I need a holiday @amber22 

[ArraDreaming]

Tired and feel like complete shit couldn’t get out of bed this morning

[TuxedoCat]

hey @ArraDreaming, so sorry you're feeling crappy today. It's always crap waking up and feeling that way (I also feel it sometimes) 

[TuxedoCat]

not sure if it helps, but I've really loved some of the chats we've had this week 😊 @ArraDreaming 

[ArraDreaming]

Thanks @TuxedoCat 

doesn’t really help when someone says “oh gee you like tired” well thanks for pointing out the god damn obvious 

[ArraDreaming]

Me too @TuxedoCat 

[ArraDreaming]

I do this dumb shit when I feel like this and it’s that I worry I’m going to be like this for longer than I want and that I’m going backwards in my mental health but I know that’s fuckindumb lI know I can have some down days and it doesn’t have to mean anything but I get worried every time I feel bad that I’m slipping back into old times again

[TuxedoCat]

I know it wasn't your intention @ArraDreaming , but this made me laugh a tiny bit because YES! When someone just tells me I look crap? Do they think that will help?? 

[TuxedoCat]

hmm yeah, nobody wants to go "backwards" in their MH @ArraDreaming. Is there something you've done other times you feel like this and you're made yourself feel less worried? 

[ArraDreaming]

and I know I won’t I know deep down I’m allowed to have bad days/weeks without it meaning anything deeper I just have a hard time convincing myself of that @TuxedoCat I don’t know why I feel like I need to convince myself and others of it but I do.
