Ex member despart for support

[ElaineB29]

I am really struggling please can someone help me

Hey Elaine

Take 10deep breaths in and out (which sounds bonkers but helps I promise).

Now:

- has someone hurt you? Do you feel unsafe? If so, you can call 999, & if you are being listened to, press 55 on your phone when the operator answers. That will tell the operator you need help.

If no:

- how do you feel? Scared? Angry? Despairing? Etc!

- does anything hurt physically?

- how long have you felt your emotional and physical symptoms?

- do you know why you feel this way? Is it lots of things or one thing?

- if you could wave a magic wand, what three things in your life would you change?

Very supportive practical post. Thanks SFG.

Just worrying about Elaine now...

Elaine I hope you are ok.

Yeah, it's worrying. The anonymity of this site is an asset, but distressing if you see someone in need but you don't have a way to help.

Hi Elaine sorry you're struggling. If you can explain a little what you're struggling with, it would be easier to help you. And what do you mean ex member? Take care and keep your chin up 💛

So sorry to hear this Elaine, but you are not alone, we are all here for you, no-such things as ‘ex’ members, you are part of our ‘family’ ❤️

First of all, might it help to share your worries?

[Subtle_badger]

I want to join the others in offering you help, Elaine.

Hope you are doing better, but please come back! We want to talk!!
