Short Sads

Hey everyone!

I reckon we are so good at supporting each other and this section of the forum is an absolute testament to that. A place where a lot of people reach out for help for the very first time ever and it's pretty awesome to see how great you all are at supporting people through that. 

 

Life isn't just full of big new tough things though. Things don't just get better as soon as we start out on our path to recovery, it's called a path for a reason, there's many steps! And sometimes we can stumble a bit and you know what, that's okay :). 

 

A couple of weeks ago I made a thread to celebrate our achievements together. And @tsnyder made an awesome one for us to talk about the new things we're exploring in the world too!  

 

This thread is kind of like the dark side of those threads - but it has a silver lining!

 

This is a place to let us know about something tough that you're going through and -this is the important bit- for us to support each other through those tough bits, to remember how to turn negatives into positives and to work on finding solutions together.

 

If you're feeling like you're stumbling a little or like you might fall, i want you to come here to let us know about it and to draw on the AMAZING support you folks give each other.

 

So post here with the smallest fear or what feels like the greatest failure and we will support you with everything we've got! 

 

It'll probably look like this:

@j95 that really, really sucks. I can totally understand how upsetting it must be that you made something special for your sister and it got thrown out - especially because we all know how important your time with your siblings is for you. I'm sorry about the frustration this has caused you. You're really angry and I'm concerned if this isn't channeled into something productive, it will negatively impact the rest of your day when you and your sister deserve to enjoy your time together. 

 

Sometimes things don't go according to plan and it catches us completely off guard. Unfortunately that's how life can turn out to be sometimes. It doesn't mean though that there are no alternatives and at times it's useful to think of situations like this as an exercise in alternative-course-of-action planning.

 

I think it would be a great if:

 

1) You made a post listing some other things you can do with your sister today.

 

2. Can you also think of ways you can tell her about what happened?

 

3. And finally, can you also try and see that there's a chance that whoever threw out what you made, didn't do it on purpose? (The last bit might be hard and you don't need to think about it just now. You'll likely come to your own conclusion about it in your own time).

I want to be a nurse so much but I can't seem to concentrate or focus or be healthy and it's horrible because I can feel myself destroying my studies with my stupid anxiety and stupid depression and stupid emptiness. All I want is to get through the next three years and get good grades and learn cool stuff. But I feel like I'm screaming inside and I get trapped in obsessive spirals about things that don't matter and I can barely handle eating/sleeping/personal hygiene and I want to get out of this stupid stupid house and I can't. I just want to be a nurse and I don't understand why I haven't suffered enough for things to go okay for just three years.

I don't think you're unhelpable @j95, Are you able to use a strategy from your self-care plan to help you deal with those urges? Can you have a cuddle with your dogs in bed until you fall asleep maybe?
