Hi and thanks @eth. Over here in the west it is dry and warm. Supposed to be around 26 today I think. But I am struggling a bit at the moment. Didn't sleep much last night even after taking a sleeping tablet. No actual plans for today, will just take it as it comes.

@Adge  Lots of love for you and your brother Adge. I cannot imagine how hard this is for you. Love peaxxx

Ok @eth  just wasn't quite sure that's all . Now i know. ..

Thanks for your thoughts @Angels333 @greenpea @eth @saturnzoon 

Thanks everyone, sorry if I can't get all the tags right.

Apparently it's quite hard to gain admission to the burns unit - you have to get a clearance, then be disinfected, then wear a special gown.

That's because of risk of spreading infections.

My brother is on life-support, with feeding & breathing.

He was unable to respond, when someone held his hand yesterday - although perhaps he was aware of who it was.

Yes, it's very hard.

I am one person who my brother would be very glad to see - if or when he becomes aware.

He has always greeted me with joy - I think because he knows that I am understanding, & that I don't judge him.

Kind thoughts to you all.

Adge

A big Hi and good morning to @Mazarita @Adge @eudemonism @cutiepiekitty @Angels333 @eth  🙂 sorry I have been silent on this thread for awhile just been hard coping with more than one thread daily. I am sure many of you would know what I mean. I do keep an eye on what is happening even if I dont post though and wish all of the Long Ravers well. Am still going for my walks with beautiful neighbour and support workers and mental health nurse in a constant battle of the buldge :p.

Have a great day everyone may it be full of love and kindness for all. Love peaxx

Hi @greenpea lovely to wake up to your message xx

I'm going for a walk today, but it's at the gym.   I'm going to go with son 2 at 10am, then I have DBT therapy from 12.30 to 3.30.   I'm anxious about DBT  I haven't been coping and I worry constantly about being admitted to hospital.    My life is actually pretty good and filled with joy most days, I just have this awful SH impulsive actions happening quite frequently.   I admit it's out of control but I'm really enjoying work and cooking and being around my family.   So it's a hard situation.    I really pray today that the DBT psychologists can come up with a plan for me to get more support for my problematic behavior (SH) without just suggesting hospital. Whether it's seeing my Psychiatrist weekly, I'm not sure..

Sorry @greenpea that was a bit of a long rave!

Hi @Adge How have you been going with everything happening with your brother?   Are you being kind to yourself?

@eudemonism @cutiepiekitty @Zoe7 @Shaz51 @Maggie @Molliex @MDT  @eth @outlander and all the other ravers, sending you warm wishes today and I hope you all have a moment of joy in you day.   Sending hugs (((💕💕)))

Love Angels333

@Angels333  Hi Angels333 I hope you have a good day and don't worry I know what you mean about sh. I find I can be going along steadily and then bam! something triggers it off and I am in the depths of despair and thinking all kinds of dark thoughts. Is quiet weird.

I hope you DBT goes well for you and your time with son 2 is fun as I am sure it will be. Have a great day. Love peaxxx

Morning @Angels333. You have something that many people don't have, and that's a desire to change and an awareness that SH isn't good. Have faith in yourself, you're so much stronger than you think.

I hope it goes well, I'll be thinking of you :ok_hand:🌻💕

[Zoe7]

Goodluck with it all today @Angels333 I hope you get some help with your SH urges and DBT goes oky. Let us know how it goes and if you get a plan in place
