    Sounds awfully familiar, especially the guilt. Sometimes it even activates my flight-fright system when I don't know how to get it out of my head.

    Today's self compassing was this guided meditation, it changed my perspective from 'I am stupid' to something entirely different. Thankfully. May appear easy, but it is not.

    And then something else came up and now I am back to being sad and shaky, feeling unworthy. What did I ever deserve for life to become such a nightmare?

    What do you do for self-compassion, Catherine? Or anyone else here?

    I have to do mantras challenge your thoughts they are bullying you making you believe your not worthy no one can hurt us more than we do ourselves would you say to other people wjat you say to yourself my loathing comes from trauma and I believe it comes from wanting everything to be perfect but I cant obtain perfection try to soothe yourself talk kindly with compassion impossible to do all the time as for most of us this is years of self torture put relationships life in the way more impacting not everything is our fault and we cant resolve or make things ok for everyone take time for yourself my go to is baths love baths do something little you enjoy could be as simple as a cup of tea and 20 mins for yourself I have a million conversations with myself so I do try to make some kind ps excuse my spelling

    Sorry you didn't make it out today @Schildpad. Tomorrow is a new day so see how you feel. Where do you volunteer?

    Too late for me, I already have a cold!

    There was a handful of people I missed very much on here that's why after 8 months I'm back, Bluebell was one she always checked on me on the threads on days I wasn't around that's something very few did and I never forgot It. I hope she will also wish to come back one day and whatever her reasons for leaving are aren't unresolvable. Please tell her I'm back and send her my very best 💛

    I'll do that right now Nightcity, it's a great shame, she's one of the very kindest, genuine people I've ever met and a force for good on the forum. You take good care and thanks 🫂.

    another quiet day at the mill, scraped myself out of bed and did a bit of washing. Then spent most of the day just watching tv, really struggling to say the least. Moved my appointment for my coflu boosters for probably the fifth time. Just honestly don’t want to leave the prison cell and don’t want to face the world.
