I want to punch 

@Former-Member

[outlander]

@BlueBay when i feel like smashing thing i get some socks, roll them into aball and then throw them at the wall or at the floor

[BlueBay]

[outlander]

I’m here @BlueBay

Are you safe?

[BlueBay]

@Mosaic @Newby @outlander  I’m trying the sock. It’s no use. I’ll look at my safety plan. 

Ok do you want to know why I’m angry - hubby is out from 8am this morning. And still nit home. Went to Grand Prix  with our son. When do I go out fir the whole day snd night - NEVER. I’m always home. No friends ask me to go out or go away for weekend. 

Dont worry about me anymore 

this is stupid and ridiculous 

Im so angry 

[outlander]

its not stupid @BlueBay i can understand why you would be angry
looking at your safety plan sounds good otherwise try scribbling really fast on some paper, do some star jumps to release some energy then do something relaxing to settle

[Newby]

@BlueBay that isn’t silly at all! Sometimes as mums we lose our identity a bit. I’d be shitty too but I’m probably the wrong person to ask haha

Can you run your hands under some really cold water for a few minutes. Just close your eyes and run the water over your hand. Concentrate on slowing down your breath. Just feel the cool water on you and concentrate on that xx
