It's loud so loud

@Scarebear83 sorry to hear that you had that experience. I know our mental health system is far from perfect so it can be very hard to get the help you need sometimes. 

Sorry that you don't have any support around you, it can make times like this even more challenging. But we are here to support you however we can and to let you know you aren't alone in this. 

Have you been able to do some self care today, having a nice warm drink or having a shower? 

[Scarebear83]

Not yet.
I need to shower. Couldn't do it yesterday.

@Scarebear83 ok that's a good first step then. Do you think you could manage to have a shower and see how you feel after?

I'm not going anywhere and I'll still be around to chat if you need to. 

[Scarebear83]

The shower is so loud . Don't think I can do that yet. There enough already

@Scarebear83 that's ok. The shower can wait. 

Do you have any plans for the day? 

[Scarebear83]

I have an appointment at 1.30 but I don't want to get up.

[Former-Member]

@Scarebear83 what's the appointment for if you don't mind sharing? Is it something that's important and could help at the moment?

You still have a bit of time before the appointment so let's just take things one step at a time. 

I know a shower feels too much right now but are you able to splash some water on your face or even use a flannel to wipe your face? Just something small that you can do for yourself.

Hey @Scarebear83 just checking in to see how you are going. Did you manage to make it to your appointment yesterday? 

[Scarebear83]

I pulled myself together.
But didn't last
.Just starting to feel really really off.

@Scarebear83 that's ok, the point is you were able to for a while. 

I'm here if you want to chat. I understand things are hard for you but you aren't alone 🙂
