Not Coping

It is so hard @Birdofparadise8.

The having to fake it. The fear of judgement if you say you are not ok. Then if you do confide in someone and they say ‘get over it’ or stop talking to you because your down all the time. It is really tough.

Im still really struggling with the whole MI thing but I have seen so much growth in me. I am becoming a much better and stronger version of myself. Yes there is days when I can’t see it at all but it is there.

I do have a friend that has been through a pretty big battle and come through the other side. She said she is a much better person for going through it, and while it was a lot of hard work she wouldn’t change it. The battle is what made her the person she is today.

She is my inspiration to fight this and make it through.

Exactly people ask how you are but how can you ever truly be honest like they probably don't even want to really know. Or you open up and then they don't want to talk you. Then you think it's your fault and feel even more isolated. Feeling like you are bringing everyone else around you down with you.

Well that's how I feel anyway.

That is great you've been able to grow from it. I hope I will get to that stage.

That is nice you have someone to look up to. @Captain24

You will @Birdofparadise8. I believe in you. It’s not going to be easy but as you travel along the road to recovery you will see the changes. I didn’t believe it myself but it does happen.

This has been a pretty deep chat! Lol I hope it has helped even a little

Im heading off to bed to try and keep my mood stable!

Sleep well and talk soon.

Yeah thank you it's been good.

I'm going to bed now as well anyway.

Have a good sleep talk later. @Captain24

Hey @Captain24 @Jynx @Shaz51 @tyme @Former-Member

How are you all doing today?

Hello hello 🙂 @Birdofparadise8

It's been a much needed quiet day for me today. I've had some big weeks, so I really needed a quiet one today.

What did you get up to?

That's nice to hear @tyme

I made a banana bread and that is about all I've done today. I've mostly been watching tv hahah.

You've done more than me @Birdofparadise8 !

Good on ya! How did the banana bread taste?

I love sweets. Ooooo banana bread with nutella 🙂

I haven't had any yet but I'll have a slice after dinner. @tyme

You got a busy day tomorrow?

I've just had dinner - salmon with brussels sprouts, broccoli and rice @Birdofparadise8 . My sister cooked it.

My nephew ate a piece of broccoli then stood up on his chair and said he was a 'broccoli-saurus' lol.... I had to laugh. I'm not sure whether he knows it is brontosaurus....

What are you having for dinner?
