Think I will be in bed very soon @Captain24 Izzy is already there waiting for me!

Are you back in bed now?

[Captain24]

I’m just getting them to go to the toilet and then I’m getting back in. @Snowie. 

Now they have decided to be friends and play! That shouldn’t last long.

I did hurt myself though. I couldn’t control it. I feel so ashamed. I’m sorry. But I guess at least that’s it.

I can’t take my night meds though.

Thank you @Snowie. I’m in bed now. I just have to stay here and fight the urge. I appreciate you waiting for me. 

I hope you are able to sleep better tonight than you have been. 

Thank you..

[Snowie]

Don't be ashamed @Captain24 I did earlier today. It is what it is.

I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight too.

Thank you for keeping me company tonight. I really appreciate it especially since you are hurting so much yourself.

[Captain24]

Sorry @Snowie. I ended up turning it around onto myself. Some support person I am. 

[Snowie]

No need to be sorry @Captain24 

Sometimes that support needs to go both ways.

We can always offer support at the same time as needing help too.

@Captain24  Sorry to hear you're struggling so much. I'm curious - why can't you take your night meds? 

[NatureLover]

@Snowie  That's not good that you were triggered but left hanging in your psych appt yesterday.

How are you feeling today? 

[Captain24]

Hey @NatureLover. Because I wouldn’t have taken them correctly..

Hey @Snowie 

I hope today is reasonable for you

[NatureLover]

I did wonder if that was what you meant, @Captain24 . 

How did you sleep without them?
