Glad to hear you're getting tired, hopefully you'll be able to have a good sleep soon.

Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?

Cacoethes 10-08-2019 08:37 PM

Thanks
I hope so too

Nothing planned for tomorrow
Just need to go to the shop and try not to buy the pills
It's going to be difficult

EyelinerAndCigarettes 10-08-2019 08:40 PM

Do you absolutely have to go to the shop? Perhaps not going is easier for you right now as then you won't have the temptation to buy pills?

Cacoethes 10-08-2019 08:47 PM

I suppose I don't really have to go
I have some food in the house
Probably a better idea not to go

EyelinerAndCigarettes 10-08-2019 08:51 PM

I think that's a good idea. Could you think of anything nice to do for yourself tomorrow?

What sort of support do you think you need right now?

Cacoethes 10-08-2019 08:57 PM

I'm not sure
There's not really a lot to do
I'm trying to get hold of my mum to see if I can go over on Monday to see my daughter but she hasn't replied yet, as is normal for her.
Would give me something to aim for

I'm not sure on the type of support I need/want
I'm not 100% sure it's all mental health related so kind of reluctant to speak to mh professionals but also think it might be.
No idea

EyelinerAndCigarettes 11-08-2019 08:19 AM

How are you doing?

Cacoethes 11-08-2019 11:27 AM

Thank you both

I've just got up
Worried that the thoughts are all going to come back
I dreamt about cutting the contamination out

It's not nice to wake up to anxiety about stuff. :( Try to relax and keep distracting yourself. Have you managed to get a hold of your Mum yet? Aiming to see your daughter tomorrow could be a very good thing.

Cacoethes 11-08-2019 12:48 PM

Thanks
Yes I'm going to see her tomorrow
Will give me something to look forward to
But I'm worried that my anxiety about all this will ruin the day

one_step_closer 11-08-2019 01:03 PM

Maybe today you could try and plan some things for you to do together tomorrow. That would keep you occupied for some of today and give you a structure for tomorrow.

Cacoethes 11-08-2019 01:10 PM

I'm watching my favourite tv show and I'm under a blanket on the sofa
Hopefully this helps

I think mum has some random house stuff going on tomorrow so not sure what will be happening

Just been catching up and was just going to say worrying about worrying is like saying don’t think of a green elephant your brain will automatically go there so try do some mindfulness if you can and just be in the moment or allow yourself 20 mins of a day to have a worry and then get on with other stuff o know they sound silly but sometimes it helps me

Cacoethes 11-08-2019 01:46 PM

Thanks
I'll try that

EyelinerAndCigarettes 12-08-2019 02:19 PM

How are you doing lovely?

Cacoethes 12-08-2019 02:28 PM

Thank you for asking

I'm not too good
Didn't go and see my daughter today because I woke up with a bad cold so I'm sad about that
I managed not to buy the pills to OD on but I wish I had
I can't deal with these thoughts

EyelinerAndCigarettes 12-08-2019 07:42 PM

I'm sorry to hear you've got a cold and didn't get to see your daughter or mum - colds are difficult at the best of times, more so when you're struggling on top of it too.

It's really positive you didn't buy any pills to OD on, though. You should be really proud of yourself.

How are you doing this evening?

Cacoethes 12-08-2019 08:06 PM

Thank you

I found a pack of the pills in my cupboard so I took them
Have come to the train station to call 111 and apparently I'll get a call back from them soon
Sorry

tamobhuuta 12-08-2019 08:12 PM

Sorry you took the tablets but well done for calling 111, have they called you back yet?

Pomegranate 12-08-2019 08:14 PM

I would be very surprised if they did not tell you to go to hospital tbh. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make your way there?
