Lived Experience Forum

Info about PGC here for you @Flowerlove22!! 

"...chat in real-time with others living with complex mental health issues as well as family, friends and carers. Peer Group Chats are free to attend. Peer Group Chats focus on a specific topic and are guided by peer workers with lived experience of mental health issues. A moderator is in the background to make sure chats are as safe as possible for participants."

This week the topic is 'Catching the fall' - about recognising our warning signs, learning to recognise emotional changes within ourselves and how we can cultivate emotional resilience to minimise the impact on our mood and overall state of mind.

To join in, head to the link above, and scroll down to find a black button that says "Open Peer Group Chat in new window" - it will take you to another website where you can join the chat - it starts in half an hour. You can join as a guest, which means you can watch the chat unfold, but if you want to participate you'll need to create an account with Chatwee (the website we use to host the chats). 

Maybe I'll see you in there!

Hey @Flowerlove22 

Do you want to tell me more about what do you mean by everyone is angry at you?

[Flowerlove22]

Hey @Friendlyflutter 

My siblings is angry at me my partner is cross with me this world is angry at me 

Everything is angry at me  

Everything everyone why do I try  

I had a big big argument with my brother all he cared about is himself everything is about him he gets everything  

I told the kids tonight I am not taking them camping I walked out  I upset everyone I am sick off it 

I punch the wall I am in my room very angry at everything why do I try  

@Friendlyflutter sorry you didn't need all that sorry 😐😡

@Flowerlove22 Fights with siblings are always bad and can cause internal turmoil!

Try breathing in and breathing out to help you calm yourself and take a break. 

It is important to take some time out and self-care ❤️

@Friendlyflutter thankyou ❤️❤️
