Something’s not right

Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Re: Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Thanks for the support it would be nice if I could have a normal emotion with out being sedated.
So sick of the mess im in

Re: Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Hey @hiddenite
I often wonder what is normal and do I want to be normal? I think I prefer to be ordinary..because being ordinary means I can do what other ordinary people would do..and my feelings will improve along the way..
I needed sedation when I was unwell just to stop my brain whirring 24/7
I was weaned off them as my thoughts and feelings improved..and that took around 2 weeks...really assisted with the obsessive thoughts I was experiencing..
Took another 6 weeks to wean off the sedating meds..but was a necessary step for my wellness in the long run..
Gentle hugs for you Karen, come sit by the fire tonight. I think @ Elke has the warm fire going tonight..

Re: Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Alway a warm fire here to sit by during the cool weather, so come and grab a seatWoman Very Happy

Hi @hiddenite 

Hope your day has been ok, and that you are feeling ok tonight. Here snuggled up in my blanket, keeping warm and sending positive thoughts to you,

Re: Despair *potential trigger: abuse*

Thinking of you Karen & Lisajane. There's supposed to be snow on Mt Donna Buang tomorrow (but I won't tell my 7 yo - it's her birthday tomorrow). It's getting down to around 4C in Wesburn at night, and it is usually colder here. So the fire's going and the candle will be lit later, as always.

Wishing you both a warm hug and a good night's sleep.

Hope for peace endures...

Kindest regards, 

Kristin

How exciting for your lil girl, hope she (and you) has a lovely day! Its been cold here too, but not quite as cold as there. Going to be 6 degrees tonight, but been raining alot! I live in the South East of SA. Its nice and green here now though. Was such a change after moving from Central Australia with no rain and all the beautiful reds.

Hope you sleep well too Kristin, I know things havent been easy for you either,

take gentle care of yourself too,

Dear ladies,

How are you all? Love this conversation and your all so creative. Change always happens through creativity doesn't it ?? I think at. Least. I'm saying this. Because of Sandy's message on medication; like a reality check. I thought about it so much today because this is what I'm going through but in no way ready to reduce.

I must say, I'm always blown away with the slight push ( I feel) I get from you all when I'm having a meltdown. Sandy's reminder to reality on medication has really really helped me out. I always love reading @kristin's messages with the nature of the river and oh.....now I'm imagining images of central Australia thanks to @Former-Member.

@hiddenite you always send messages of hope a gentle reminder that I'm being thought of. Does all agree ??

I'm really feeling change in myself thanks to all In sane forums .......

Re: Despair *potential trigger: abuse*
