Only if it's into a giant pool filled with soft and fluffy things @Bow
Not even remotely sick of you hun. Not really in my nature to abandon someone in their hours of need either.
I'd miss you if you stopped chatting to me, we all would!

@Bow maybe it's a good opportunity to take everything back to basics?
Slow, measured breaths. If it's too hard to keep track there's heaps of guided breathing on youtube - here's a short one I found for box breathing.
One step at a time ok? Have you had some water and a bite today? It's okay if you haven't cos I know that is a potential trigger point for you.
Maybe take a moment to do some gentle stretches and repeat some affirmations?
You are safe, you are worthy, you are wanted, and no darkness has ever won - it never lasts either.
You are more than your past and more than your trauma.
Where are you at out of 10?

Meds sound like a really good idea right now. I know things feel intense, so like @Jynx said, bringing everything back to basics will help. What is one thing you can do in this moment? Just one.
Glass of water maybe? Curling up under a blanket? Big breath in, big sigh out? Giving your body a shake? Let me know what you decide to do. @Bow 💛

@Bow I gotta dash so soon hun but lemme know if email?
If it keeps yo-yoing could you let your mum know? I hesitate to say try calling CMH again but maybe you'd get someone different this time, it's been hours so staff probably changed over by now.
