Wow, thank you so much for sharing this with us @CavingDreamer. I want to give you a big, warm welcome to the forums and really honour the beautiful way you've just articulated yourself and your experiences. I am still letting them sit with me. I know that things have felt very vulnerable, painful, and isolating as of late... and that the right support has been hard to come by, but I genuinely feel like you will experience some wonderful, healing connections here. I shall let you explore the space a bit and find what feels good, but I am more than happy to tag you in some chats you might resonate with and answer any questions you may have.
Overall, we're all here to support you in any way we can! 💛
I’m new to Sane but have struggled with MH for most of my life (36yo).
most recently I was in hospital for 2.5 weeks and another 2.5 weeks at a community recovery centre. I’ve been home full time for almost two weeks now and gosh it’s hard.
I did not expect to survive my attempt at taking my life. I’ve on and off had SI but had never acted on the thoughts until last month.
anyway, trying to get my life back together after a pretty traumatic time. starting up regular therapy again and will be going to an ACT group fortnightly.
Hello @K8eand a big warm forums welcome to you. 🥰
I am so glad to read that you have some supports available to you after such a vulnerable time... knowing that you have reached out here makes me smile, because I get the sense you will meet some very like-minded humans, who will be able to hold space for all facets of your recovery; no matter what it looks like.
Please let us know if there's anything you need, we can answer your questions and guide you towards some threads you might resonate with as well. Don't hesitate to start your own conversation either, I am sure many people will connect with your experience.
Thank you for joining us here and looking forward to being on this journey with you.
