I can't hide it either, that's why I'm probably not even going to try

Yea I mean the people told me it would be very intensive, hard, and a lot times sad. So we will see.

That is true, but also really rewarding. I have friends that are peer support specialists. They love the job, but it is hard.

That's good. I would think I know what to expect but I know I don't. What do they do at their job? What do they like and not like about it?

I might have to stop drinking coffee for awhile because my one cup, now, makes me anxious. Idk why.

They like the helping. That's the best part. They say the hardest part is seeing people struggle. And sometimes coworkers.

That sucks. Coffee is life.

childofchaos831 · Jul 21, 2019 at 06:17 AM

I've thought about becoming a peer support specialist. I just don't think I'm stable enough at the moment.

Morning! Omg what a difference. Yesterday when I turned on the A/Cs it was 88 degrees in here. It’s now 70 and I’m wearing a hoodie

. Feels so good!
Idk what I’ll do today. I’m already bored and I just got up.

Yea I think I need to. But doesn't decaf have some amount of caffeine too?

newtus · Jul 21, 2019 at 07:24 AM

I only drank half my coffee. I cannot finish it. I feel anxious.

Decaf has a minute amount of caffeine, not enough to make a difference. It shouldn't make you anxious...

Tiny, tiny amount. I switched to decaf recently. I just drink caffeinated tea if I need the energy now and still have regular coffee but only once in awhile for a treat

newtus · Jul 21, 2019 at 07:43 AM

Thanks yall. I'll probably get some soon if I can.

childofchaos831 · Jul 21, 2019 at 07:52 AM

TW self harm and hallucinations

Possible trigger:

I am seeing green pus coming out of one of the cuts on my arm. I can even touch it and smell it. It smells rancid.

I just sent a picture to a friend on FB messenger to reality check and he says it looks perfectly normal. All he sees is the sutures... That it even looks really clean and well taken care of.

I could even see the pus in the picture that I sent him... I haven't had a hallucinations this real in a long time.

Also, the demons have started breathing down my neck. Like I can feel the breath. They haven't done that in a while... I hate when they get that close to me. It's creepy... They are all three right next to me just on all sides.
