@tyme getting lost did mean I got more exercise into the day but I was able to get to the student event. My legs are so sore today. I just hope once I actually start classes it goes smoothly. I am anxious about interacting with people. I’ve become so isolated from people that it just feels safer to be alone. I know not all people cause unnecessary drama and/or have malicious intents.

@NatureLover thank you ❤️

I have my psychologist appointment on Monday now.

@creative_writer  thinking of you and sending wishes for hope and for the SI to go away...

I hope your psychology appt goes well tomorrow 💙

@NatureLover thank you ❤️. Really struggling right now with the thoughts in my head, just have to get through until next Monday for my appointment.

Sorry to hear, @creative_writer  😞

Is your appt today, or Monday week? I hope it's today...

Sending wishes for you... 💙

@NatureLover ❤️ my appointment was today. I also got a call from the mental health program (which goes on for 3 months) today too for an assessment. Just trying to hang in there. I think I probably shouldn’t listen to so much depressing music, because in excess it might make me feel worse.

I don’t want to say anything that will trigger anyone else on here so I won’t elaborate. But my body feels so uncomfortable and tense.

Sitting with you @creative_writer . More than you realise I think

Hi @creative_writer I'm sorry to hear that. It must be hard to sit with those feelings. Have you reached out to anyone outside of the forums for support? 

Here with you 💝

@Captain24thank you ❤️

@Paperdaisy ❤️ I think a somatic flashback was triggered. It just happened tonight so I haven’t spoken about it yet. Not ready to yet, need some time to process.

@creative_writer 💝 I hear you. A hot shower always helps me.
