Struggling

All good @Appleblossom, I didn't start off alone off grid but have ended up that way.

Not sure if I would recommend it but it's my reality so...

I'm looking forward to availing myself of my daughter's bathroom - she's offered unlimited hot showers for the duration of my stay.

You're quite right that I should be that Mama Bear 🐻

Thanks for your company @Dimity, I'm getting a handle on these feelings, letting them pass over me with my breath as you suggested.

I haven't listened to music for too long. I think I'll put my headphones in and drift away.

Take care,

Nice being with you @RedHorse, I enjoyed my decaf. Look after yourself.

Hi @RedHorse,

I'm really sorry to read you have been struggling. I hope today is brighter for you. The strength you showed to share you truth, seek support while allowing your feelings to pass over with the support of @Dimity and @Appleblossom was inspiring.

@Dimity and @Appleblossom the way you both supported @RedHorse was so lovely to read. We are so lucky to have you all on the forums, looking out for each other and sharing your support.

You all represent what the forums are about - peer support, non-judgement and hope!

Warm wishes,

Hi there Forum Friends 🙋

Just checking in with a brighter outlook on life and my upcoming interstate trip to visit my daughter on Monday.

I have packed my suitcase and pretty much sorted my carry on luggage and am now left with the caravan clean up operation before I leave. This is not my strong point as some of you may recall.

Experience tells me that I will wake up tomorrow feeling down and depressed and want to stay in bed (I tend to feel more positive in the evening and negative in the morning for some reason) but I must force myself up and outside if it's fine or to the couch to do some admin and lists if it's raining. Once this is done, there is only the dreaded clean up operation to be tackled. Well that and my miracle make over on Sunday. Fingers crossed for a warm, sunny day for that.

I hope everyone is doing okay on this Friday night and looking forward to the weekend.

Take care,

P.S I am feeling very anxious but am determined to make it excitement related rather than panic and stress.

Good on you @RedHorse ! That's really good way to view things 🙂 Proud of you.

Thinking of you @RedHorse and wishing you well as you navigate westward

Dimity

Thankyou for your well wishes @Dimity

I can't believe it is the night before I'm leaving on a jet plane 😲

Just under a month ago I was obsessing over the visit of my brother and SIL and you were supporting me then too.

I really appreciate your contact and encouragement through life's struggles on this thread.

I hope you and Cat are going okay and wish you a pleasant and productive week.

Take care,
