Venturing out of the dark *TRIGGERS*

[S deleted]

I'm completely detached at the moment. These dark thoughts don't feel like they're mine.

I can totally relate to that. Almost as if you're watching your life story being played out in a movie. Like it's not real.

Exactly like that. I'm getting through on autopilot. I've got stuff done today but I feel exhausted now.

You've done a lot today. You should be proud of yourself.

[Jaquaia]

I don't feel proud. I feel nothing

[magie06]

Small steps though. I'm proud of you so maybe that will be enough for this evening?

[Amaya]

Do you often feel detached like this or is it a new thing?

I hope you have something nice to do for yourself tonight

It used to be only when I hurt myself but now it's almost constant.

I am not a doctor, but I think detachment is a natural protective instinct when feeling becomes too overwhelming. You shut down to protect. I think that means you need a hug: *hug*

[Jaquaia]

I can't even remember my appointment now. It's all a blur.
