Life and trauma

[Former-Member]

@MJG017 I'm in the southern side of the city but the walk in is actually at my doctors but it's not an option cos I can only speak to my gp. 

Rent prices are really ridiculous, I get annoyed when you ring one of the housing places and they just say to find somewhere cheaper, do they not realise that there is nothing cheaper. I've tried homeless connect they can't do anything and suggested what I've already done. I made contact with the rent right one last year and they had me in tears, the person I spoke to screamed at me and told me to just be happy that I had a roof over my head. And toward home weren't helpful a few years ago when I tried them. 

I just can't handle this, not with everything else that's going on. Why can't everything just stop for a while i need to catch my breath and i can't.

I'm sorry that so much extra stress is being put on you right now.    I wish I could think of something else you could try with the rent issue.  Maybe someone else will have an idea or two.

@MJG017 thanks for your help though. It's just such a sh!t situation.

@Former-Member 

There's no other way to put it sadly.  But we'll help and support you through it however we can.

Why is it so hard to just get through each minute today 😞.

@Former-Member someone forgot to switch off the 'time goes agonisingly slow' button maybe! You poor thing, doing it tough today eh? Here with ya 💜

[Former-Member]

@Jynx tough is an understatement 😞. 

[Jynx]

@Former-Member is 'gruelling' a more accurate word perhaps? Formidable? Strenuous? Laborious?

I definitely didn't go to thesaurus.com what are you talking about

Now that you finished your Winnie the Pooh colouring, you got something else ready to go?

[Former-Member]

@Jynx There's just not even a word for it, more just a combination of everything. 

I can't even do any colouring today, pencils are out again cos of how I'm feeling. Trying so hard to stay strong but I'm crumbling.

Is there anything we can do to support you right now?  It really does sound like it's been one of those horrible days.  Try to keep reminding yourself that it is just that... a bad day, even a very bad day.  But that doesn't mean all days will be like this.  We just need help you through and keep you safe.
