Hey there @Sophia1998

 

I’m so sorry to read that you self-harmed yesterday and have been crying a lot. Revisiting upsetting memories can be super distressing and hard to process.

 

I’m not sure if you feel comfortable opening up about what happened on the 11th of April, but I’m wondering if you’ve shared it with anyone in your life? We are here to listen if you need to get something off your chest 😌

 

Also, I want to ask if you’re safe at the moment? It can be pretty tough to remember the community guidelines, especially when you’re feeling stressed. In saying that, it’s super important that you let us know if you’re safe when posting about self-harm. 

 

We’re sending you a check-in email this morning as well, so please keep an eye out for that!

I am safe and this is what happened on the 11th of April someone on Tuesday 11th of April at my day program made me very sad and very suicidal because of what they said. That is what they said someone asked me to get off my phone because I shouldn't be using it while it is charging. While I was at my day program. The person is a young male.

Hi @Sophia1998

Thanks so much for letting us know you're safe ❤️

It sounds like this incident at your day program was really distressing for you. Did you find it confronting when they asked you to get off your phone? Were you able to do anything afterwards that made you feel any better?

I did find it confronting and I couldn’t do anything afterwards that could have made me feel better

That sounds tough @Sophia1998 . It also sounds like what happened is still having an impact on you.

 

Do you have any more of these day programs to attend?

 

Also, how are you feeling now?

I'm glad to hear you are okay now @Sophia1998 . Do you think going Tues-Thurs to the day program will be a trigger?

Yes it will be a trigger

Hey @Sophia1998 how are you feeling today? 

 

When I put myself in your shoes, I imagine it would be hard for you to attend your day program three days per week while coping with triggers. I'm curious to know if you feel comfortable or get along well with any of the people in the day program? 

 

It might be worth considering letting someone know how you're feeling because you deserve to feel safe at the day program. What do you think? 

 

Hope you're having a nice day so far 🌞
