Just introducing myself .

Im having trouble with self care generally and can see the destruction building but I feel unable to stop and redirect.

Any one else have this problem please?

Hey @Blossom2, 

I'm sorry to hear you feel the self-destruction building, that sounds very painful and we're sitting with you  Did anything help you to get through it yesterday? It's really courageous to reach out when you're going through such a tough time. 

Hopefully members will jump in with how they try and navigate feeling self-destructive and struggling to tune into that self-care and self-compassion too.

Hi @Blossom2 , I have only just found your post. I have the same problem with self care. I also seeing the destruction coming and feel powerless to do anything to stop it. I know where this path leads and it's not pretty. I have done some really silly things lately and my care has been taken out of my hands and now have my ex back at our place monitoring me 24 hrs a day. 

@Blossom2 , do have any supports in place?

Hi @Blossom2 , welcome.

I personally can't find any self care strategies that work for me, so I guess I can relate?
