Reuben sends cuddles and licks. He gives seriously good cuddles. He likes having his belly stroked and you can borrow him for some time out any time, for as long as you want. He especially likes cuddling in bed with someone and he will make you feel better for a little while xx
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
This made me all n'awwwh. :) Belly rubs are the best and you're making me miss eddie and snuggling in bed with him! Hes epic funny because hes deaf and chases shadows.
Limited on words, but I just wanted you to know I've read and I care. I think you're amazing and incredibly strong, I believe in you, you deserve to get through this <3
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said "I just don't care"?
Lillie please try and stay safe lovely. Is there anyone you can call?
What can you do to help yourself stay safe? Maybe try some self soothing things just for now, watch something you enjoy have a cup of tea and snuggle in a blanket. Or call someone if you can, even if it's a helpline.
What would help right now?
Thinking of you xxx

I feel so trapped and so low and backed into a corner. The dissociation is getting worse and I feel so lost. Nothing is manageable. Im so tired. Im just no good. No use.
I want a cuddle and to sleep.
Dont find helplines useful, I dont want to vent I want cuddles and answers.
I'm sorry everything is so difficult for you at the moment. I can relate to feeling trapped with dissociation. Does anything help at all? I can understand it is exhausting to stay grounded and isn't always possible, but perhaps using grounding techniques more frequently could be an idea.
What helps you sleep? It sounds like you could also do with some more sleep. Perhaps getting ready for bed and improving sleep hygiene would be an idea.
When are you next able to see your CPN?
*sending lots of cuddles and squishy things*

Sometimes like today I was just so tired of fighting it. I did try for over 2 hours in my lecture but Im tired.
I pretty much spend all day every day in bed- unless Im out the house Im in bed. Its the only space I feel safe in and not too overwhelmed. Sleep hygiene doesnt help at all.
My cpn didnt come today and I ignored what I presume where her private number calls. Shes crap anyway.
I cant face sleeping now, I feel too vulnerable. Might get more tea but I have only like 2 cups worth of milk left. Gogglebox has finished.
I know you have been asked that before but I don't remember this: is there a crisis house or similar in your area? Because I know hospital doesn't do anything for you and maybe just getting some short term intensive support would give you a partial break from fighting.
If not in your area, is there a way to be referred to something like that out of area?
Can you find something comforting to watch or listen to for now?
Mock the Week / QI/ 8 out of ten cats can be found on YouTube if you find funny shows helpful.
I didnt OD, finally went to sleep at like 6am. I feel very low and not very well today- spent a lot of it in and out of various states of dissociation and binging and purging. Had to put some laundry on because I managed to throw up on loads of stuff.
I need to decide if I want to do something tomorrow and I feel so stuck. Doing it would be so anxiety provoking and I dont want the end result however I SHOULD have the end result and everyone wants and thinks Im capeable of doing it and am lazy for not.
What is it you have to decide on?
Would it help to write a pros/cons list?
Reuben thinks you should do what's best for YOU and what makes you happy, not everyone else. He's a smart dog.
