Am Not Coping

[Faith-and-Hope]

Hi @Zoe7 .......

Breathe ......

Is Toby right with you ?

[Zoe7]

yes @Faith-and-Hope

[Faith-and-Hope]

Can you play some gentle music @Zoe7 ?

When I need to calm myself I will have Richard Clayderman piano music on a loop. I am finding that just playing that music now brings my anxiety down as an almost automatic response.

[Zoe7]

can't play music at night - too triggering @Faith-and-Hope

[Faith-and-Hope]

I am here @Zoe7 .....

I will be going out in a little while, but I will be checking in on you ...... I am very much with you ..... and my phone is with me.

I can post pictures for you, but I can post these ...... 🦋💋💕

[Faith-and-Hope]

And they are faster @Zoe7 ...... ❤️

[Faith-and-Hope]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ...... see ??!

@Zoe7

[Zoe7]

fear of sleep is back - has been for a while now - but sooooo tired - need to sleep

[Faith-and-Hope]

Step slow breaths for now will give you some of the restorative value of sleep @Zoe7. It’s not the same of course, but try to ”approximate” sleep as best you can ..... for that reason. Lower the lights as much as you can for your comfort level ..... do you have the tv on with no volume ?

[Zoe7]

yes - tv on - no volume. small light on. anxiety high - had meds but not helping as yet
