Good afternoon @Bow so proud of you for noticing what you needed and talking with you psychologist about it. Even though it can be hard to be honest about such difficult times. Well done ❤️
If you think going to hospital is going to be best for you, then that choice is yours. I know a lot us have hesitated about it before, so you're not alone.
A written plan is so helpful when our brains are muddled up. I get like that too and have strategies stuck on my wall.
What are you getting up to tonight?
We're sitting with you,

I hope last night wasn't as distressing @Bow ?
I'm glad you have a clear Safety Plan now 💜
I'm doing OK, thanks...

Inside my head is such a mess
i can’t make sense of things
its so loud and fast
It feels overwhelming
I can’t stop, cause it gets to much
i need to keep going, keep moving
in the silence it’s becomes deafening
in the stillness it becomes unbearable
the noise…. The arguments
like a drill sergeant barking orders
i try hard to resist
i try hard not to do what it says
but I don’t know for how long I can resist
it’s trying to destroy me that I know
i feel scared of it
scared that it will win
scared that it will all be over soon
i get to the point that of feeling distressed
distressed by the noise and the plans
the thoughts are there all the time
what if impulses take over?
what if it succeeds?
im terrified.
trying to stay safe
