    Likewise, I've been thinking about his welfare lately.

    Hello everyone sorry  for my absence  . The last thing I wanted  is for anybody to worry. I'm not doing well and I decided  to not post . I was getting  lost and I can't talk about symptoms  with anybody. I'm walking nearly all day most days . I reached  out for help and so far it's 3 weeks since I saw the mental health crisis  team. Nothing has materialized.  I'm sorry. I got freaked out . I still am.  Love each Other that's all we can do. Thanks again Mickey  for reaching beyond. I'm still absorbing the music as it's all new to me.

    Glad to know you're okay - I was just worried because of your last posts before you took a break. I understand needing the break completely. Hang in there - one hour at a time I guess, eh?

    Yes 1 hr at a time. I'm fucked but I'm doing everything  possible  to be active and busy. I guess my fate is my fate. You are all good people.  But some upset me so I decide to stay away

    If you feel a need for a break from here then don't feel bad about it.

    Today I realized, "Fvck!  In less than a week I have to leave for 7 days because of roofing work."  I love day trips but it's gotten to where staying away from home even one night is hard.  A week may prove to be nearly overwhelming.  I know I have to do it, probably nothing bad will happen, but I'm already majorly stressing over having to leave for that long.  I have poor auditory discrimination so when I'm gone at night, my brain engages and zooms in on every freakin' sound trying to identify it so as to know where I am is secure.  Strange places are a war zone of sounds.  Next week will be a huge challenge for me.  Gotta get through it.

    Can you just wear headphones and listen to groovy tunes the whole time?

    That's a good idea. Or just earplugs. Plus maybe a Nytol or two? ;)

    When I do have to overnight elsewhere, I always take my portable CD player with headphones, extra batteries and a stack of CD's including (always!) the two solo albums J Mascis made and some P.J., Replacements and Uncle Neil plus whatever the latest I'm listening to.  The only problem is, I can't lie on my back face up due to vertigo issues and lying on my side with ear bugs or headphones gets uncomfortable very fast. 

    I know... just take me out to pasture and shoot me.  :lol:

    I'm just going to my emergency  mental health  appointment  to get me back into the system at a higher level. I can't  stop crying utter despair . Thank you for caring my friend 

    Hey lastexit...hope you are doing ok?...I know this sounds a little cliché but just try to focus on the positive things and things that make you happy :)

    Try not to focus on the negative instead focus on the Postives
    I know it's easier said than done but the thing is you can get so much help and advice from people but it's up to you to put it into action...
    The fact that you're still here and talking on these Forums is a good positive sign...

    Love to every one  especially those who fight every second  of every day to get back what they lost. 
    Very low on strength.  I must and can only do this myself.

    I'm in a particularly vulnerable anxiety place myself right now, lastexit.  Good to have love and support here!  Hang in there!
