no one is around

@Eden1919 funnily enough staying on meds is harder for me than staying off alcohol. I do that for my family too.

@Eden1919

Some people are more sensitive and supportive, and I have often sensed that about you.

I have also done a lot of listening, caring and physically putting things in place, but somehow, it was not reciprocated. I did not do those things to get a friendly response, it just seemed the right things to do.

People do have a lot of stuff to get through in life ....

@Bunniekins 's right in that.

My journey is different to @Bunniekins regarding mental illness, medication and alcohol.

Alcohol has never been a problem for me ...

one uncle said to me we all have to come to terms with the limits of love in our worlds ...

I took that as a considered caring answer. In a weird way he was the uncle who gave the most, and it was not a lot, he also was an uncle by marriage and not by birth, and then separated from my aunt, so it became complicated.

We often seek agreement in social situations, wanting others to validate us. It has not happened for me. Nup. Nobody in my corner, so now I am teasing that out a little. Last night I said ... I was not feeling too sympathetic ... about something ...it was a first. Mostly I took the world's suffering on my shoulders. We cannot control what others do. I am extending myself less these days, looking after myself more, before others ...

I do not see the med/no med scenario as the only solution. I have never wanted my family medicated so I could feel better ....though I know that is a conversation that happens a lot ....

Wishing you both a decent life ... with your time ... on this strange planet ....with its strange inhabitants ...me included ....lol

Take Care

thats not a good place to be in @Eden1919 I can relate a bit to what you mean ,its not easy when you have alot on your mind ,worries ect but not having the support you need to just let it out ect ,having someone to listen and care is definetly important to help us through things,it seems unfair and one sided that your supporting others howeever theyre not being so suportive of you,you definetly deserve the same care and support that you give them,maybe they do notice but are scared to upset you, maybe your apearing very strong for others on the outside but inside they cant tell the struggles your facng and it sounds like your feeling like you have to face those struggles alone,cause the support you really need and deserve isnt there for some reason,hope this at least helps ,people on the foroms are here for you take care and keep reaching out,your not alone ok

@Appleblossom @LostAngel thank you.

sorry i cant give a proper response today i am too sad as my pet rabbit had to be put down today and i also had to move apartments so i am exhausted.

Ooooo @Eden1919 !

I'm sure you are not feeling the best at the moment - I hear you.

In the last two weeks, I had two rabbits put down. I was devastated - one each week. I took them to emergency but they were too sick. They both caught COVID - it was not a pretty sight. I wanted them to go peacefully, so asked for them to be put down.

After, I just cried.

So hugs to you @Eden1919 . Your rabbit is resting. Your rabbit would want you to continue being the best person you can be. I remember the good times I had with my rabbits by watching videos and looking at photos of them.

Sitting with you,

tyme

N.B. Please don't feel obliged to respond. I just wanted you to know that I'm holding your hand through this.

@Eden1919

Flower for recognising the sadness and letting go.

Rabbit Drawing to remember ...

Your feelings are reasonable.

Wishing you the best in your new place.
