So I'm starting this thread (I hope that's OK 🙂 ) for myself to keep myself accountable this afternoon and onwards in keeping safe from SH especially tonight.

So I've drafted up a safety plan for myself this evening and I'm going to try my absolute hardest to stick to it. Here it is:

STEP 1: My warning signs:

Withdrawing from family/friends.
Anxiety/Panic Attacks
Feeling overwhelmed which can escalate to the following
Unable to fall asleep/Night terrors
No appetite and not wanting to eat (edited)

STEP 2: My reasons to live

My sister
ReachOut
Some of my closest friends
Netball
Swimming
Travelling across Europe
KHL counsellor

STEP 3: Make my environment safe

Remove or get rid of anything that could be used to harm myself

Avoid people who upset me
Stay with someone and don't be alone in a room

STEP 4: Things I can do by myself

Go for a walk outside
Play with Willow & Oscar (Puppas 🙂 )
Watch a favourite film, YouTube clip or TV show
Listen to Self-Love playlist
Practice relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation
Take some time out to treat myself to a small thing I usually enjoy

STEP 5: Friends and family I can talk to

My mum
My Psychologist
One of my friends (possibly...)
ReachOut 🙂

STEP 6: Professional support

Lifeline 13 11 14
Kids Helpline - Webchat or Phone
My Psychologist

And, yeah. I think that's about it 🙂
