Good Morning NerdyNeytiri

Welcome to the forum, welcome to this community and to reaching out for some support and some care and comfort at this time. I am so proud of you for being able to find us here and to put a post together to let us sit with you at this time, it is not easy to do so well done, this is awesome.

I want to firstly congratulate you on being able to manage the battle and be able to be in a place where you said "I was going so well", what I hear from that is that you have been able to make some wonderful progress in your wellness journey, that in the past you have had some huge battles to manage and you did that very successfully, no self harm or bad thoughts, I was so very impressed and so very pleased to read that. Why??? well this is a huge flag for you, a huge flag that is waving for you called HOPE..and that is wonderful. The fact that in the past you have been able to make some real progress and feel somewhat better means that you are very able to make this progress again, and again, and again...however many times it takes ...and as we know it is not an easy journey, if it was ill mental health would not exist...and nothing that is worth anything comes easy my friend.

Know we are here for you, to listen to whatever you would like to share here, to get it off your chest and to help you through this time.

I also wanted to say that you mentioned being "so close to losing it"...I also wanted to point out..close..BUT..not there and this is also so brave of you, so strong and I am so proud you have reached out BEFORE you did get to a place where it was much darker. I am so grateful to be chatting with you now.

I hope to chat some more with you if you would like to.

Hugs to you NerdyNeytiri

Sarah
