Hi folks before I post this I haven’t posed it in a wile due to having a serously shit time and also the last few times I’ve posted it I’ve had some hate in my pms  it’s left me at a cross road do I continue to post this or not ??
How are you all doing folks ?
How has your week been ? Has there been more ups than downs or vice versa ?
Use this as a safe spot to talk about anything that’s on your mind and vent
My pm is open for anyone that wants to talk privately or wants someone to listen or for advice
And remember you are never alone

Oh, it's rubbish you got shit in your DM's. I think the positives of these threads probably outweigh the negatives, though?
My week has been challenging. I had a PIP review, which are always difficult, my newly married brother had a mini-stroke, and all of my pets have had to be put to sleep. It's my kids week with their dad, so now I'm in a house without anone/thing to love and care for. It's really tough, but I imagine I'll adjust in time.
Despite all of the above, I'm OK. I'm very sad and lonely, understandably, but there's been no relapse into despair and suicide ideation. I think I must have those DBT coping mechanism finely honed, now  |

🤗 to anyone struggling right now. You’re not alone, even if it feels that way.
In my darkest moments I always return to Desiderata. It has helped me when I seemed the light had gone out.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Sorry you are getting grief OP but based on previous experience here doesn't surprise me.
Hugs for your tough week Nell and anyone else who needs
I wish I could change my thinking as each week goes by from another week somehow survived to another week with a chance to learn.
I know I am better off than many but unfortunately that does not help me with my thoughts.
Contemplating trying group courses to see if will help but partly worried hearing others stories will just make me feel more guilty for my thoughts |
