@Bow Do you have anything on over the weekend? Maybe could be helpful to make a little plan for yourself - ways to support yourself, nice activities you could engage in to keep busy, like gardening or painting. Maybe make plans with your D or something.

I wanted to try and do something nice with my d this weekend @Jynx but I really don’t know if I am well enough.
meds have been dropped off. They asked how I was and I told them I was really struggling but they didn’t give any space to talk further 😩 I give up

That's rough @Bow - it really does sound like you are keen to be able to talk to someone. Could you give the sane line a try?
Maybe make soft plans to do something nice with her. You could share the plans so it's more likely that you'll wanna go, if she is super keen. Or don't share just in case you're too weary. But having something to look forward to is always helpful in my experience.

@Jynx Nah…. Whenever I have called recently it’s always someone I’ve never spoken to before. Seems to be heaps of newbies?
yeah maybe I’ll plan someone nice just at home. And if I’m feeling up to it take her out for a treat- she always likes that.

Yeah we got a few new folks @Bow they're super lovely. Can understand that it can be a bit harder talking to someone new, but that's the only way you get to know a person haha
Sounds super cute! I'm sure she'd love it, and you might just love it too 😊

I tried the butterfly foundation. I knew it would be risky and tried to be mindful of what I shared but obviously not careful enough. They called services, but thankfully services called me first to ask if it was needed. I said no. I’m ok. Thankfully avoided that.
maybe my body will just stop at some point overnight. Maybe it will of just had enough like my head has had enough. End the misery. I’m so depleted. weary

Was the call still useful or helpful for you @Bow? Glad that mh services checked in with you.
I can really hear how exhausted you are, mind body and soul. I'm sorry that everything is so heavy for you right now.
