Yes it's ok but hard work. @Birdofparadise8 

Motivation can be hard to find and to sustain. Break it up into small manageable sections if you can. Do you want tell me more about your feelings? Are you safe and supported?

Hey @amber22 

I'm not sure. I'm still in hospital. I went for a walk earlier, which was nice. I wish I could feel better. 

I'm trying to do that @Blackbird11. I just feel so miserable. I'm sad, alone, stuck in my head. I'm starting to cry now. I'm safe not so sure about the support part but yeah.

What things typically bring you joy?

[Blackbird11]

You're not alone @Birdofparadise8  we're here for you. Crying is good it's the body's way of regulating it's self. Every tear shows you care. Do you like quotes?

[Birdofparadise8]

Thank you @Blackbird11 

I don't go looking for them, but if I one comes by I like, then yes.

Hi @Melbcoffeesnob 

Nice to meet you. 

Running, walking and bike riding. I also like cook, but I haven't done it for a while in hospital. 

Thank you for the hugs. I don't know when the last time I've had a deep and meaningful hug with someone.

Oh @Birdofparadise8 I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling upset right now.

As @Blackbird11 said, crying can be really therapeutic and it's really good to let it out. 

You have so much support around you and you are so valued here on the forums, do you have anything planned for tonight? 💘
