yeah. It can all sound formulaic and scripted after awhile. A sickening loop of careless folly...
What would you say @Birdofparadise8 if someone were telling you your own story?..

My medication is downstairs, and I need to go there to heat food up in the mic but my thoughts are all to consuming to go and get the meds as well @Kyle1
I don't know. I can't right now. No facial will fix how I am feeling,

Hey @Birdofparadise8 so sorry to hear that you got what felt like a very generic response when you reached out for support tonight. I just want to say I'm here with you 💜

@Birdofparadise8 hey, I've been there! Can't get myself 5 meters up the hall for meds sometimes...
But sounds like you either go get them, dear. Or cry yourself to sleep...

Hi @Jynx
Thank you.
It definitely does. My regular told me to contact them if I was wanting to go get my medication from down stairs and that's what I did, but now I just feel worse than before. A facial won't fix anything.

Mm @Birdofparadise8 would be a very frustrating thing to be told in the face of how intense you're feeling. I guess sometimes connecting to helplines can be a roll of the dice - you might get someone better next time. For right now, maybe just some deep breaths and allow the hurt and frustration to exist, and also remind yourself those feelings will subside eventually.

Yeah, maybe @Jynx.
I just don't get it sometimes. I reach out for help and all I get is do this and this, and you'll be fine.
Ferrero rocher has there new ice cream on sale. I might get the train and go to Woollies to get it so that I get out of the house. It might help separate my thoughts and want to get the medication.
