Need of support

[Bloomy]

just a little to much on my plate right now and Im getting hyper. Feel lonely in my strive for healing. No one around in real life to talk with to get some comfort. Share flat so I cant even get sought after rest at home.
I need to hang on. For my bare life. I want so bad to make this happen.

Sorry to hear you are feeling this way. Do you know of any mindfulness or distraction techniques you can run through to help calm you down. What about taking a walk, to just get out of feeling cooped up in the house?
*sending you positive thoughts*

I, too, am alone in my recovery in real-time. Are there any groups in your area that deal with any of the issues with which you are grappling? For me, there are Al Anon issues for dealing with my parent's alcoholism and Alzheimer's groups for dealing with caring for my mom, etc.... I've not yet been able to go, but know they are there when I am ready. Also, can you go to a coffee/tea house just to be amongst others and maybe read or work on your laptop? Sometimes, I feel it helps just to be around people and not so isolated. The only other idea I can think of that has worked for me when I can calm down enough to do so is to write in my journal. Maybe you could do that at the coffee house or the library? Just a few thoughts for you. Hoping the best for you. VB

Problem is that everything stresses me. I want to be alone. All alone. I live i the middle of city with blocks around. Okay. Close curtains then. But need to rent out living room in house to stranger and house is small enough for one. I just need to be without any people to consider at all. To just be by my self with out having to think avout acting proper.

Have to hold it 14 more days until tenant moves out. Then Ill leave alone 12 beautiful peaceful restoring rejuventaing days.

Wow, I'd like some of that peace and quiet too. I live in an apartment complex and the noise from the child that moved in downstairs a few months ago is driving me absolutely insane. I just got of the phone with the office as I'd had enough. I'm really thinking about calling Child Protective Services as I've never heard a young one scream, wail and yell like that one. It's unreal.

Glad to know that you have an end in sight, maybe focus on that and try to distract yourself with what works for you. I have an adult coloring book that works rather well at that, but everyone has their own distractors that work for them. Sorry to hear of your intense anxiety. I can certainly relate to that. Best to you. VB

Sorry to hear you are having a rough time. how about putting on some restful music some nature sounds even. plug the headphones in and see if it can open up a bit of space in your head if you cant get it physically. even if you have to put a do not disturb sign up.

I know this is an older post but either way I am sorry that u are feeling this way. I hope by now it is better. Sometimes If we get so down or hopeless it's necessary for further intervention to get to a place u feel safe and get rest. I recently felt similar and was not sleeping or taking care of myself properly. I stayed two nights at a hospital and I slept better there than I had in months and felt peace there. Even when u would think itd be the opposite it wasn't. It was just What i needed to get a break from my reality and feel safe and helped. Doesn't mean it cured it all it does mean I learned ALOT of new ways to cope and good habits to help myself. U should check into something similar if u think itd help. It may be the best thing u have done in awhile for YOU! Take care of YOU first.
