Life and trauma

Just try to take it easy and minimize everything you can.  Relax and just think about how hilarious my jokes are. 😁

Just try to distract yourself with anything you can to keep that stress as low as you can.  We're here with you.

The kitten is going well.  Like a furry Energizer bunny!  She does like feet.  She will wait it ambush just inside a door and wait for me to walk past to spring out and pounce on my feet.  So it's very hard to not stop on her at the moment.  Especially at night with a most black kitten on darkish carpet with little lighting.  You just walk back to bed and feel a new kitten sized slipper on your foot! 😁

Silly Luna trying to attack your feet although a new slipper sounds nice 😂

@Former-Member 

I hope you're finding the person at lifeline helpful.  I'm sure they are concerned about you.  Like us, they just want you to be safe right now.

[Former-Member]

@MJG017 didn't find it helpful. I was in tears and freaking out and I just get well I'm going to let you go, but reach out again another time if you need to.

@Former-Member 

That is so disheartening to hear.  I never went forward with any of the training after I decided to do the Cert IV instead, so I have no idea if they have time constraints out on them, or even what the general process is of taking a call.  The most important thing though is that it didn't help you, and im sorry it turned out like that for you.

Could you give the Sane line a call?  I know they're not 24/7 but it's an option right now.

Is talking on here helping @Former-Member? 

If you're allergic to cats then I think my brother's fluffy cat would be a nightmare. Here's a photo of him sleeping I took just before:

 

@MJG017 what is it about kittens and feet? One of my cats used to loooove attacking feet in bed when he was a kitten. They're funny little things

[MJG017]

@Ru-bee 

I guess if you're a kitten a foot seems like a good match size wise.  Plus it's already on the ground so it's readily attackable.

Your brother's cat is soooo fluffy!  So cute!

@MJG017 it was frustrating to say the least. I'm just going to stick with chatting here for the moment. But I have chatted to sane the last couple of days and they have been amazing. 

@Ru-bee yes it is helping. 

Awww he is so cute, I push past the allergies cos kitten/cat cuddles are awesome. Nothing an antihistamine can't solve anyway. 

My heart rate has spiked and isn't dropping, I keep blacking out, my whole body is shaking both inside and out.

Hey @Former-Member , I'm sorry to hear things are so hard. It is concerning that you are blacking out and shaky. Do you think you need a lie down or rest or something? Or even 000?

[Former-Member]

@tyme it's a combination of stress and my heart rate being too high. I'm laying down, I got up to get a drink and ended up in a heap on the floor. But I'm ok and just trying to rest. I'll call 000 if it gets worse.
