can't stop crying

feeling little and lost cant stop crying duffy is at home and im scared to go outside from the library it is cold and scary might need hospital am calling friends for help alas babylon

is there someone who could pick you up?
do you have any prescribed emergency medication to calm yourself down?
hang in there <3

emergency medication? yes! thank you, we do have a PRN. waiting to hear from a friend.

hey hope things are getting better. let us know.

hi littleDaria, did you connect with your friend. Like beccabee says keep us posted.....and it is ok to cry. just please be safe.

I'm also hoping that things got better. Let us know when you're able.

Maybe Duffy just needs to come everywhere with you in case of situations like this?

Eventually we managed to settle down enough to walk home. The Ativan didn't kick in till we'd got home so we ended up having a nap while cuddling Duffy. We may have cried ourselves to sleep.

Then... we had an episode early this morning. This time we had Duffy and curled up with him for a bit. We keep crying and are not sure why, though it has been suggested our newest alter, who is pre-verbal, and from a period of severe neglect, is broadcasting her pain to everyone, which could well be true. we wrote a 2000 word blog entry about memory and anxiety too. Writing for us is, for the most part, cathartic, although we also had to stop writing about theories of dissociation as writing about early childhood, even in the abstract, was becoming triggering.

Thank you, everyone, for your concern. We usually do have Duffy with us and take him most places but now and again we forget him (like we did today. crap). We heard back from our friend, when we were napping at 22h45 and so missed the call. The weather here is Arctic. It is -20C with a windchill of -31C. Not beach weather at all. We bundled up in our parka and gloves to make it to the coffee shop.

Glad to hear you made it home ok!

Hi Daria,

Sorry you had a bad time. We keep a picture of our favorite stuffie on our phone so Evan can see it when he's upset.

Ooooh. We like the idea of keeping a photo of Duffy Bear on our phone! That had not occurred to us. Thank you! Not sure our littles will remember that but it sure doesn't hurt to try.
