I can’t cope

@Captain24  Depends

It’s funny that I ask that question and all I’ve been getting since is the ‘forbidden’ error @Bow 

Just something that was put in a trigger box but others would never have been allowed to say that. 

[Bow]

Same thing happened to me @Captain24 ! I seen that you asked that question and went to click on your thread to reply and I get locked out with the forbidden thing! 

and yep. Never would have been allowed to say that word. Would of been removed asap

[Captain24]

I was actually thinking of you when I read it @Bow. That is a trigger word and shouldn’t be used. 

[Bow]

Thanks @Captain24  i 100000% agree but what can ya do??? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 

[Captain24]

Nothing I guess. @Bow Its not the first time.

No one answered my question anyway, just locked me out

It’s nearly 2 in the morning and I just can’t sleep. I have to get up at 5:30 for work. I have tried everything. White noise, cool room, breathing, counting, I just can’t relax and switch off. I need to go to sleep. I’m so tired and I have to be up in just over 3 hours. 

Im just so wired. The white noise is overstimulating me but so is the quiet. I have one dog in the bed with me and the other one got off because I was tossing and turning so much. 

It’s like I’ve got a lot on my mind… well I guess I do. Lots of intrusive thoughts but usually sleep makes them quiet. I have so much noise in my head. The longer I stay awake the more the thoughts come and the stronger they get. I’m safe but really wish I wasn’t. Existence right now is not appealing. 

I just keep doom scrolling because I’m bored but wired. It makes no sense. It’s like a compulsion.

Morning @Captain24 I'm thinking you're probably at work now but it sounds like you had a shocker of a sleep. It's so horrible being in that state where you're exhausted but also wired. I hope you did eventually get some sleep. Maybe later we can go over some more techniques you could try in case you face these problems again tonight?

[Ru-bee]

Just reading up a bit @Bow @Captain24 could you flag the post so we can look into it? We do miss things sometimes so always really appreciate it when members are able to bring things to our attention that may have slipped by, though I can see you've mentioned this is something that's happened before so maybe our team need to review this. 

I hear this has affected you both and I'm really sorry. I hope you're both doing okay today, I'll be around if either of you need to talk

[Bow]

I could flag it @Ru-bee  but this person seems to be allowed to say whatever as long as it’s in a trigger box. 

I get the purpose of trigger boxes, allowing people to choose whether they read. But think there are some things that just need to not be said. I was never allowed to say this word, always removed. 🤷🏼‍♀️
