It’s a mess *for now* OP, and it’s actually healthy to acknowledge that because that’s how you can stay motivated to start taking the steps to make it better. And you’re doing that. So maybe try to grasp a sense of pride in that and chase that feeling. Show up to court with humility and eagerness. Lots of “yes your honor” and “no your honor” and you’ll do just fine. Keep your doctors appointments. This is key. And know that you deserve love. First from yourself and then from others. You have a purpose in this life. Seek it and do good. You got this, OP |
| OP do you have any hobbies or favorite TV shows or books? |
Court will be fine. It's a formality to help you stay safe. It will be a relief when it's done and you have one less thing to worry about. |
That does sound scary. I went to court once when I got a ticket for reckless driving. I haven’t been to court since and I think I’d be more scared now as an adult. Something about being an invincible teen. I’ll bet the judge will be a lot nicer to you and have way more sympathy for you! I don’t remember my court date being traumatic- just kind of a formality. Can you think of a treat you can give yourself once your court appointment is over? It sounds silly, but it works for me. Ice cream? Binge a show, buy a book, get your nails done, order chick fil a, bake cupcakes for yourself? Go to a dog park? Good luck tomorrow. It really will be okay. |
| They should have set you up with aftercare support. Is there any info about that in your discharge paperwork? Do you have a contact at the hospital you can call to ask them to help connect you with someone? |
No I don’t |
| Hope you are resting and wake up refreshed. A warm bath helps too or a soothing tea with honey at this time. Alll will be well. |
That wasn’t OP. I went to bed and slept well. I do have hobbies and did some gardening last night. That helped. Thank you for the support, everyone! |
| You are correct; you life does sound like one big mess. I suggest you get off Dcum and start working on it. |
