    Rose angel - STOP!
    Stop right now hun.
    Remember what we learned - like your 1st Aid kit for times like this? Listen to Tiff.
    1. Sit down now.
    2. Deep breathing - good breath in and pain breath out. Slow everything down angel.
    3. Calm angel ok - think calm. Nothing's going to hurt you hun. You're just at home ok?
    4. Where's the dog Rosie? get your baby and give her some love.
    5. Get a drink of water angel.
    Are you still with me hun? Calm now - hush angel ok and try and focus. I want you to count to 100 Rose - focus means calm ok sweetheart?

    Ok angel - step by step remember? :T
    One at a time - no pressure. hun, you CAN breathe ok sweetheart? This is how anxiety can make you feel hun. You've had this many times before and it goes away doesn't it?
    Are you burned angel? Put any scalds under a cold running tap or shower for about 15 minites hun. Put a damp flannel in the freezer for 10 minutes and just lay it over a scalded/ burnt area and keep slowly put it on & off - don't wrap the flannel or anything else around a burn.
    Rosie - when you can angel - come back on & tell me what happened. We're all here for you sweetheart. Breathe deeply angel.:grouphug:

    Rose - try and move your focus away from what's happened to day ok? You're home now, take a long bath or shower as Elona says - I promise that always works for me - the water soothes my mind, like it's purifying me. Follow Tiff's instructions, keep breathing and breathing - long slow breaths. Make a space for some healing and some peace tonight. Love, Saz xxx

    thanks saz

    Hi angel - I'm here. ;) The whole gang is sending you good vibes.
    NO RULER ROSIE - STOP!:lovethoug :lovethoug :lovethoug
    Ok, baby steps hun. Sit down and count to 50 for me.
    We're not going to worry about flashbacks/dreams right now hun.
    Nothing else matters right now angel.
    Right now, we're going to get calm.
    Slow breathing angel.
    Lower your head towards your knees if you're dizzy.
    Breathe in for count of 3 & out for count of 5.
    Take some sips of water angel if you can.
    Rose, you won't be like this for long hun - it passes quickly. Come on we'll get everyone doing it together with you ok? You'll feel different really soon if you can calm down and then we'll talk about it ok angel? Tiffxxx

    before i was fine, well not fine but struggliing, now i am soo low, i just dont know what i will do.

    my dad forgot about me when i was at the dentist (he was meant to pick me up as its in the middle of no where), then i ended up walking, i cant even remember the walking my mind took over, it was thinking things i shouldnt, i didnt care about cars, i just dont care anymore, and just now my mum had a go and spilt boiling water o me, i am sure she didnt mean to. i just dunno what to do anymore:(

    i am soo sorry to come on here didnt know what else to do, i wanted to come on and be happy but right now all i wanna do is die, im soz im just hurting i dunno what to do, i just dunno, help....:cry:

    xxx

    (rose cant breathe, and pacing)

    :(

    Sorry to hear Rose. It's hard to know what to do when you get so low, but keep posting here where we all want you to be :)


    Is there anything you can be doing to take your mind off things? Any interests that can pick you up, the way Britney does me?

    You got Tiff love right back at ya!;) And Sazzy love and lovely elona too.
    Good, snuggle up in the blanket angel - it's comforting. The shaking and stabbing feelings usually come from too much adrenaline angel in a panic attack. You might feel exhausted and get a headahe too. If the pains get any stronger hun, call dr out to be sure or go up to A&E.
    Think logically now for me hun. You're doing all the right things & you're starting to feel better. You're slowing everything down - you must be feeling a little bit better right or you wouldn't be able to do these things. You're doing really well hun. :)
    We're not going to worry about anything right now hun - no-one's going to hurt you. Do you feel tired angel? Do you want to snuggle on your bed and take a nap? You sound better already hun(just read posts). I'm really proud of you.:j Rosie's back in control now isn't she?;)

    I'll be away tomorrow, as going to see estranged family instead :o Re-arranged from Saturday, as seeing 'S' then instead.

    Been for a walk :)

    Text 'S' before I left, saying how nice it was to hear from her etc etc.........she text back, and at the end, rather than just "Take Care, 'S' x" she added "Love" :o Has made me all warm!

    Anyway, bought 4 newspapers..........had lots of Britney stuff in (I collect anything, inc paper/magazine cuttings - have zillions!) So that's made me feel good too!!!!

    Oh and 'S' is keeping Britney cuttings for me too.....

    So since 6ish, it's been great stuff...........At least 'S' wants to see me on Saturday, and she says she's gonna pay for lunch, her treat........we'll see if she can afford too........she gets 2/3 times the amount of money I do, but spends it very quick!! Anyway, she owes me £20 too, keeps putting it off. Flatmate thinks that may be another reason she cancels me, not cos she doesn't wanna pay, but maybe thinks i'd get angry if she doesn't.............she can have the damn jacket as a gift, I really don't care! Her company is worth more than £20!!!!

    Anyway, cheered up alot, esp after the 'love' bit............I know, easily pleased!!!! ;)
