Tw Not Coping

[tyme]

That's okay @Birdofparadise8 ,

Take it easy, but if you feel up to it, maybe a walk will help?

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah maybe @tyme

@Birdofparadise8, we are here if you want to talk. You always have helplines you can reach out to. I hope you can do something kind for yourself, even if it's small. Do you have any ideas of what you could do?

I'm okay, experiencing a continuation of "contamination thoughts", I suppose that's just me processing trauma. Even though I technically know these thoughts make no sense, but brain for some reason disagrees.

Hi @tyme, sounds like you had a good start to the day 🙂 , do you have much else planned?

[tyme]

I will be meeting up with a new Peer Worker on the forums later today @creative_writer . I'll tag you in when I introduce you 🙂

I just told my aunt everything, and she wants me to get what I need for dinner at a supermarket that is far away so I don't stay in my room. 

I wouldn't say it was the best conversation @creative_writer @tyme she wants to tell my parents, but I don't really want that. 

[tyme]

I think it's good to get out of your room @Birdofparadise8 - do that first and see how things go.

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah, I will @tyme 

I think she is worried, though. I don't want things to escalate.

@Birdofparadise8, see how you go, I think getting out would be a good idea. I know how much you don't want your parents to know hon, I didn't want my parents to know when I got sent to ED before, but they found out and it wasn't all that great. But ultimately your parents do care about you

[Birdofparadise8]

Mmm I guess I’ll just have to see how things go tonight @creative_writer 

[Birdofparadise8]

Can I ask how they found out and were you over the age of 18 @creative_writer?
