What kind of things @Former-Member Society values a lot of crap things in my opinion. It doesn't make society right. It's what you value that is important. Sending hugs💜

Hi @Former-Member
Sorry to hear you are doing it tough.
There must be a way to be successful on YOUR terms. We all need bread on the table and a roof over our heads ... but do we actually need all the rest?
I just came back from the launch of a book by Donna Jackson "Art and Social Change: Dust a case study". Its a about Asbestos and theatre. Robyn Archer opened it.

Hi @Former-Member,
Sorry to hear you were having a tough time today and hopefully now you have taken your meds and are having a much needed sleep.
Recovery can be a long road with many ups and downs. I agree with other members who talk about redefining what it means to have success in one's life. It can mean different things to each person.
Right now, use self care and your support people to get through each day until you feel a bit stronger. Then maybe talk to your psychiatrist or counsellor about what does feeling better mean for you. What are the small steps towards this goal?
Self harming behaviour has a purpose and for some people, it's the main way they cope and find some relief from the emotional pain. However it can put your life at risk. So it's important to find other less risky ways to find relief.
I'll email you some helpline numbers to call if you are feeling worse. Hope you feel a bit better when you read this tomorrow.
Take care,
Frog
