I understand it becomes overwhelming at one time triggers nervous system I started breating exercises when first started felt silly but I go in garden sit on rocking chair and breath In and breath out slowly and keep repeating also ice cold water splash to face I have to motivate myself as I can be caught for hours in negative thoughts and fear been to loads of therapy loads and they always teached breathing exercises I used to zone out not listen but I'd rather try focus on that then my fearful thoughts

You have some good ideas there @Catherine21 . You are being so very kind to me and patient. Thank you doesn't always seem enough. I appreciate your time today. Take care of yourself too.

I have posted on another part of the forum about how I had a difficult phone call yesterday it made me feel like I was waisting thier time . It made me feel like a burden. I came on here feeling like I shouldn't bother people telling them I would let them have peace. I really don't know where I stand or what to do . I just feel like I'm in bother whatever I do or wherever I go .

When I posted on the other part and said I was leaving people in peace it got a Like ticked . I think that probably means Thank goodness.

Hi @Strawberry1, you are not a burden. Sorry to hear that you feel that way.
By leaving did you mean leave the forum or have a break? Hope you are okay. 🩷

Strawberry1

Thanks for the support @SunflowerValley , I thought it would be in the best interest to let people have some peace from me on here .

It won't take a rocket scientist to most probably figure out I have a lot of Mental health issues. One minute I'm giving out positive posts the next minute I'm posting about how I'm a burden and this forum doesn't need people like me bringing it down. I'm not actually looking for any sympathy I'm just posting about how I'm feeling at that moment in time . I know I've got something wrong with me . Do I apologise over and over for my inadequacies? Do I apologise over and over ? I know my mind is very very messy. This post may even be dismissed due to it being mine I have to accept this . I have always been very grateful for answers to questions I've asked . I've always been grateful for support and always will be . I don't really know how to thank people properly. I do actually struggle with being in environments in real life being around people I find being around people really really difficult. I believe I became involved in relationships via vulnerability thinking maybe the grass would be greener on the other side but it never is . If there is one good thing about this forum it is very helpful 😀. Hope people can find a little space in their heart or mind to brush my faults to one side and hopefully accept my inadequacies. Thank you in advance.

Strawberry, I didn't see any ticks under those posts. Are you sure you did? One of us would have reported anything unkind like that. Not being believed isn't nice and I don't want you to doubt yourself over this but those little icons are not as clear as the old version. Perhaps it was a slippy finger because there's nothing there now.

We are all allowed to have differing moods @Strawberry1 it's part of being human, so please don't worry about it. 😊

If we were all in the same mood all the time, life would be incredibly dull.

I think and I've done it myself especially on forums where we don't know each other write things in different ways can be taken wrong I literally jumped down poppy's throat only after going back and thinking oh god I reacted wrong as she was only trying to explain to me I thought she was dictating she wasn't at all and on that day I was feeling pretty low I enjoy your posts I think we all have something to bring to the table I understand when people are off well unless thier cursing me that can be the nature of some of our disabilities

Thanks Catherine. Yes, it's so easy to misunderstand others' language and intentions.

I know I upset you with a careless comment and it wasn't necessary so I trust it's not too late to apologise for that (tearful at the memory also cos it's just hard to say sorry)

Oh no I don't remember seriously don't worry my first week on here I was kicking off then feeling bad its good that people understand that its not meant in malice we are trying to protect ourselves no apologies needed i love this group really helped me with crippling gut wrenching fearful anxiety for hours days scared to open my eyes I just go on here use as a journal lol

Strawberry1

All of the kind words and support are accepted.

Strawberry1

I know I will very angry with myself if I've done the wrong thing by asking for an assessment.

Rosie_Scope

I don't think you've done the wrong thing by asking for an assessment @Strawberry1 😊 what about it would make you feel angry towards yourself?

Strawberry1

I suppose the reason I would be angry with myself would be because I will have wasted someone's time @Rosie_Scope .
