanted to chat, or to distract yourself. 

How are you feeling today? ❤️

[Birdofparadise8]

Thanks @amber22 

Mmm trying to push through I'm feeling pretty flat today. I just don't want to feel like this. I'm so sad all the time. 

[amber22]

That's so valid and I am here for you while you're feeling this way. Grief is a really hard thing to experience, but please know that it is totally okay to be thinking the way that you are and feeling low.

Do you have anything else planned for the day? Or something that you can do for yourself today that might take your mind off of things even for a minute or two? 

Sitting with you @Birdofparadise8

I would like to go have an acai bowl, so that will be yummy. Have you had one before @amber22? 

I also want to go to the supermarket for a couple of things there is this new low sugar chocolate hard topping for ice cream which sounds yummy, so I want to try that as well. 

I am meeting a new psychologist tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous. 

[amber22]

Oh that sounds delicious, I love acai bowls!! @Birdofparadise8 

That sounds so good, tell me how it is when you try it! I think I might have seen that one on tik tok before.

Oh you found a new psych!! How are you feeling about it (besides being a bit nervous - which is super valid)? Are you excited to have someone to speak to again about everything?
