Hi @Gremlin24 

Sweetheart,  it's completely understandable that you're feeling emotional. Please know I often feel this way. You have helped me.....

Something that's helped me, is tiny acts of self care like -

Putting moisturizer on my face.

Even just getting those essential groceries is a step. And if you don't feel up to it, that's okay too.

Being gentle is something iv learned......try not to beat yourself too much.... Perhaps all you can do is -

combing your hair,

washing your hands with warm water and nice soap, 

making yourself a cup of tea

  Please be kind to yourself

What would you say to someone else ? 

 How would you treat them?

Try to offer yourself that same level of care.

Iv lost count of how many people's houses iv cleaned for 6 months in the past to give them a helping hand. 

Do you know phone lines or forums to help ? Can I help you ?

been thinking about doing a trip over to WA  @PeppyPatti  but cant justify it atm after I get some sort of work/and/or get next inheritance lol

[Gremlin24]

Thanks @PeppyPatti for the kind words. It's all just taking a toll at the moment. 

I got out of bed, did my hair, brushed my teeth and had to head to the shops. 

I've been listening to music and doing my colouring. I'm not able to do much as I've been having vivid flashbacks and keeping myself in the present moment and grounded is really a challenge. 

I'm always the one to offer suggestions to others when it comes to self care but actually doing them myself is hard. 

I haven't used the helplines lately after what happened. I come here to have that connection with people so I don't feel so alone. You help just by being here and chatting to me ❤️.
