Something’s not right

Not Coping

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I meant I don’t even much or say much, but I am glad talking to me helps.

Poetry helps me process my emotions

Re: Tw Not Coping

Maybe your regular has run out of ideas? LOL. @Birdofparadise8 .

 

Do I sound repetitive too? Tell me, honestly. I won't get offended.

 

It's actually good they provide you with a regular to speak to and for so long. 

 

Maybe you can use it as a chance to even debrief about what is happening for you right then and there?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Oh yeah, that's silly me. I can read messages, right.

 

No, you're very helpful, and you do say things to me which is good @creative_writer. You have a positive impact on me. 

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah, well, we have been speaking for the past eight months nearly weekly, if not sometimes twice a week. 

 

I guess you can as well. You suggest me do the self-compassion and challenging thoughts, but I don't know. Maybe I'm just not ready to do it and need to try something else, which I don't know what it would be. 

 

Yes nowhere else does it. It would be a good thing for SANE to do like the GS and KHL ways of regular chats combined but in SANE @tyme

 

Do you mean when I talk to her? 

Re: Tw Not Coping

How long was for both how many session, as well as the duration @Birdofparadise8 . . You can can answer whichever way.

 

So you've mentioned 30-90 mins.

 

So how many session do you get?

Re: Tw Not Coping

As many as I want till I am 25 years old. 

 

It is mostly once a week, but when I was really suicidal, it was like every day for that week. 

 

At the moment, we have been talking about once or twice a week. Though I don't speak to her again till the 11th as I have a busy week next week with work and my Mum comes over for the ballet on Saturday. 

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's a pretty awesome service @Birdofparadise8 ! There must be a huge need for it.

 

Guided Service is very new. Ideally, we would want to be able to provide unlimited sessions, but then, resourcing will be a challenge. It's very interesting how KHL are able to do it.

 

Does everyone get to have a regular? Or do you apply?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yeah it's pretty good. 

 

You can have regular and ad hoc sessions as needed for crisis support. Like my file, I know there is a file in there that I need when I am in a "crisis". 

 

My regular has mentioned she sees others regularly so a lot must do it. 

 

When others might just call for a one-off. 

 

I didn't have to apply or anything. She just mentioned to it once I decided who I wanted to be my regular then she told me she would and we could have the regular sessions. 

Re: Tw Not Coping

That's what it looks like @tyme
