Hey my luv I’m feeling impulsive today, I think? A nap is an excellent idea and we all need a little self soothing after recent events 🩵 I’m considering making a video, something along the lines of:
“We need to talk about Angela”
I believe someone with the “same” issue as her (self harm) needs to speak up for the recovery community and those unable to voice the personal impact to them. I’m not one for boxes and so others may have absolutely done this but I haven’t yet seen a video like it I’m unsure if I’ll see this through because it will take a lot of emotional energy and honestly, I’m lowkey hoping a video will magically appear that covers all of this and saves me the job
I feel a need to do this, no one but myself is putting that pressure on me though
Oooh impulsive when I’m feeling like that it usually ends up costing us a lot of money .
I’m much better rested now, not sleeping well with this plague, it’s definitely the plague I feel so crap.
I think it’s the waste of services etc that really hits a trigger with me. I’ve never SH, but I worked with a lot of people who did in custody, and saw their shame etc, so I can’t begin to imagine the way this can trigger you all.
A video would be amazing, BUT not at the expense of your own MH and recovery.
We had a package put together for us by an organisation called 42nd street in Manchester, who do a lot of work for YP around SH. You might find this leaflet from their page useful to link, be aware though obviously it’s about SH.
