Aw @MB95 just read your message and it has made my day. It is such a pleasure to be there for you when things are tough. Hope you're doing okay today

Bre-RO · ‎20-10-2020

I'm hear you loud and clear @Eden1717. I know you've tried so hard with the CATT team and even crisis lines. That in itself is exhausting, never-mind the lack of sleep. You mentioned that every time you lay down to relax, you cry - I just want to say that it is okay to cry Yes, the emotions that come up are a lot to process but it is our bodies way of self-soothing. Also, I am about to send you an email because you have mentioned some things here that have got me very worried for you, so look out for that. @MB95 and @Lost_Space_Explorer5 you are both such good friends

Omg this is super sweet @Animallover2003 I can TOTALLY understand why you'd be feeling all these emotions after such a fun and special night Also Bronson sounds like such a legend I just love the thought of him in heels and make-up, so much pride!! Anyways, it sounds like this isn't really a situation where you need to make an apology, but perhaps you can say hi, say you had a fun night with her and ask how she felt about it?

Hi @Tiny_leaf I hear you with puppy life, it is a big job but it sounds like you're being a great puppy parent, Leo is lucky to have you. Also, just wanted to say that I hear you with there being a gap for adults who have autism. That is such a frustrating thing to face. How are you feeling about everything today?

Bre-RO · ‎19-10-2020

Hey @MB95 hope you're doing okay today, it's been such a hard time for you but I'm so happy that your thoughts about ending things have eased up. Let us know how you go with seeing the admin dude and if you need any support with it. Thinking of you!

Hey @Eden1717 not getting sleep is so stressful. It's almost like a loop, the more you can't sleep the harder it is to fall asleep and we all know how important it is to sleep. I got some really good advice when I was struggling with this - after a few days of no sleep a friend told me not to try to sleep, instead he suggested I focus on resting and breathing deeply - this way your body is still recovering in some sense, even if you can't properly sleep. Is there anything that helps you relax a little, and get into your body?

Bre-RO · ‎19-10-2020

Oh wow @Macaria I can totally understand why this situation was distressing for you. It sounds like this person went to you because they could sense that you're a caring person. Thank goodness for people like you I hope you're feeling okay, I can imagine this situation brought up some feelings for you. Let us know if you need to chat through this some more!

Bre-RO · ‎19-10-2020

Hey @Pyrotechnic just wanted to check in and see how you're doing? Sounds like things have been super tough for you, we are here for you whenever you need to chat through things.

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

So much straight up wisdom in this thread! So happy to have spent my evening chatting with you all Signing off now to redeem myself and play with my puppy haha. Goodnight everyone!!

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

I just want to say thank you so much to everyone who got involved tonight and to @GuestPsychologist for being so insightful and warm. I so appreciate all the pearls of wisdom you have given us tonight and I'm sure we'll all be reading back on this convo for a long time. We are almost finished for the night but I thought we could end of this question. It's a really good one. What value (if any) do you think there is in discussions about healthy vs unhealthy ways of processing or expressing emotions?

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Yes I love this quote. "Depression and sadness are not dark. They are human/animal - just feelings – harder feelings but just feelings"

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Yep I know quite of few of those people too @WheresMySquishy !

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Sending lots of love to the user who sent us this question Is drawing some very dark things, a good way to get out the emotions of depression and sadness on paper? I ask, because doing that has helped, but it eventually becomes like SH…

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Emotional intelligence is so important! and yes great insight there @Lost_Space_Explorer5

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

This is a big question! But I'm so glad it was sent through, let's hear what @GuestPsychologist thinks :) What purpose do emotions serve in life and society?

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

That's right @GuestPsychologist that's why we are here - if there's ever anything anyone needs to chat about, but you feel like it's too hard to reach out to family/friends, we will be here to listen and support you!

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Shout out to this user who sent us this question It's great you are reaching out to understand why you feel this way. Why do I want to have no emotions and be like a robot?

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Sounds like you dealt with that situation really well @Lost_Space_Explorer5 And @GuestPsychologist love what you said here: Healthy thinking and planning are of course necessary but recognising when we are overthinking or worrying too much is a good habit.

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Sorry you had that experience with a friend @Lost_Space_Explorer5 you're completely right, recovery is not a straight line.

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

@GuestPsychologist I think this is another awesome question. How can we stop ruminating about sad, angry or anxious feelings?

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

reducing the stigma is definitely a work in progress! @Lost_Space_Explorer5

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

So true @GuestPsychologist and @WheresMySquishy - there can be so much stigma when it comes to anger and expressing sadness. The good thing is that we can take control of stigma and change it over time!

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

hahahah @StormySeas17 @Lost_Space_Explorer5

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

So many really insightful questions tonight, love this one @GuestPsychologist Why do some emotions or the expression of them stigmatised?

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

I have yes @Lost_Space_Explorer5 and it's actually made me closer to certain family members because I realise now just how much I value them. As I said I can just imagine how much fun it will be when we all catch up again

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

@GuestPsychologist so true - emotions can cause physical pain as well as improvements. I think I forget sometimes that emotions don't just cause tension, that they also can make you feel on top of the world.

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

It is really hard to forget certain worries and things that are out of our control @Lost_Space_Explorer5 I often have moments of feeling so upset that I can't see my interstate family and find that hard to forget about. But then I try to remind myself that it doesn't mean forever and when I do see them it will be sooo elating!

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Thanks for sharing that link @GuestPsychologist I want to say thank you to the user who sent us this question, it sounds like you're really tapping into your body and how emotions make you feel. Is it normal to experience emotions as physical pain?

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

Mmm I agree @GuestPsychologist getting to the root cause of big feelings is so important and feeling content is a great goal to have. You can't always be totally elated but you can work towards being content I think I've learnt a lot about that this year.

Bre-RO · ‎15-10-2020

I'm soo into you quoting yourself @Lost_Space_Explorer5 and what an awesome quote
