Confused

[Jazzey]

Last night, I went ahead and did something stupid. By 4:30 this morning, I ended up calling emergency services and spent the night in the hospital. The whole time, wondering why exactly I was there.

To everyone here, I offer the same sound advice about getting rid of everything, calling crisis lines etc. And for me last night, I didn't listen to that advice. I just ran on immediate impulse and forged ahead before I could convince myself otherwise.

having said all of this, I'm grateful to be here tonight and I'm ok. I feel a little stupide for my mindset last night, but I can get over that because I'm still here.

From this side of the fence, when the images are still fresh - I wish I had gotten rid of everything. Then I could have distracted myself and not worry about them.

I hope this post makes sense.

It makes sense Jazzey, no worries.

I can understand the confusion of the situation.

Sorry I do not have better words, but you are in my thoughts Jazzey. :kiss2:

[Jazzey]

Thanks boi - I'm a-ok.

Getting rid of everything won't necessarily take away the thoughts, but it means you have to work harder when that impulse hits. Those extra steps give your mind the time to slow down, for the impulse to fade.

It's not necessarily a set-back, J. It's a step you took during the process, albeit a pretty drastic one, and I've no doubt you will move forward because of it.

And I'm really glad you're alive today to tell us about it. Really, really glad.
