Please Talk To Me

[Bookoffee]

Thank you. I hope you are right. I wish my wife had the day off. I hate being a lone when I am like this. I do stupid things.

What kind of stupid things?

You seem like you're pretty hard on yourself!

I imagine it IS pretty hard, being there alone. I'm sort of the opposite way. When I'm having a hard time with something, I tend to keep it to myself. Not always the best choice, I guess.

Anyway, you aren't COMPLETELY alone. There will be someone around here all day for you to talk to.

I want to reach out to people in my family that are mentally damaging for help. I feel out of control of my emotions. I am that scared little girl that is searching for safety

You're right. That sounds like it would be a mistake.

You might FEEL like that scared little girl, but you're not her anymore. Now you're an adult and you can do what you need to to keep yourself safe. You're safe in your home, and you're safe here, online, with this community.

You've actually done a number of smart things the past few days. Reaching out here, for someone to talk to is a good choice. Do you have any friends or family where you live who are mentally healthy, safe people?

No I don't. Right now I only have two friends. One that has just as much anxiety and panic that I do that I know this would be too much for her to handle. The other one is the completely opposite and thinks what I did is funny. This is no laughing matter. I am not close to anyone in my family. Not enough to share this. My wife is working and I am trying to play it cool with her so she doesn't home. We need her working right now.

Do you have any notes or books from the time you were getting hospital/PHP care, @Bookoffee? Sometimes when I get hit hard by something and forget how to cope, I go back to my CBT and DBT books, and it really helps.

Thank you so much @joeylittle I never thought of that,
