- Today I felt... quite odd to be honest. I was fixating on some really unhealthy things last night and today at work it just... sort of struck me? how if I act on those desires there's a real chance I could be hospitalized. And yet.. I love my job. I find joy and purpose in my work. I would miss it desperately. And... if I can't stay safe for myself, perhaps I can stay safe for the kids I work with. Because they would wonder where I went and why I was gone and I would never have a good answer for them.
- Regarding the quote... the part that stands out for me today is C - Caring about yourself, because I've had a hard time feeling anything at all about what I do to my body. I honestly don't care. Maybe I will later. I have in the past. But honestly I don't care that it's technically hurting me. But learning to care again -- even if that means feeling some regret -- is an important step towards recovery. Staying in this numb sort of state where I don't feel anything at all about what damage I wreck on my flesh... that has to change in order for me to reach recovery. Even though it scares me to think of caring (and regretting, and the shame) about this body of mine.
(i'm not sure about songs atm)
@RabbitTangerine
so you were in a self feflection moment then when it hit you at work im glad you find purpose within your work thats awesome to hear its also good if you struggle to do something for you focusing on something that you can focus on getting better for is also aweesome for recovery
aww i hope someday you will care for yourseolf as you matter
its fine if you arent sure about songs right now can always come bk to this thread
@CaringBrit Hiya, How are you?
I'm, eh. Been sick, feeling a little better, now just kind of down.
overcoming my demons - I need to exorcise them they run me ragged at times,
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
In the bed that I have made
Too many songs to list
Take care
@mytwistedsoul
im good thanks for asking minus the cold having me feeling bleugh and fatigued
aww no being sick is no fun glad your feeling a little better anf aww no on feeling down is everything ok
who was the song lyric by
@CaringBrit Sorry to hear you have a cold! This winter has been hard on everyone. Most of the time you don't know how to dress. Too much clothes, you sweat and get a chill, too little and you're just cold. Take care of yourself.
I just have alot of stuff on my mind and I've been pushing myself hard with things. Sleep is still kind of elusive.
The lyrics.. that's another part of the song Fade by Staind.
Take care, I hope you feel better soon.
@mytwistedsoul yeah this winter sux in britain the coldest ever i think tbh hopefully feb is the last coldest month then spring i cannot wait lol
thanks for concern im resting when its needed
aH cool im not much for heavy heavy metal otherwise id listen
@CaringBrit I know I can't wait until spring either. It's been brutal here, temp wise. It's 4 degree's at the moment and supposed to drop as the day goes on. Then with the snow...ugh..just, enough all ready. I would much rather mow grass then shovel snow.
Rest is good, recharges your batteries. I wish I did it more. I've heard that taking zinc helps shorten a cold. Not sure if it actually works.
It's kind of heavy but not screamy as you put earlier. It's kind of slower. Not heavy metal like Anthrax or Iron Maiden. Idk, just a good song.
@mytwistedsoul not long to struggle til spring almost there my money will thank me when its spring less heating needed
@CaringBrit I cheat and heat with wood. Free but alot of hard work, idk the last month, month and a half of winter seems to last forever. February.. I always have a hard time with that month...so close to spring but so far away too.
Honestly been pretty awful. I've been hiding a lot more of my actual feelings and pain which has only led to me expressing it in the only way I can... I really wish I had someone to cry to in the middle of the night.
@DyingPetals Hey I'm sorry to hear you're feeling bad. It's hard to be open with people about how you're feeling. It can be hard to explain the things to people. There are listener's on here that you can talk to. I haven't tried it yet but I've heard that they're quite good. I know it helps to just get things off your chest and out of your mind, even if it's just in a post. Everyone here at 7cups has been very kind and helpful. I've found that I'm not as alone in my battles as I thought, ya know? I don't mean to pry or intrude, I'm sorry if it seems that way. I just wanted to say hey and let you know you're not alone.
Be gentle with yourself
@DyingPetals Hey there sorry to hear youve not been feeling so great hugs if you would like one and depending on the time in ET you can pm me ik i only take scheduled chats you can even schedfule one with me bt any unplanned might not be fast responses but you can vent away in my inbox know that im reading it if you would find this helpful
