When I can't I write ...

When I can't sleep, remain still and so on I write, however I'm stuck with nothing but a piece posted to instagram around an hour or so ago and this thread wanting to come out of me, I haven't been able to sleep the last 3 days (properly) and I have to leave for work in just under 2 hours, I feel very disconnected for the most part (even though I have 7cups) I don't know who to turn to, my go to lines "lifeline" and my acute care team take the edge off but I can't reach out to them just because I can't sleep and feel disconnected, to me they are for when I spiral, but right now I really don't know, maybe they are for just anything.

My mind is so confused.

@InkStainedFingers I'm sorry you are having such a hard time sad Why do you think you are having troubles sleeping? Do you think that anxiety might be keeping you up? I'd encourage you to read our self-help guide on Sleeping-well It may help you to understand why you are losing sleep. It also has some helpful suggestions that you may benefit from reading.

From what I've read from earlier posts from you and right now, it sounds as if you are struggling quite a bit with anxiety. I know that's not easy to deal with and I truly hope things in your life have improved a little.

You are more than welcomed to message me if you would like 1-1 support. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you! heart

@KindListening
Thank you for the link, information and offer for support, many of you are willing to listen and I really appreciatethat, I had no idea what to expect and I'm still feeling everything out, chat requests could come, not straight away, I'm building up to it and I hope that it's OK because I don't want anyone to think they offered and I ignored them, it's extremely hard for me to start conversations not knowing the person, because of my deep rooted fears that turn to panic attacks and paranoia.

@InkStainedFingers That's completely understandable and I totally respect your feelings on not feeling comfortable talking 1-1 with a listener. You have ever right to do what makes you feel comfortable here on 7cups, there are no rules when it comes to your comfort! Just know the offer always stands if you ever feel like you would want to! smiley
