Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!

Hey @Molliex. Great to hear you had some good in your day yesterday. So nice to have some time off being mum and to relax.

Sorry about the need to reschedule your appointment though, especially not long after such a hard night on Thursday. That kind of curve ball can really throw me off. 8 days can feel like forever when getting through one day can be so hard 🙁 The worry about tomorrow sounds big too. Any plans for how you might spend your time until then?

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!

that sounds really tough @Molliex
is there anything you can do today that's distracting to keep your mind occupied for a while?

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!

Hi @CheerBear thanks for your reply.

I'll see my family today, which is both nice and so much effort to put on a good face. 

 

I'm trying to arrange a catch up with a friend. I have Mondays off work at the moment, and I don't think it's a good idea for me to be alone too much.

 

8 days does seem like an eternity right now 🌻

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!

Totally get how nice it can be to see family but difficult when you need to put on a good face @Molliex. Do your family know how about your struggles? I find good face (or "I'm fine face" for me) exhausting. Do you have a little one/s? Sorry if I've already asked that. It's tricky to keep up with everyone sometimes.

Sounds like a good idea to be around a friend at the moment.

Very much hearing you with the eternity of a week ❤

I just spent two hours cleaning a whole winter's worth of bird poo off the patio and outdoor furniture 😂😂

 

How are you going @outlander? 🌻🌻

Re: Dealing with intrusive thoughts - my struggle!

I have a 2 year old @CheerBear

My family know I have MH issues and am getting treatment, but they don't know the extent of how serious it is. I couldn't tell t3. My mum was devastated enough about what I did tell her.

Hope you're having a calm Sunday 🌻🌻

Thanks @MDT. Just trying to be distracted, stay around people. Too easy to slip into self harming behaviours.

Hope you're doing well today and enjoyed your Return of the King viewing last night 👍🌻
