Morning all.

*hugs Mark* I'm not feeling stable lately.
*hugs Lindsay* a year and 4 months is great. Slipping after a long time like that must feel bad, please don't think about it as a relapse.
*hugs Hiding* I get the thing with the dates sometimes too. Sometimes I'm so sure that it is wednesday, but when I read the newspaper I realize that it is already thursday or friday.

just checking in again, hi everyone

Don't mind me just going to check in for a little.
*sits in the corner with pillow*

yeah its really odd. L ( the teal typing) has been having anxiety alot lately over the past few times weve fallen asleep at night becuse usually we feel sleepy first and sorta remember going to sleep.. but the last few times we've slept its been like wwe are awake watching tv and then boom.. were asleep.. she thinks it is like we pass out or something and ittrips her out.. anxiety affects us all but with L it is just more irrational and out in left feild.. lol she needs to just chill and go with it.. but she says she cant stop it..*shrug*

we are glad the confusion is less now.. it bothered us alot..

*hugs styled wrong*
*hugs IamNOTok - listen2me*
*hugs hiding*

Ermm hey....I haven't been in here before....I just wanted somewhere safeish to go...would anyone mind if I just hid in a corner with my blanket?

love!!!!!!!!!!!!! =] nope we dont mind. [fb me if you want hmm? <3]

*sleeps*
coursework is stoopid.
not being able to focus is stoopider :(

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around in a while. I feel drained today, because I'm part of an LGBT domestic abuse information project and we've been writing filming material today. It'd be nice to be reminded that there's plenty good in the world.

Positive news to report though- I got a place on a German course at college, and I start in less than a fortnight!

*Hugs Pretty Reckless , Heather and Feli*

I just came home from therapy. Something went wrong today

Thanks for the hugs guys..

Mute.Scream: I've been better thanks. I hope youre ok. What went wrong if you dont mind me asking? *hugsss*

*hugs Pretty.Reckless*

my therapist and I were working on creating a safe place (mentally), (I think it's some kind of hypnosis). Instead of coming back at the end I went the wrong direction and was dissociated and I think I had some kind of flashback.
You can read about it in my thread http://www.recoveryourlife.com/forum...d.php?t=180885.

Laura, that sounds really distressing. *hugs*

*Hugs Laura*

*Hugs Lindsay*

How are you today, Mark?

Iffy , Could really use a drink but that'll solve nothing , Head vs Heart :/ How are you Lindsay?

It's good that you recognise that it won't solve anything, I hope you can find something that helps.

I'm feeling at a loss about how to move forward. I need some help with my anxiety but i've tried lots of anxiety management techniques and they don't work. I was going to ask my GP if there is some medication I can try but my OT is against it.

*Huge Hugs Lindsay* I'd be glad to share things I do to relax sometimes if you like , They may be a bit .... aalternative and / or new age , but I'm happy to share , they might help anxiety??

*hugs Lindsay* I would talk to your GP anyway, just to get a second opinion.
*hugs Mark*

*Hugs Laura*

hugs everyone

you say you wanna help
you swear you'll be right there
you promise you'll understand
you assure me that you'll care

but everytime I go to you, its all just in vain
you don't know how to help me
you can't take away my pain

you're only capable of love but love's not all I need
I need you to listen, to understand, these desperate words you should heed


I don't know whats wrong with me
how its all so damn @#%$ up
how last night I tried to take a knife
and make myself a cut

Another attempted scar upon my arm, blessed be for all to see
I need you to help me because
I fear I may drown in my own weakness and misery



maybe there is something wrong with me
put on display for all to see
but that's just fine
I'll sit and slit to pass the time
strip my sleeves and show my wounds
probably then you'd sing a different tune

months and years of strife and stress
repressing things that shouldnt be repressed
and all this @#%$ time you couldn't guess

didn't have a @#%$ clue
no idea what to do
sorry to say but that killed me too

can you even begin to comprehend
some of the things I keep locked within
safe and sound away so you dont do see
every little stab of inadequecy

when you go to bed at night do you dream like I
is the ceiling your sky
at which you gaze through translucent eyes
and realize with a soul charred by lies

your life is turning into a disguise

Disgusted, mistrusted, and all that jazz
smile and it wont seem so bad
yeah right.

you dont @#%$ know my plight
you can't understand "fight or flight"
fight a battle and surely lose
or run away to continue this exhausted ruse

Elsewhere.


im like at the far bottom where i can see my soul stearing at me ordering me to start again.
its so ****ed up i wanna be active again.
and my dads not making it any easier getting on the forth ground asking a ton of question with NO ****ING CLUE WHY just cause he wants to.
he has a vision i will break easily but i do.
and it still hurts to have eyes.
my mother never calls no one contacts me. should i break the contact indefinite?
no one wants my attention anymore even though dreams and hopes are all around me. twisting me like a pepsi twist. cant forget the taste cant forget the feelings cant do what i want to do.
i even feel the marijuana necklace burned in my skin watching over me in my dreams so that i always forget the bad side of how i met aliens the first and last time.
never getting lifted never getting appreciated
my "friends" are all tifted
my feelings are all sifted
to this twisted scar its a vision we need to heal

Hi everyone. *hugs for all*

hugs everyone - how are you all

*hugs Mark* oh... I hate it when there is so much worry about money.
*hugs Lindsay*
*hugs Louise*

Do you know the feeling when everything is annoying? I'm so easily annoyed lately. I get annoyed of the way the blanket was touching my back. And I get annoyed when someone in the room is talking on the phone. I get annoyed when the page of my book makes a noise when I turn the page. I hate it when I'm getting annoyed so easily, it makes me want to sh because I'm getting annoyed with how easily I'm getting annoyed.

I know that feeling, Laura. Is there something that you enjy doing that won't annoy you? Maybe listening to music would at least drown out some of the sounds that are annoying you.

I'm in so much emotional pain. Just want to die. So sick of considering how my death would effect everyone else.

*huggles Lindsay* do you want to talk about why you are feeling that way?

I am listening to music, and being on the computer takes enough of my fokus so I don't get annoyed of other things. It's just the fact that I 'fled' from the rest of the family, because I'm getting so annoyed. I want to be more sociable in my family if that makes sense? I don't want others to be extra cautious because I'm getting annoyed all the time, so I'm spending a lot of time alone lately. I don't want to isolate myself though... meh.

Hello,
anybody around at this hour?

Hi Daisy, sorry for the late reply. How are you?

*Hugs Daisy if okay?*

*Hugs Lindsay*

*Hugs Laura*

*Hugs Louise*

How's Mark today?

*hugs Daisy if ok*
*hugs Lindsay* how are you?
*hugs Mark*

I'm not too great at the moment. How are you, Laura?

Tired. I spent almost the whole day with my best friend and now I'm exhausted.
Is there anything going on that's making you feel bad or did it come out of nowhere?
