Lonely and needing distraction

[Arbie_wun]

@Former-Member you will be fine my friend, and you are tough enough..  I know you probably don't think you are at the moment.

Remember that each journey we take starts with a single step....

[Former-Member]

@Arbie_wun having a huge wave of thoughts running through me right now and I don't like it. 

[Arbie_wun]

@Former-Member ... I know that feeling my friend... they are darkness.... but there is also light... just think about all of those friends here helping you for one!

@Arbie_wun it's just so overwhelming and I can't make them stop.

@Former-Member have you considered making a phone call to a crisis line for assistance if it gets that bad?  I do wish I could be there to comfort you in person and help you feel better my friend.  It's certainly difficult being here and helpless in such a situation but I know that my presence is also helpful at this time.

@Arbie_wun i did try to reach out but the person i got was not helpful.

It's just heading down a dangerous path once again. Why is it never ending at the moment.

Trying to colour to distract myself but I'm very quickly losing joy and focus in that. You are helping just by being here right now in this moment.

@Former-Member what is it that you are colouring at the moment?  I am sure it is something delightful too

[Former-Member]

@tyme i have reached out and it wasn't helpful but I will try again later. 

I'm ok for the moment just really battling my thoughts. 

I'm here just chatting and trying to keep my mind distracted. 

[Former-Member]

@Arbie_wun this is what I'm working on at the moment.
