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:

You mentioned you had a super good day.. What do you think has shifted the energy into a low place? @j95

 

It must be super challenging and we're definitely all here to listen.

I can have the best day, but it's just dampened all the time by this feeling, still good but not as good as I can be, if that makes sense? I think i just need to go @Bree-RO


and this sick feeling is in my stomach and it's been there since last weekend, no matter what or how much I eat, it's like I still feel hungry and empty, and some nights this week I've made dinner sat down at the table and I've just felt so sick I couldn't eat anything and gone straight to bed. I can go and do everything but it takes so much effort and I'm so aware that I'm not feeling good.

What do you mean you need to go? @j95

 

 

Hmm that feeling, it sounds familiar. Just kind of sitting in the back end and you can't quite put your finger on it?

 

You mentioned one of your goals was to use smiling mind more? I am wondering how that's going? 

Apparently mindfulness is a legit approach to understanding some of the internal stuff that we can't initially understand, I am wondering if you could do a meditation on there and update us with like a before & after? Only if you're up for it 🙂

Yeah that sounds good, I'm watching house rules right now so maybe later @Bree-RO and my going I just meant like I need to get out of here, I need a break or something, and I need it right now, it will help
 
 
 
 
 
Bree-RO
Bree-ROPosted 28-05-2017 07:13 PM

Mmmm no I am sure that absolutely doesn't help @j95 What sort of under-the-weathery feeling have you got?

 

So that feeling you mentioned, just can't quite put your finger on it?

@j95 what about a low level activity like a night walk with pups (if it's safe of course) or breathe app? Keep that chest nice and open, feeling for you mate it's not a nice feeling.

You know when you just get home from a long day and you want just 5 minutes of space??? Yeah no. Our fucking tv is up so loud, I'm trying to cook my dinner, my housemate is talking to me and he is being so annoying normally I'd be interested in conversation but I literally just walked in the fucking door!!! As soon as I get home I need like 5/10 chill time on my own to just do what I need to do not people being fucking annoying you'd think he'd know this by now. This is why I snap at people because all I want is like read through a few things and reply to some messages and just have 2 minutes of quiet but I can't do that

Sounds like there's a lot going through your mind right now @DruidChild. How about trying something calming, like breathing exercises, to slow things down a bit?

And we can start a new thread to talk things through if you like?

I'll do some deep breathing and then I might try to go to sleep after I guess @letitgo, thanks though. It just hurts so badly tonight 😞

I'm fine, I'm not really sure why it happened @Bree-RO

Glad that racing heart feeling went away @j95

Glad you're okay @j95 mate. I get that fast beating heart randomly with anxiety spikes sometimes, could that have been what happened? 

 

@Bree-RO Heya 🙂 How are you? I'm struggling majorly with depression symptoms atm, the disordered eating has settled down a lot though, so that's good.

j95Posted 13-04-2017 11:04 PM
My heart is beating so fast a million miles an hour I swear I can even hear it I'm trying to calm but I can't

Bree-ROPosted 14-04-2017 09:54 AM

@DruidChild what's news? Haven't seen you in a few days!

 

@j95 how are you feeling now? Great display pic btw.

Would it matter if I just stopped breathing?
